Here's the basic logo:

For the top pics, I was going for a snowy/compacted ice look. Modeled with a Displacement map and noise modifiers in 3dsMax. All scanline renderings. Plus some light photoshopping.

doesn't actually look like snow. looks like a displacement trying to replicate snow. i mean, your average joe could tell what you're trying to do, but it doesn't look very "real"

The materials are great as they are, IMO. Considering the subject matter, perfect photorealism doesn't seem necessary, and I was quite impressed by the style.

Neat pic. Nice work. :)

thanks, StevenR. Do you have any suggestions for how I could make this image more photorealistic?
