Well regarding the dungeons you've mentioned... You have darkness but no mention of light. why not have a light themed dungeon? Sort of like TP's temple of Time but... well, light actually plays a part in it.

Hmm, well then. About your banner/ title thing. It's a bit weird to look at. Either because it's too colorful or because the words aren't dark enough for a white background. Then again, it could be the background altogether making it look strange.

Is there a png version with transparency instead of white?

what. That is png, it is not blurry what i know of, and what do you mean with transparency, in ms paint white IS transparency O.o

However, i SUSPECT you mean something else with transparency. I have seen pictures where the background isnt white, its is white-grey chekcered. I do not know how to accomplish that.

Well, in my opinion, the background does not necessarily have to be transparent...but the because of how you cropped the image, it would look better with transparency. White is not transparent - it is a color. Transparent means no color at all. You're right, it's the kind of "checkered white and grey" background you would normally see in something like Photoshop or whatever. Back to the cropping - you literally left no white space around the logo at all. It looks strange with a background because of this. Equally, because of the white, the goldish color used for "The Legend of" and "Time Collapse" is slightly harder to read.

First off, it is blurry. You can see it in edges of "Zelda". Second, the spacing of the two "subtitles" or whatever are not spaced well at all. The space between "The Legend of" and "Zelda" is not the same as the space between "Zelda" and "Time Collapse". You should make that space the same. It's kind of neat how you put the triforce and the medallions in the background...but your text on top is soooo overwhelming to the viewer that it's hard to even make out what it is. I mean, I know what they are because I've seen this layout before used several times in several other games. The text covers way too much of it.

I thought, maybe the triforce with medallions could appear on the background first, then the text. I dont know about the text placement, but i personally kind of preffered this layout. The background is going to be greyish light teal and look like a monochrome demisians temple. (His temple looks a lot like the temple of time of Twilight rpnicess inside)

Anyway, i am most certainly going to keep the triforce with symbols, it took a long time to make it, and im glad you like it. How should i put it in relation to the text? I thought i perhaps could put it behind the Z in the beginning to...

I agree with star on the spacing of the words (The Legend of [vs] Zelda [vs] Time Collapse)

Also yes the white in MSPaint is actually not transparency. MSPaint (in any version) doesn't support the alpha channel (transparency layer) at all! It's rather unfortunate. I know for a fact that programs like GIMP and Photoshop (any maybe Paint.NET?) support transparency, and it does indeed look like a checkerbox.

I used Paint.NET and made it transparent.



Paint.NET is totally free and is far better than MS Paint. And the ability to have multiple layers really helps when working on projects like this where there is a symbol and text over it. If you wanted, with Paint.NET you could make the symbol and the text two separate layers so that making changes to one layer won't affect the other layer, stuff like that. Another use for layers is to make a graphic without shading, and add the shading in as another layer, so you can change your shading style later if you want without actually changing the graphic itself.

To solve the moving picture dilemma, perhaps the logo/objects could fit on a stationary plaque of sorts (ones imagination can be used to replace plaque with an appropriate object)!

The name is a bit misleading. It is not built in to a webpage or anything; it's a normal graphics design program. When in doubt of the digital and technological kind, CNET:
http://download.cnet.com/Paint-NET/3000-2192_4-10338146.html

I wasn't sure if you wanted the white in the triangles or not. But now you can download Paint.NET (via the link above) and do all the cool things yourself! Yea! :) To get transparency, all you have to do is delete the parts you want to be transparent. Deleted parts are automatically transparent. Then, save it as a png and it's done. Very simple once you know the program, and it's not to hard to get the hang of, which is why I recommend it to anyone who wants to take a step up from MS Paint.

There were only 2 things that I had to really understand and get used to in Paint.NET (I had previously used MS Paint). The first thing I had to get used to was how selections work. Anything outside of a selected area is considered to be non-existent. For example, I kept trying to get a color and I was confused why it didn't grab the color, but then I realized that it didn't work because I could only get a color from inside the selection, and I had been trying to grab a color from outside of the selection. In the same way, and effects you apply will only be applied to a selected area, so you usually don't want anything selected when applying an effect (unless you are doing something with red eye or some other special case). The other thing that screwed me up at first were the layers. I used to switch layers and I would forget to switch back to the desired layer, so I started drawing on a layer that I didn't want to draw on (at least there is unlimited undo/redo). Besides the selecting and the layers, the transition from MS Paint to Paint.NET was pretty easy.

This looks like too much color, it might be me, but I noticed in all official Zelda games. That..

1- every word in The Legend of Zelda is the same color. (whether that color is red, (commonly) purple (MM), whatever, the words in the series name are always one color, sometimes with darkened etchings. (how the letters look engraved with the slits)

2- They normally have something regarding the major element of the game with color to match. However, they never reveal too much of the plot with the title. (OoT had the master sword and hylian shield, MM had Majora's Mask, Wind Waker had the King of Red Lions, etc.) This looks like it's showing EVERYTHING, from the temples you do, the 3 pieces of the Triforce, and some more stuff. You might tone it down a bit. Just my opinion of course.

Other than that, have you considered making something to represent time being broken? Maybe a pendulum, or clock hands, that kind of thing.

First, i consideresd the temporal shield as the background, but those are the symbols on the shield anyway. The main color are greyish teal, wich is the main color of demisians castle. Also, the backgerund is supposed to be demisians castle. However, the symbols and all that cannot foresee my second protagonist, Tonae, who have been lumped together with Link unwillingly. I love her character. Do you suggest i make the greyish letters a bit cracked?

I just got a good idea. The symbols appear first, then the letters, and when the real background appears the greyish letters become cracked. :D

It's more that I read it like The Legend of Time Collapse. I think that the triforce could be taken out of your title, the upside down triangle looks good as a standalone in my opinion. But what does gold have to do with the game?

wut. The trfiorce does have a big role in this game. The triforce is one of the main reasons the time is collapsing. Should the letters be grayish to?
