And what, N-Mario, is wrong with the wooden crates?
There's nothing wrong with it per-se, as far as graphics go. It's just that it doesn't seem to fit in the style of things in the year 20XX. Just using my common sense. Unless there is something similar that is used like that in an official MM game. To be honest, I am actually expecting the factory level to be really futuristic. Also, somewhere in the BG needs to be showing a metool getting built by machines. :-/
I can't remember where I found this image, but something like this.
Originally planned to have Metto Man from MM Universe as the main villain, like Terra from MMV. Something like how he and the metools rise up against MM for tormenting their kind for years.
POST UPDATE 7/10/12Okay, so this is not my
"Best" work. But at least I tried my hands on it.
The font in the middle are different to be exact. It's really all that I could work with in such small sprite work. The 25th just comes from the games numbering fonts with added borders. So yea, it kind of imitates the original 25th logo, but to be more in the "sprite" style as I might call it.
As for the extra 'heads' above the logo, I was doing some size testing before I started on the logo's border.
