Hi all! well, I'm sure some of you are familiar with a new Egyptian team thats sprouted up recently. Now, I'm going to attempt to make a couple skins and I was gonna make a couple logos. I had the idea of using Anubis and Horus to be part of the logos. I found a good Anubis pic but couldn't find a similair one of Horus Here is the one Anubis one: So if someone could find something thats black and white like the Anubis one and thats hi res, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! NOTE: Horus is the guy with the eagle for a head.

There are plenty of images available on Google, but perhaps the eye of Ra (also known as the eye of Horus) would be a better symbol for the team? It would be easy to fit anywhere in a design.

I'd have to agree; Anubis and Horus would be... difficult, to incorporate into a design. The eye of Horus would look pretty cool I think.

I made an XRT based on Anubis about two years ago but never released it. The artwork took a long time and I was happy with it, but as a car design it just didn't seem to work. It turned out to be the biggest waste of time for any skin that I have attempted. That's not to say that someone else won't do much better, but I found it difficult to make Anubis stand out without cutting him in half, which ruined the whole image of him standing up in the first place. I thought he'd look good on the bonnet too, but he didn't. I tried to use colours similar to that found on many Egyptian bas relief murals: golds, blues and sandy browns. The colours worked well and were unique for a car livery, but as I say, the design just didn't gel at all.

well, I'm not going to use their full figure, perhaps from the upper arm up. The idea is to have Horus and Anubis standing beside each other with Anubis in the back and is slightly ahead of Horus so that you can see both. I can picture it perfect in my head but I just need a good black and white pic like the Anubis one for Horus.
I was thinking of using the Eye of Horus on the bonnet. I'll work away with what I have now and keep on looking for a picture of Horus.

I found this very cool Eye of Horus tattoo you might find interesting. Just to spice things up a bit. www.jail.se/pictures/2006/jaernvaegs_yellow_mike_band/24_eye_of_horus_tattoo.jpgOn the Anubis/Horus thing I'd say stick with one of them and only the head. I'd say Anubis and vamp up his head in a similar style as that tattoo if you can. It would create a great logo design if you ask me and really spice things up if it filled the whole side of a car and the Eye on the bonnet. If you don't do it I'll certainly give it a go some time.
