A special scientific event. The first described case of homosexual necrophilia in ducks remembered.

Centauroid, Eaten by Ducks

It seems that content from EBD keeps popping up elsewhere, so I tried to do something not so ripoffable.
Of course, this is internet and plagiarism is nothing new. I remember arguing with mail art folks in the 1980s about the pros and cons of copyright. The ones who never did anything beyond boring-looking collages of other peoples' work (blindfold + hedgeclippers equals "punk esthetics") were militantly against it. Sometimes I think today's technology is a bigger friend to the no-talents than the artists.

EBD logos, banners -- Opinions?

Hi All. I sent these EBD banners/logos to Luke and he suggested I post them here... any advice, suggestions, etc. about them - as well as how to integrate them into the site redesign - would be appreciated. Also, feel free to grab these and manipulate them in any way you please, distorting, recoloring, adding backgrounds, whatever. The finsished dimension of the banner are 300x600 pixels.This was a Paleo piece I snagged from the site here, just to see what the logo would look like with a contributor's art:

This is just some still from the amazing Jessica Alba film Into the Blue, with the logo on top. I like the idea of using a transparent logo over random imagery (or our own imagery -- below you'll see I used some members' stuff for backgrounds) but I'm not sure how I feel about the results now that look at it... at any rate these aren't meant to be finished, finely tuned pieces, but suggestions. Any of you guys who are more adept at Photoshop, etc. I'm sure could utilize this idea a bit more successfully -- please do!

I actually like this one quite a bit:








I like this, too:

This is another piece I grabbed from the site here, and threw the logo on top of --as you can see, "readability" is an issue with the "transparency" idea, at least as I've attempted it here.

I think this logo (below) isn't quite right... the little "hook" at the bottom left of each letter makes it a bit difficult to read -- the "E" looks like an "S" at first glance and the "D" kinda looks like a "Q".

This one is just silly. And the colored version is by no means presentable -- I'm sort of teaching myself to color with photoshop as I go along...
