I see a snake more than a knight...
That might have been his intention since the snake became the symbol for the Knight Foundation and KI3T in the new series. I saw the same thing but thought he was trying to merge the two series.
It's a great start, but adding an ear definitely would make it look more horse-like. Maybe adding in a mane-like design to the neck would also help make it more horse-like. I understand by looking at the image that you're trying to keep it sleek and streamlined so that it fits in with modern times, so if you can somehow come up with a flowing design on those terms, you'll have something! I might also suggest you smooth out or completely edit out the small "fang" on the horse's muzzle.
These are just my opinions/critique and if you wish to disregard my commentary, by all means do so! I mean nothing negative by them, and wish you luck on this project and its final draft. As an artist myself, I know it's sometimes hard to hear what's wrong with your picture, but it can also be really awesome to hear input from others as well.
I wanna thank everyone who has commented on this. I look forward to what you all have said & suggested. Even if it's neg/pos, it helps one build more uniqueness in learning & listening to make it look presentable to those who view your work. I welcome anything anyone has to say. I thought about using this as a cover sheet to make a KNIGHT INDUSTRIES employee handbook for fun. Using material from the original KNIGHT RIDER TV Series to the present KR08 Series. Just thinking about it, not sure what may come of it.
I decided to update the lettering some & make a few adjustments.
Thanks for all the comments. Even the bad ones! No harm in your opinions!
I thought I'd add a RETRO VERSION just because I'm a KNIGHT RIDER FAN of both the series!
Well done! I myself made a new version of the Knight Logo, which is actually my profile picture now. I really like the finished version of your artwork - my only suggestion would be to center the chess piece in the image, instead of centering it over the "night" area of the word "Knight". I see the effect you're going for, and it looks good, but a bit off somehow. Perhaps instead of centering the chess piece, you could extend the top boundary of the "K" to break the line and draw more attention to the piece's centering?
Just my two cents. I really like the style of this.
Hey, where did you get that gold logo from? Do you mind if I copy it? I'd like to get that embroidered onto my car mats.
I've made it a bit simpler and black and white, reverse image. The black will end up being dark to medium brown, on tan "doeskin" mats, and put in my real KITT.
