Pixelated Utopian Logo Design

[runicar]

Inspired by @flauwy
1UP Logo Contest - Create A New Pixelart Mascot

I decided to create a pixelated version of the Utopian logo. This is how it turned out.

25x25px

Version 2

I used Adobe Illustrator and this is how I made it.

First I made a new 1000x1000px file and made a grid that allows me to color each individual square however I want and gave it a 1pt stroke so that I can see it.

Then I outlined basic shapes for the logo

With the eyedropper tool I took samples of the colors I wanted for the design and they are all uopian trademark colors that we all recognize and love.

Then I colored all the other squares accordingly and by trial and error I was able to get close to the Utopian trademark logo design.

To finish things off I decided to write write Utopian below the design with the same color-pallete that was used for the logo.

25x25px version

25x25px Version 2, without text

Original files can be browsed and downloaded here

If anyone want's to use it, obviously feel free to do so. That's why I made it :)
Have a great day.

Cheers!

Very retro 8-bit looking! Reminds me of all the atari games I used to play as a kid :-D

[runicar]

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate it :)

Everyone's a critic ;)
But gratitude is the most powerful force :D

P.S. I left you some messages on Discord! Have a great day. Sorry for my late reply. I'm home for the holidays now and have a bit more time. Cheers.

Of course and it's a bad thing when they can decide on whether or not something is good enough for utopian or not. But nevertheless you encouraged me enough to keep up with the pixel art and I'll be making more of them in the future for sure. I've hit you up on discord :)

Thanks for the support.

Have a great day and happy holidays!

looks like a copy-paste from Terraria :D

[runicar]

Copy- paste? What are you talking about? Care to provide the image you are referencing to?

• unfortunately the quality of this work does not meet the standards of utopian.io plus I can't imagine anywhere this version of logo would be preferred to the official version

What's wrong with a little pixel art? I think it looks cool and anyone who is into pixel art would appreciate it but ok.

[d-pend]

I guess not everyone likes/understands the pixel aesthetic, but I personally like it =D

[kiaazad]

pixel art needs to be well crafted and stays loyal to the original design as much as possible, in this case the colors and aspect ratio don't match

[runicar]

Colors were taken from the original logo. Aspect ratio? lol man

[kiaazad]

as far as I know utopians logo is not spotted

[runicar]

First is a retro digital look with randomly mixed pixels from utopians gradient and the other has a gradient feel to it. It can't look any other way using only pixels and this is the look I wanted to achieve . If you don't like the look that's your opinion but I respectfully disagree
