logo development

going out at around 4ish today and seeing as i only woke up around 1.30, i haven't had much time to develop the logo i was working on last night. i did manage to bring them into photoshop and work on them a little bit though and here are the few that i drew up...

two different head sizes. in my original drawings the heads were quite flat and wide but from some of the photos i looked at of the nails on the internet, it showed that some also had tall, thin heads. i tried both.

decided i much preferred the flatter head and then went and put the other lines on it. it also looked far too wide - as i want to put two together to make an 'X' this could look strange with such a wide image. so i shrunk it down and made it thinner.

i put the two together to make X's. i think i was right about the wider ones looking a bit odd, but, saying that, it's pretty hard to tell without having them coloured in etc. i think i prefer the thinner nails anyway purely because of the angle that they're able to be on. i put the wider nails on 45 degree angle and the heads were far too close together, so they are now on a 55 degree angle. the thin nails, however, sit at 45 just fine. eh, we'll see.

anyway i've ran out of time, i gotta go get ready and stuff to go out. i'll get round to developing these a bit more tomorrow when i'm home. oh, exciting times.
