Just bought a new car, and needed a wallpaper for the ipod touch that will permanently be hooked up to the car's media system. So I made this to match my new car.
I wanted Audi's rings logo to pop out of the wood background a bit, so i used "multiply" instead of overlay after darkening the rings a tad. I think this adds a sort of three dimensional look to them. Let me know what you think, and keep in mind this is for a first gen. ipod touch, not meant for an iphone 4.

Nice. I do like the "3D" effect of the rings. (Nice car, the Audi, too.)

I need some better PS chops. And I hate the RTFM method :p but maybe I'll sit in a bookstore some lazy day and read up on a few tips.

Good call, I have a doctor friend who subscribes to a bunch of different PS mags for his waiting room, I'm gonna see if I can have some of his old ones.
 
I had to improvise these, so I hope they are all right:

Made another wallpaper for my phone, related to my car. This one is different than any wood wallpaper I've ever done though. Fabricated a brushed metal looking badge, added a drop shadow, and laid it over the wood so it looks like it's attached to the wood (rather than being painted onto the wood).

Big fan of the brushed type look on metal. Very nice, my man.

After you did the original Audi logo some posts back, I was playing around with the idea of making one using the 3D technique for my ride I purchased last year.

But since the logo is jet black (with some highlights), I wasn't having much success. And there's a different model of the vehicle, with the same basic logo, but all chrome colored (with highlights.) Not much success either.

Anyway... the GT logo in various sizes & recentered:

Very nice. The only critique I have is the centering and sizing of the logo on the background. Allow me to elaborate:
I would make the GT logo smaller, and re-center the logo so that the horses torso is centered on the background... I feel like the tail is such a small and insignificant appendage that it shouldn't have any weight on how you center the logo.
So yea, maybe try making it like 80-65% smaller (obviously find a size that you think is appropriate), and re-centering it.
Other than that... Great job. I really like the new texture you have chosen. Could you upload just the background, I may want to use that in the future.

To me, critiques are like free learning, thanks for taking the time.

I hear you: it's like a visual "center of mass" perception issue, complicated by the fact that this particular object is in motion from right to left. So that makes sizing/centering a bit more involved.

I reduced the logo 25% & 30%, and moved the torso to a more centered position, & played w/the background level... (attached to original post.)

I'm not sure where I picked it up (probably from one of those freebie Wallpaper Apps at the App Store). I have two versions w/very slightly different tile patterns (if you look closely, the positioning of the slabs don't quite match up.)

One light version, and the other very dark:

Wood Wallpaper Request - Justin

Hey everyone,

Is there someone who could possibly make me a wood wallpaper for my iPhone 4 with a "Justin" logo? Preferably, something like this but without the "boots" in it and the circle where boots is closed in. I wouldn't even mind of variation of this logo if someone didn't want to use this exact one. As for colors, maybe red where the white is, a gold color where the black is, and then a royal blue J?

I got the gold and royal blue color ideas from Draac's Color Chart.

If someone didn't feel comfortable changing the colors or using those specific colors, I'd be find with the way the colors are now or a variation.

Thanks in advance. :)

I get what you are saying. I think I do prefer the first one. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
 
:) Would you want to maybe do one where the yellow is lighter blue and the red is white? And then perhaps do a darker purple J? I only ask because I really like what you've done and would love to be able to alternate.
 
Current Bucks logo?

Any chance you can do one for the current Milwaukee Bucks logo? The one in the NBA section above is 4 years old and their old colors. Here are some of the new logo and also one retro. Also, can you post the background that you end up using? It would be great to switch to that as the background to the buttons on an iphone (have the logo drop out). Many thanks!

Needed to get a new monitor, haven't calibrated colors yet... so I'm not sure what will show up on your screen. (Original background is attached to post 635 in this thread.)

My stab at them:
