C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
OK, I have a few logos here for sale. I need to make some room and some of my logos have to go. The first one up is a Half Life 2 logo: Logo size is: 8 inches tall x 9 1/2 inches wide x 1/2 inch thick. Price is: $35.00 US + shipping.
Next is a Generals supersize GLA logo. Dimensions are: 20 inches tall x 24 inches wide x 1 inch thick. Price is: $100.00 US + shipping.
This one is not completely finished being painted, but will be soon. It is a supersized China logo. Dimensions are: 20 inches tall x 21 inches wide x 1 inch thick. Price is: $100.00 US + shipping.
This one will also soon be finished. It is the USA supersize logo. Dimensions are: 30 inches tall x 28 inches wide x 2 inches thick. Price is: $100.00 US + shipping.
NeoX a Lil' pricey eh? But they look good. That's hard work. And if you noticed, anything made out of wood costs A LOT. It's not over priced, it's worth the value.
icedog90 NeoX a Lil' pricey eh? But they look good. That's hard work. And if you noticed, anything made out of wood costs A LOT. It's not over priced, it's worth the value. Not wood, it's a plastic or something close to that
NeoX Wood doesn't cost that much, at least here in canada. You don't get what I'm talking about. When someone makes something good out of it (for one thing, it's really hard work) then its value has increased greatly.
I also have other logos in various stages of completion. Some folks wanted them, but never paid for them so no logo for them. Their loss is your gain! Let me know what you're looking for and I may have it! This one is close to completion and needs paint. Dimensions are: 8 inches tall x 18 inches wide x 1/4 inch tall. Price is: $75.00 US + shipping.
NeoX Wood doesn't cost that much, at least here in canada. If that were the case, why doesn't a wooden piece of furniture only cost about what the wood would cost? Maybe it's because not everyone can make something out of that cheap wood. What you are really paying for is the craftsmanship of the item, not the cost of the wood. **** If you are interested any of these logos or have a different one in mind, let me know via PM, find me on IRC in the #n00bstories channel, or even AIM @ JeffLee67. ****
Ice, Neo doesn't understand the concept of Supply and Demand, nor the idea of how labor affects a price. Neo, labor costs money. Labor isn't free.
As I always say: Someday... I'll buy one.
How Much do you charge for custom made ones?
Can I actually reserve the Half Life 2 logo?
NeoX Im not saying that we should only have to pla for how much the supplies cost but I think thats way to much money for a piece of wood the supplies prolly cost like 5$ Id sell them for like 50$ for the complex ones. You still don't get it.
icedog90 NeoX Im not saying that we should only have to pla for how much the supplies cost but I think thats way to much money for a piece of wood the supplies prolly cost like 5$ Id sell them for like 50$ for the complex ones. You still don't get it. He truly doesn't. That's the sad thing, too. It's an extremely concept to grasp, yet he falls short. Surprise, surprise.
Here's an analogy: If you have a car and it is having engine problems, you take it to a mechanic and he finds that it needs a new head gasket he doesn't charge you $10.00 for a new head gasket and send you on your way does he? No, he has to charge you for his time to take out the old one and put in a new one. Same basic principle. A piece of wood may only be a couple of dollars, but how many people can cut it, carve it, sand it, and paint it to look exactly like the two dimensional object it is on some website or game box?
NeoX Im not saying that we should only have to pla for how much the supplies cost but I think thats way to much money for a piece of wood the supplies prolly cost like 5$ Id sell them for like 50$ for the complex ones. And that is your opinion, and you're welcome to it. I suggest you give it a try and after spending countless hours cutting, carving, sanding, and painting it, you tell me how much you think your effort was worth to make the item for someone else. I am not a factory, this stuff doesn't roll off of some assembly line, I make it all by hand. Time is money.
Neo, you do realize that he IS selling the HL2 one for $35. You should try reading for once.
NeoX Fuck you Icedog90. I know how it works but I think the labour is way to much for some of the pieces. For example the Half-Life 2 logo is very simple it should be like $30-35. Then for ones like Halo it should be $75. Um, yeah, if you weren't so fucking naive you'd notice that the Halo logo IS $75 and the HL2 logo IS $35.
_TFWxANDY_ How Much do you charge for custom made ones? Send me a PM on what you're looking for, and what size.
I was walking around Times Square (New York pwns) with some friends a couple of days ago and I saw a framed picture. It was about 36 in. by 36 in. It was a really cool "map" of manhattan with parts of queens, brooklyn, and the bronx. On the side it said it took about 2,000 pencils, and four years to finish. If it was to be sold, do you think $200 or less (approximate price of materials) is a fair price for it? I don't.
Aprime Can I actually reserve the Half Life 2 logo? Reserve it for how long?
Still doesn't change the fact that you can't read worth shit.
NeoX I know he is but the ones that are large and not complexed for $100 seem like a rip. You should come to the conclusion that it's obvious more complex ones that required more work WILL cost more money.
Then how come you missed a few important keys of some posts?
NeoX I DO READ YOU FUCKING HOMO! Apparently not well. I mean, c'mon, RIGHT underneath the pictures it CLEARLY stated that they are being sold for EXACTLY what you "thought" they should be. prox, no, that thing should be more than $200.
That was exactly my point, and the post was directed to Neo
You can't even spell your own country's name right.
Since when has Canadian money been worth CONSIDERABLY less than the American Dollar? It's less, but your $30-35 isn't much less than USD $30-35, plus, how the fuck are we supposed to remember that you're Canadian? Do you really think that we really care to know where you're from?
NeoX Read my previous post, and yes I do understand that its hand made so yes it is worth alot more. Edit -------------- I know he is but the ones that are large and not complexed for $100 seem like a rip. And that's your opinion once again. No problem, you don't have to buy any of them. I'm not making anyone buy any of them. If you think they are overpriced then that's fine with me, I know they will sell. You can ask any of the people who have some of my logos, for instance, Blazer0X, Crimson, Jarhead57, TryLee, AuroraX0, MsgtPain, PodKilr, IBRambo, L3f7h4nd3d, Aircraftkiller, Slash0X, Founder of YASA, DaveGMM, DJLaptop, and whoever else I forgot.
This one is done and ready to be sold too. Dimensions are: 20 inches tall x 24 inches wide x 3 1/2 inches thick. Price is: $100.00 US + shipping (should be more because it took forever to carve the scorpion tail)
As you can see, it's very 3 dimensional:
JeffLee67 Aprime Can I actually reserve the Half Life 2 logo? Reserve it for how long? Until Christmas.
I need to have a logo, but I don't see the point in having a gaming one. Jeff, you're willing to carve one by request right?
NeoX, how much would you figure this is worth? It is 14 inches tall and about 6 inches x 5 inches at the base? P.S. I already sold it, just wondering what you think I should have asked for it.
Aprime JeffLee67 Aprime Can I actually reserve the Half Life 2 logo? Reserve it for how long? Until Christmas. I'll make an extra one and hold it for you. Just let me know when you want it delivered.
I'd say like $150-200 at least. Jeff, you any good with electricity? If you are, then why not make one with working doors. That shouldn't add too much more to the cost and labor, but you could easily double the cost.
j_ball430 I need to have a logo, but I don't see the point in having a gaming one. Jeff, you're willing to carve one by request right? Yes. Just PM me. Or get me on AIM @ JeffLee67

