No external images used, except for the apple logo as a template for tracing. (5 years and 2806 days ago)
So, When i first saw this comp, i thought right on to the logos where the text forms a animal or a object. And i thought, which animal would fit for that? And a FISH was a perfect animal to do it with, so i did. (5 years and 3112 days ago)
I like the simplicity. The lack of color is kind of blah, however, which doesn't really entice me to visit the park. I also think "AQUARIUM PARK" should be a bit more prominent and I might consider adjusting its kerning to make that text as wide as the fish above it.
Wow, I've never seen that before?! I never used any picture as inspiration, and i also did ALL by myself. I'm surprised that someone else did it too, but i promise, i never seen that one before.
I realize the link does look similar to the authors entry. In Art School we had a class in lettering design (hand lettering). Using words and letters to create shapes which we called cartouches and one assignment was to create shapes to match the words. Fish was one of the easiest to do and at least a third of the class did virtually the same design (the word Love in the shape of a heart was done six times).
Intriguing, but I'm not sure I see the retro element. The text seems very contemporary so I'm guessing that's not it. Compositionally, I find the Joker mask bigger and weightier than the Batman mask which doesn't suggest an equal battle. And since I read from left to right, I interpret the Joker as more important. Text on the Batman symbol seems almost sacriligeous.

Thanks Dan. I swappeed faces, to create the logical way of thinking, like you said. And I agree, this makes more sense.
And, also, I changed the font to a more retro font.

I'm with CMYK46 on that, make the bulb base to fit, and then start applying shadows on one layer and highlights on another. Lighting is ok, but the bulb base seems a bit light to me compared to the surroundings.
