Some J2M loading logos
 

I have originally designed these various images to act like loader splash screen graphics for my Jazz 2 Mutation (a.k.a. J2M/Console). Since the whole project kind of died a while ago, I thought I'd share these images with the community. They were made by using Photoshop CS and Flash 8.

Here's the very first skinned GUI:

For what it's worth, #3 and #4 are really nice :) Did you use a font for those, or did you make that J2M text manually in PS?

I really like #1 and #3.

I used a font, cooba.

Which one, if I may ask?

pfft, how do you make such pretty shaped forms using VB?

There was some SkinForm code that I used. Its basically a rectangular picture with a given background color. It uses CreateRectRgn and CombineRgn API calls to cut out the background and shape the form.