I could have put an LED that lit up the crystal and made the door open and put the sounds in it too, but I chose not to because it was a lot of work.
NeoX , shut up , you will never win, no matter what you do , you need to pay attention to detail and understand something from all sides before you go and try to defend it. Also you don't have to buy these, i don't see why you are so affected with this , all of his work is extrmely 1337 and deserves credit/money. Infact it probably took you a shorter amount of time to spam your way to your current post count than for him to finish one of those logos. Btw: damn i like that NOD logo one , nice background paint , and when i saw that oby i thought it was an ingame model , very nice.

Well, for those interested I own five(5) items made by Jeff and they were worth every dime I payed. PS: Too late to raise the OB price Jeff......sure looks good on my desk alongside the AGT...
LOL, thanks Jarhead. Didn't know you still frequent these parts! See ya on the Pits!
Not a day goes by when I don't look over my desk onto the wall behind it and watch in awe as the 9" China logo does... well, whatever a logo does on my wall. I remember the day the box game, I literally grabbed it from the postman and openened it on the doorstep, turns out he was a Generals player as well and admired the logo greatly. As anyone in that long, long list of Jeff's will tell you, you simply cannot take in how goddamn great these logos are until you hold it in your hands. Worth every penney.
How much are smaller ones? Say, a five inch Nod logo? What about a five inch HL2?
Would you be able to do the Maxis Logo?
Your work is just incredible Jeff--anyone who buys one of his pieces will surely be very satisfied. :thumbsup: I know I would be...
that halo one would look nice when its finished.. the detail is already great
I want one so bad but its far out of my price range
Meh, I shouldn't have gotten a new cell phone...
I'm getting a Ford Mustang emblem like: http://www.mustangsplus.com/images/00225lg.jpg It's gonna be awesome.
Im getting a new car altogether. And how do you post images from Adobe Photoshop? for a coming home present, my dads' the one holding the with photo in the picture.

NOBODY HIJACKS JEFFLEE'S TOPICS, NOBODY.
Jefflee, you should try making an entire Nod/GDI base. You could bid it off for a quite high price I would think.
Well, I made an Obelisk and an AGT, does that count?
Not unless theres a map which is called C&C_AGTvsOBI.mix
Hey JeffLee67, May I ask which sort of wood you use? And what sort of machinery/tools do you use? Because I don't think these logo's are 100% hand made. I mean, Like the scorpion in the nod logo. But on the other side, There are no machines which can produce that. At least not with the machines and tools where I've worked with. But your work Looks kick ass. Very impressive.
Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean. All of the 3 dimensional parts, like the scorpion tail, are cut out with a jigsaw, or sometimes my scroll saw. That just gives me the outside shape and then I use carving chisels to rough out the 3D shape. Then it is sanded till it is smooth and then is painted. What is not hand made about that? Sure I use some power tools to do some of it, like the bevels on the frames and a router on the low relief areas, but I don't use a CNC machine or something like that to do any of the work. All the routing I do is freehand. As for wood, I've used Pine, Basswood, Oak, Walnut, but Poplar is my favorite. That's because it is cheap, but has really closed grain and takes carving detail well. I do use MDF on some of the logos which makes them pretty heavy, but I only use it because it carves well, and unlike wood, it doesn't warp, shrink, expand, or split. I could just as easily make any of the logos out of solid wood, but I want them to last forever.
yes, I see it now. But I mean the shapes of the scorpion tail. I had no idea how you could make that. But I see it now. Very great work. I din't see that you used MDF. I'm dutch, So sorry if I was a bit unclear. Since my english is my second language. And for the painting, How did you actualy did that? With hammerrite paint? Or what sort of paint do you use. Again, very impressive work

Dan Jefflee, you should try making an entire Nod/GDI base. You could bid it off for a quite high price I would think. That would be awesome but in stead og making them all like 10 inches tall they could 5 -7 inches high.
He could always re-create a WW map
wow these are amazing how much would one of the obelisks cost just out of curiosity
oxi wow these are amazing how much would one of the obelisks cost just out of curiosity $200.00 US
I bet some of the guys at Petroglyph would love a small scale recreation of C&C_Feild .
ya, the creators of C&C would really apreciate something like that.
Doitle /\ Doitle's Ghetto Cruiser Nice rims.
hmmm instead of some people playing with train sets.. we could play with Renegade sets.. in a little base with tanks infantry.. base defense would be sweet ^_^
How about this for an update? It's not done yet, but it is really getting close. Have to do some more airbrushing and make the letters silver and it will be done! Enjoy:
Although you can't see it very good, even in this close-up, I assure you that every line, circle, scratch, and bullet hole is right where it is supposed to be. Take a look:

Jeff, you 0wn! its official!
Can we get a picture of the original and yours side by side? I'm too lazy to just photoshop it.
Your sinature might work with: ]www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1212370822&.jpg try that out and @JeffLee67 you should check your PM
No, he just needs to add http:// before it.
yeah thats easy to make, we learned how to do that in art 4. EDIT: Not saying that its not time consuming and expensive.
Easy? I'd sure like to see how that's easy to make.
well you realy kinda have to take the class, but it envolves a grid system. And if your really luck a plasma cutter.
OK, the original logo: And mine, so far: Just a bit more airbrushing, some white to bring out the lines, bevel the letters, and some silver on the letters and it'll be done.
