Artist's Comments

After a long seach online for a decent hi-res version of the Umbrella Corporation logo from the Resident Evil series, I gave up and gave a shot at making one myself. Now it's not spectacular or flashy as I wanted a plain one to use as a base for other projects. It's not too horrible, but it made me realize that I need to brush up on my photoshop skills.



Photoshop CS2 - ~2 hours
Reference - Patch from Hot Topic

Well, after some trial and error, I ended up with this basic way to make it (mind you, I know nothing of vectors):
Section off a blank square canvas into quarters and paint 2 of them red and 2 white like a checker board.
Rotate 45 degrees
Select and Transform the top left and bottom right quarters till it has 8 of the same sized, alternating sections
Rotate it an additional 22.5 degrees to angle it right
Draw a black circle in another layer and position it over one of the 8ths til it looks good.
Duplicate the circle layer and rotate till you have all 8 sides done
for the black lines I simply cut the white segments to their own layer and give both the red segment layer and the white segment layer black Stroke until I came up with a width that I liked.

. . . Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I'm not one for making tutorials . . .

I'm not very experienced with vectors either.

In fact that was my first shot at it.

I brought up a grid on an 800 by 800 I think and at least for me the 4 sides were 3 big squares(made of 4x4 little sqares) and then the diagnols were 2 big sqares. Then connected each of the corners through the center and made a new layer and used the fill (using all layers option) to get the colors and keep my lines in tact. Then I used the elipse selection tool and used a fixed size that took trial and error to get and erased the top and bottom then changed out the dimentions on the fixed size selection tool to get the sides selected the whole thing rotated it and repeated it.


Then of course I did the reflection by duplicating and reflecting the layer.
