New channel branding! (JPEG compression on YT posts is NASTY though, look out) Poor Raven Team Leader didn't get a single video published under her, I think.

Some of you may have noticed I've been experimenting with branding for this channel - I want to distinguish it as my personal channel versus my gamedev one that I want to be more "professional". I could yap on and on analyzing the old and new logo but I'll spare you guys most of it (or save the yapping for the gamedev channel when I eventually get around to redesigning that).

The bird in the profile picture is Jumbo Bun-chan, who you can find in Yakuza Kiwami - I'm thinking I might switch out with random characters every now and then, because I don't really have a set mascot, yet I want something other than letters. Bun-chan's obscure enough though and has such a FIRE design to where I can probably just keep it as is.

Overall, I think I did a good job at making things a lot bolder. There's just more energy to it. It's simpler, but in a good way, not in a modern-logo-redesign way; I tried to keep my personal ideals of having color and some sort of depth. The swirl is inspired by both the Dreamcast logo and a little tiny bit of this old Intel Pentium 4 commercial animation that I think is really cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-UlB...

Also, in case anybody has ever thought about it - the orange has no significance. I just like the fruit and the color, so I made it work. I'm not from Florida or something lol
