Free the Mouse - CTV Logo

Description

A variation on my original idea, Unlock the Music [link]

I created a second logo because, upon returning to ClickTheVote.org, I found their mission statement had changed somewhat since last I had visited. ;)

It didn't really suprise me, and I was more than ready to try a new idea. I considered what would best symbolically represent a "digital citizen" and I felt that a mouse, the tool a user uses to reach inside their computer, would be an excellent icon for the citizens of cyberspace.

Plus I thought it would look cooler than, say, a cursor. :)

Like in my Unlock the Music logo, the shiney new key (representing the ideals of ClickTheVote) continues to unlock the rusted, old-fashioned lock (old, outdated laws and standards), freeing, in this case, the mouse.

This entire image was created in Jasc's Paint Shop Pro 7. The key is drawn from a photo, the lock is of my own design, and the mouse was created from Eyes On Design's [link] mouse tutorial (which is for Photoshop but which I managed to PSP-ize :D)

I've included several formats of this image in a .ZIP file here, including PSP, Photoshop, GIF, JPEG, TIF, BMP and PNG. Excluding this preview image, they are all on white or transparent backgrounds. There are several versions with no shadow for easier editing.

There is also a second version included in the zip that is a black and white silhouette, with white outlining all three forms, which looks great at small sizes and is very versitile.

So, to wrap things up: very representative of the issues concerning CTV, comes with a cool second version, comes in lots of formats for ease of use, and, quite frankly, I think it just looks cool.

:bulletblue: Well, first and most obvious, if you saw the original preview, is that there is a new preview image. I changed it because I got comments saying that my logo didn't look much like a logo... and I wanted to display my logo-fied varriation.

:bulletblue: Second, I added two new versions of my logo-fied version, one in Photoshop format and one in Paint Shop Pro format. This will allow for easier editing because both formats allow multi-opacity transparency.

Thanks! :)
