Thats a step in the right way but a raw trace wont cut it I'm afraid, if you straighten the paths on the highlights and shadows properly I think it'll look amazing. live trace can be too sloppy and precise at the same time causing it still to look like a raster and messing up your detail. you can either do that or redraw the whole thing in illustrator, I know it may seem like a lot of work but its really not and the outcome would be much much better.

About the type, eh.. if you really like that style I'd suggest using Avant Garde but otherwise I'd recommend something classic like Futura or Frutiger. Or just use Helvetica like a normal person. ;p

Also I really think you should get the kerning straight, note the first and second "i" in "liquid" in example.

Just try to make the illustration flat, like 1 colour yellow for the background shape, 1 for shadows, 1 for borders, 1 for highlights etc.

On the print note its easy to print as it is, since this particular one would use only cyan and yellow of cmyk and thats essentially 50% cheaper.

laste you sound like an expert yourself, why not do some designs of your own?

Sh0guni, that looks brilliant mate, really looking forward to the T and Z designs!

I'm flatted that you'd consider me an expert, but its nothing really beyond common knowledge. Even if I were to have expert advice, I'd hardly drop it just out of the goodness of my heart.

While I'd love to produce designs for TL, I take my work sort of seriously and I don't participate in crowdsourcing - its an elite form of mockery and ridicule of my noble profession(and many others), even if its non-profit and is for this awesome community^^. I don't mean to be cocky, its not 'bellow' me or anything, I just don't like contests is all.

Wow in one post you manage to shit on every single submission in the thread, everyone who has put in time and effort into making this, the community in general, and anything that doesn't involve getting paid.

You start off by implying that no one here is taking this seriously. Then you go on to say crowd sourcing, an open call to do work on something without getting payed is "an elite form of mockery and ridicule" Attacking crowd sourcing like that is an attack on anything voluntary, from open source programming projects, to wikipedia, to habitat for humanity.

Teamliquid is staffed entirely by volunteers, so according to you, by contributing to the community with his wizardry R1CH is actually mocking, and ridiculing all professional programmers, which, of course, includes himself.

Don't even get me started on calling what ever profession you are in noble.

Get over your self.

I can tell that this thread has been slowing down considerably the past week
