I like it. But the first thought was ‘Tree of Gondor’, then ‘Jägermeister’ ;-)

Yeah, Avatar had a tree in the story, and papyrus font for the name. Too much similarity.
But i’v hardly seen one movie of Lotr, so if theres something it doesnt bother me personally at all :)

I liked the version of tree logo, that was similar to a hieroglyph… or a mushroom, or a jellyfish :D
but dont remember the text under it, was it any good or not.
And hieroglyphs may make resemblence to other movies so…

I think if its made Sintel style (put on the brown background and colored dark brown), like someone else has done in the competition, then it looks pretty good, but so does any other logo presented that way.

@Christian Storay

I’m sorry but when I first saw the submissions the first thing that came to my mind on that one was:
“Ummmm, nice and clean but didn’t LotR have something similar?” A simple google search was enough to verify it that some LotR fans have even got tattoos of quite a similar design.

hmmm, the kerning is way off, other than that, the type is ok, but would have gone with a stronger typeface, and transfered the characteristics from the chosen type on to the stronger type. Other than that again, i love how you did the rough edgy thing.

‘Get over yourselves’. Hmmm. where have I heard that before. There are several separate issues on the go. 1) Yes, the production team do have the final say on these sorts of things, which is quite right, and that final say is quite separate to any opinions posted on this or any other forum. Nothing would ever get done otherwise, so that is sensible. 2) The final submission was posted on this and another open forum, therefore inviting comments as a separate process, the team’s way of involving the community. As we are all adults on this, and thus possess our own opinions, not all those opinions will concur, and it is normal and healthy to expect a range of views on any one subject. I’m no fan of flaming or trolling, but a creative forum should tolerate a little dissension otherwise it all ends up as a back-slapping parade which never helps any creative venture. 3) As Blender is taking important steps right into the heartland of professional imaging software, and each production sets higher and higher standards, constructive critical judgement from the community is essential.

Get over yourselves. The logo looks great, as did many other submissions. Congrats Nick, don’t let crits get you down, I think it works. It’s wrong for us to crit anyway, we are not involved in production and can not visualize how it will tie into sequences.
