Mad Planets - mplanets(mj_09-12-08)

Here's a theme I created for Mad Planets.

Any insight or suggestions?

The astronauts hover over the logo and the video.
I had to photoshop the rest of the spaceship because there was only half a ship in the poster.

Looks good except the logo is partially blocked by the "Next system" graphic. Anyway you can move it up a bit.

yea...everything looks good except its bottom heavy and special artwork covers the logo. Either bump up the video, astronaut and logo up around 100 pixels or put the logo up top, bump the video, astronaut and spaceship down a bit.

looks good!

Version 2.

Made the astronauts smaller and moved the logo up 80px.

Its better balanced...only thing is your logo is covered by the dev/year tag. I think thats one of the reasons why most logos are at the top. I see where you are running into some constraints though. Perhaps scaling the logo down a bit and moving Mad a little closer to Planets (say half the distance it is currently at) will get the logo clear. Definitely save a copy of the logo layer if you try this. The only other thing I noticed is that the edges are a bit ratty. I think you could get that a little cleaner with remove matting or defringe. Are you using Photoshop?

The black in the logo is a little washed out also. Looks alot betterh though.

Version 3.

I am using Photoshop to edit the pictures and Illustrator for making vector logos and backgrounds.

The pictures that I am posting are low quality because its the only way I can shrink the file down below 100k. Any help with that? The reason I state that is because the logo for example is RGB Black but it doesn't seem like it, the pictures are all defringed 20px as well.

I made the logo smaller by 10% and I moved the "planets" closer to the "mad". Based on the suggestion, I moved the logo to the right in order for the dev/year tag not to get in the way.

I made a theme for this game (take a look at it), and I think it's my best theme !

Yours is different, and interesting too.
