Bruins4Life Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Just a little something I came up with when trying to figure out what I wanted to change my background to...I couldn't figure it out so I made up this new one! I think Bruins fans should like it anyway!Enjoy!http://bruins4life.deviantart.com/art/Bewa...e-Bear-75022031Looks much better at full 1600x1200, the pavement cracks, the sign, it's all better hi-res!

josh_cat_eyes Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 THAT IS SICK!! Even though I am not a bruins fan (although I do like quite a few of their players) I have to say that this is a amazing background. Send it to the bruins and see if they will put it in their backgrounds section (although teams tend to hire people to do that...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 As a fellow Bruins fan, I must say this is outstanding! Great work Joe!The only thing I would change is get rid of the word "The", Making it "Beware of Bear."Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcgd Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 "Beware the Bear" is much much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 the B logo doesn't work as an O to me, i just always read B. other than that it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruins4Life Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 O.K. Just look at the shape of the logo in the "of" part! Don't look at the letter within the logo, don't concentrate on the B, look at the shape, it's a circle, and O is a circle, it makes perfect sense and looks fine IMO. And as far as "Beware of Bear"?? I just can't wrap my brain around it, it just sounds wrong without the "the"!Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks so! But again I appreciate the C&C!

Erik121 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Really nice man! For a Bruins fan that would be a sweet wallpaper. It'd be cool to see if you could incorporate the idea with other teams.The Oilers come to mind with the logo as the O in a sign saying "Welcome to Oil Country"Anyways, great work!

Frenchie Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 "Beware the Bear" is much much better.Gotta agree here...the shorter the slogan the better...I'd even try with Bruins' logo replacing both B'sOr at Least the "B" from the logo... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I agree with the Beware the Bear comment.I would also work a way to get some background space in there so that icons don't go over the slogan and sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruins4Life Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I agree with the Beware the Bear comment.I would also work a way to get some background space in there so that icons don't go over the slogan and sign.My icons don't...as you can see by how the background is set up, icons are meant to run along the top and the bottom... and only a few of mine go onto the sign, but still don't cover the word "crossing" or anything like that! Guess it depends on how tidy you keep your desktop though! I find a busy background lends itself towards a tidier desktop, where as a simple background could have 50 icons all over it and it wouldn't matter! And the THE is staying! Beware of Bear just sounds wrong!! lol VISIT MY HOCKEY WALLPAPERS PAGE HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I do got to say its a great concept. It works much better with "bear" because of the rhyming than "Beware the Turtle" from maryland. And if Maryland hadn't done it before, I'd think it would be a great thing for the Bruins to run with in reality. (In no way am I saying that you took the idea from Maryland. But because it came first, you'd wouldn't be able to trademark the slogan most likely)But the "Beware of the Dog" isn't a slogan really. YOu want something that rolls of the tounge, and "Beware the Bear" does that. "Of" adds an unnecessary and clumbersome word to a great slogan.Its like I always say "A dog has wiskers" Meaning, when you draw a dog, you never include wiskers, because it doesn't look right. But in reality, a dog does have wiskers. you leave them off because as an artist (or in this case, a marketer) you have the right to change reality to make it look better.Perhaps "Beware of the Bear" is correct, but "Beware the Bear" is catchier.
