Hello TL! It's sunday, and sunday is laundry day!
Doing the laundry involves alot of waiting around, and so to entertain myself I decided to try and create a blend between the Dota 2 logo and the Team Liquid logo. Because I'm nerdy like that  For some reason I always tend to turn these things into wallpapers, as I really can't find any other use for them, haha!
So anyways, thought I'ld share them incase anyone else might enjoy them aswell!
Made in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The thumbnails link to 1920x1800 verions.
[edit] Thanks for all the lovely comments and input, people! I've re-worked the pictures a bit, incorporating some of your lovely suggestions! The other ones are in the spoiler tags to make it a bit easier on the eyes. [/edit]
First we have the liquid blue of course!

And just for variety, we add just a pinch more dota into the kettle!

[edit] Added one with both colours that turned out better than I had thought. Thanks to KharadBanar! [/edit]

Woah nice job! They look awesome!
|
I've now found my new wallpaper. Very nicely done.
|
Awesome job! You could even mix the two colours, making the left "Dota" part red and the right "Liquid`" part blue or something. That way, there's an interesting contrast and both halves retain their original colour.
|
Thank you guys, glad you enjoy it! 
@KharadBanar: I was thinking of that aswell, but I'm afraid it would make it look more like the two seperate logos next to eachother rather than a merged one. Will play around a bit more though
|
Turned out a bit better when darkening the blue and changing the angle of the gradient  Looks better in the real size than the thumbnail tho, lol. Updated OP.
|
|
Nice Well done indeed.
|
|
They look awesome, well done!
|
Nazgul: Would you consider using something like this officially? Because it looks pretty badass :O
|
Sweet jebus! Thanks for the tweet, Nazgul! :D
|
Badass as hell. Going to use it for a while :D
Any chance for a phone-sized one?
|
|
And now I've added all 3 to a rotation. Well done sir.
|
@elt: Haha, that's qutie a compliment that you would want to carry it around with you, so I'll try to add that aswell! :D
@Nazgul: Those are 1920x1080 but I'll add some more common resolutions aswell 
Will update in a bit!
|
looks great one of my new wallpapers
|
I cringe everytime I see people using Bevel and Emboss. Here's how you make it better.
- Remove the bevel and emboss - Use the font that team liquid uses in their logo - Use the background colour that team liquid uses in their banner - Reduce background shadow
|
Wow! looks pretty nice - for sure my new wallpaper as well! Nice laundry day!!
|
Well the last one is my new wallpaper, these are awesome. Plus you got Nazgul to post in your thread, achievement unlocked.

I'm sure you could post how you would do it better. I think how it looks is just fine.

The b&e is to make it look a bit more like the Valve made logo that's not flat, but you're right it looks great without it aswell. I'll add those versions too. As for the background, it's the same colour, literally taken from the banner. Font, just about as close as you'll get.

Count down to featured. I would love to see it on a background like this as well.

|
I think the background being a gradient rather than a solid color would be a bit better. Nonetheless, great work!
|
Here's my version. If anyone wants, I could do different resolutions as well.
|
I like Hayley Williams too much to change now, but saved all 4 for future use, thanks! ^_^
|
Updated the original post with resolutions and versions.
|
|
Wow! Awesome sir, my new Dota desktop background!
|
I'd pay for a shirt with that logo.

I found my new desktop background, thanks!

I'd love if if you could add the names of the players in a similar fashion as Contrary did! Then they'll be perfected!

Personally I feel the extra text clutters things. But feel free to edit it to fit your desktop!
