JPG SUX!!! USE PNG!!!
There are times when JPG is useful, TTD screenshots is not one of them. Please use PNG instead.

What's about combining both? Using the earth's detail texture from the first one, but with the gradient to white at the sphere's edges from the old version?

I don't like the second one. It's the radial shading. The first one looks like a marble, and I love it.

I see at least 4 logos here. The other two are:
3) Apply the radial shading to #1
4) Remove the radial shading from #2

I might prefer #3 to #1, but I can't know unless I see it.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Loving It...

Post by Benbo »

I'm loving No. 1 As Brianetta said, it looks like a marble. I like the kind of dark blue on it. I may like DaleStan's idea of No. 3, but I'd have to see it first as he said.

Also, I like the reflection on No. 1

No. 2 looks like a faded out football :lol:

I much prefer number 2.

Seems smoother, simpler, the arrows appear stronger (and the earth isn't competing visually) and I think it will scale better as well.

Also, number 2 looks more "cartoony" and as someone else said, more game like.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw it too. Definitely more suited to OTTD than the first IMHO.
