I do know that there are already made pilots for the game, including art concepts, when I said that I would just like to draw scetches Of Those pilots in my artstyle. I forgot to say: to see those already made art concepts and just redo them in a more realistic style. I'm not saying I wanted to make up the appearances of those pilots.
so what I meant was, if released, I would like to see the finished art concepts of those pilots and just scetch my own versions of them in a realistic artstyle in my own freetime. If you seen my fanmade pilot concepts for WipEout HD, then you know what I mean.

Synergy, do you have the link to those Fanmade concepts? I'm curious about it now =)

Alright my next concept logo is not really a sponsor, but just an advertisement. It's called Avalon Plaza, and I envisioned it to be the plaza at the Cassandra track that lies on the straightaway just before the Civic Center turn, the plaza that is included soon after Hellfire finishes his track description in the starting video. I named it and envisioned some billboards for it right around the area at Cassandra where it is, and I added some backgrounds to the logos as well. Enjoy!

The first, long layout can also be used with all the backgrounds, but I didn't want to include that many pictures.

definitely not the black.
The yellow works, red not so much
Dark blue works as well and light blue is okay
my 2 cents ;-)

Thanks for the feedback, I think the red and maybe the dark blue font colors need to be altered a little, some work for later. :) The black's not my favorite either, as it kind of takes away from the color scheme, but it could work for night races, I'd have to see how it looked, that's really the determining factor for all of them. I think the light blue might work the best in all modes, night and day.
In the meantime:

I thought maybe this could be an animated sign scrolling along the grandstands at Cassandra or maybe some other track, kind of like the animated WipEoutZone signs at DC. Speaking of volume, we need more crowd noise in this game, I wanna hear 'em roar! ;)
-
How do you manage to pop out so many designs so quickly? :O
Also, the best ones imo: light blue one and the red one. The yellow one works too.

I really would have to see where they were placed to choose my favorite color. Maybe create a signage tower? On the topic of quick design production, I guess I just have a lot of extra time, and on the Avalon Plaza one, really all I did was change background and font color after I designed it in the first place.
Edit: PogoBox on DeviantArt kindly let me use his awesome Monsoon logo in a sponsor idea, so the credit here goes to him, and here it is: Monsoon Particle Shielding.
Attachment 8033
Monsoon Particle Shielding was formed in the mid-2170s during the outbreaks of war following the fall of AG racing. They worked in secret to develop particle shielding technologies for contracted governments, and were compensated handsomely, allowing them to grow from a small coalition into a small, but fully functioning company. Monsoon still works under contract to develop shielding system for certain militaries, and also helped develop the shielding systems for many teams of the ARC-150. Finally, prior to the official start of the league, they developed the protoype Atom pickup, which was warmly accepted officially into the league. Monsoon now sponsors the ARC-150 as it continues to evolve and develop new technologies for the future of mankind. Monsoon's shields are known to be extremely reliable, hence their slogan, "Bring the Rain."

I'm back to revive this thread again! Here is what I believe is one of my best ideas yet as far as style goes: Tetragon Smart Missile Systems.
Attachment 8121 Attachment 8120 Attachment 8119 Attachment 8117 Attachment 8118 Attachment 8122
Contrary to common belief, the SMS acronym actually stands for Smart Missile Systems, not just Systems itself. Tetragon SMS is a small but rising weapons company that will accept a contract from whoever will pay. They have recently developed the most advanced smart missile system in the world, which is why they have seen recent and rapid growth, and have the extra funds to become an ARC-150 sponsor. The company itself is based out of Russia, and some opponents say that what remained of the old criminal syndicate that ruled the country actually formed the company, but it is unclear whether this statement is true. It is clear that they have strong ties with CEN-R, and have developed and perfected the smart missile that will be used in the ARC-150. A mysterious and rising company with an interest in weapons on racing is here to take the stage in the rebirth of AG racing.
Sidenote: My last picture was just an optional overlay idea on the missile tracker, since the company develops the ARC-150 missiles on the side, it would make sense for there to be a slight recognition there. I've always been surprised that the weapons companies didn't advertise more on the WipEout games, especially the missiles, in which an overlay is so easy. This was just my idea of something that would be unique and cool, but if you don't like it, that's fine. Also, I know the scorpion is a little bit pixelated, but I can't seem to fix that. :P Also, the third picture could be a running linear animated billboard, like the WOZ one on DC.
Anyway, enjoy! :D
P.S. Have a look at that Monsoon logo ^^^ PogoBox did some really nice work there. :)
-
I really like both ideas there. Monsoon logo is just cool and unique. It fits perfect, a stylized text AND a symbol to identify the sponsor [I think lots of our sponsors lack of the latter].
The Tetragon is also a great idea. What I like most is the story behind it. And you are right, why not giving big sponsors some sort of story? It could be placed into a wiki or on the website or somewhere. Very well done. I hope other ppl from the team see this aswell.
For the logo itself. Maybe having a standalone scorpion version would also be cool [since we can bring several styles of one sponsor into the game]. But that requires an update in the resolution of that thing. Would be cool if you could try it one more time. If not, maybe dreadofmondays can help you out since he did such resolution-friendly upscaling with a few of our sponsors aswell.
For the ingame crosshair idea. It is also cool I think. But your current version has waaaay too much stuff. If we do this, I'd go for one single line "TETRAGON" above the horizontal line on the right of the crosshair. And smaller font aswell. Since this crosshair does not shake or anything, the text doesn't need to be big and bright for being readable. Just a tiny little mark on the right. U think you can do this aswell? Then we can check out how it looks and feels :)
BTW: Who threw that Magnet onto the roof of the house on the right? :D :D
EDIT: The Missile tracker will receive a complete overwork as I found out just now and guess the other guys don't want to have any text on it. Further on every prototype ship [and guess also normal ship] receives it's own Missile manufacturer. So, I'm sorry but seems like this idea is going to be dropped...
-
Well, is it possible that this could be the missile manufacturer of one of the ships? If not I understand, I could always change what the company does and keep the logos, if that would work. Since it is Russian, it could be CEN-R's missile, and still keep a backstory connection. I dunno about the magnet, those things can end up anywhere when ships fly by them! :P
