It's a little softer than the realistic look (which I find a little harsh once it gets busy with colors and gears).

They sort of make me think of the "illuminated blueprints" from the book "A canticle for Leibowitz" (If you've never read it: In a post-apocolyptic world, monks find and preserve engineering blueprints by copying them in illuminated style, not understanding their purpose, like monks did with religious texts in the real world.)<BR/><BR/>Along those lines, it would be interesting to see this in a more stylized look, sort of like the embellishments added in an illuminated manuscript.Robin Norwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083189311658885711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-28628451916964997432008-04-09T14:50:00.000+03:002008-04-09T14:50:00.000+03:00The "blueprint" version of the ink on paper is nic...The "blueprint" version of the ink on paper is nice, but maybe add more variation in the blue background color.

Just shifting the color palette a bit (i.e. keeping the light brown a light blue and the dark brown a dark blue).<BR/><BR/>I like the monochrome logo there...but with those color changes, maybe the genuine logo would fit better.<BR/><BR/>just my thoughts, you're doing a great job as always :) but I wouldn't want my desktop to be gold/silver or to be it 98% very dark blue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-72307716029585096962008-04-09T13:18:00.000+03:002008-04-09T13:18:00.000+03:00When I was thinking sapphire grear, in my mind's e...When I was thinking sapphire grear, in my mind's eye, I was envisioning something like steampunk transformers: Optimus Prime crawling out of a 10,000 year old dirt grave with a busted chest plate. A half hidden cog, dull, faded, cracked and chipped. That one special grear in all his being that makes him tick. The Fedora Cog.
