Damn. My school had gone and changed its name last year and I know nuts about it till a couple of days ago.
This post will be brief. I don't feel like saying much.
This is how my school's emblem/logo/cop mohor/magical seal/rune of awesome cosmic powerz looks like; that dinky little brown 'M' shaped thing with an egg floating above it (left).
A few days ago, I doodled a tangled, messy, "tribal" interpretation of that logo with a pencil and a black-ink pen on my sketch pad. Here's the result;
Then, I took a proper photo of it and 'cleaned' it, producing this;
After pottering about for a bit with my Photoshop, I came up with this;
I know it's crap but what d'you think about it?
Doodler,

Manipal Uni sounds cooler, but the formerly known as MAHE thingy is kinda lame.It should be something like "Founded 5379BC" or something.
Nice graffiti art, I think you should put it in this yr's MMMC mag or put it on the library's The Wall coz I saw a few drawings up there too.
I prefer the hand drawn version.
Its more artistic, and eye catching than the one drawn w photoshop.
hand drawn: looks more tribal
photoshop drawn: looks like some kind of blackstreet graffiti
I like the one done on photoshop better :D
I think it looks like some logo on the clothes that a hip hop or rapper would wear..
eh k0k, i like it ler! good job! tribal design rocks!!! you have more? cause I doodle those stuff in class as well. all over the notepads now they are gone with paper lama!
Why are your doodles so nice, while mine look like the big steaming pile of turd that they are? 0_o
I like your hand-drawn "doodle". Inverted commas because I think it looks like something that required more thought and effort beyond something scrawled out in a spare moment.
I also like it because for some unknown reason, I can't view Picture 3 and 4 =(
Techonology is out to get me I tell ya! *looks paranoid*
OK, now I CAN view your ps-ed versions.
I like it - it's got a very tribal yet surfer-ish feel ala Billabong to it =)
You should consider shooting it over to the powers-that-be of Manipal U in conjunction with MAHE being granted tertiary status.
The joint will be rockin' in no time, yo! *winks*
how did u do that ?! but i agree that the tribal version looks better than the ps-ed version - ps-ed one really does look like graffiti
if pai family is a hip hop family, they'll like that logo.
it's cool!
Ditch the stupid eggish M. Tribal ftw!
i inspired u to draw..
u've got too much free time to be messing with your uni's logo. i wouldn't even bother
ahaha. who'd expect a manipal nerd to actually have artsy skills :P
jkjk.
i think its a really nice piece. i prefer the hand sketched one tho. :P
@- kye -
They scared people don't recognize them after they change name la, haha. Putting it in the mag or on The Wall isn't really for me to decide anyway. Besides, it's just - like I said - some idle doodle.
@fuolornis
I didn't plan it to be a graffiti art at first. it just came out to look like that accidentally, haha.

Ah, I recall your name from Su Ann's comment board. Hi there.
@Innocent^^Guy
We Manipal kids are hep, dawg.
@Melly
I don't usually do tribal/tattoo art (I do sketch a lot). I can give you my deviantart account address if you like. Post up some of your doodles too, wei.
@michellesy
Did it in 40 minutes. Just decided and went for it. The photoshop bit took me a lot longer tho' (esp, the cleaning bit). Show me your doodles and I'll be the judge whether they are turds or not (I suspect you're just being your usual over-humble self)
The school authorities are sticks in petrified mud, I tell you. Remember the designated seats and dress code? They'll burn me at the stake for this blasphemy.
@bevE
It just came out, haha. About the photoshopped one, I just played around with a few artistic filter (a bit of cut out and neon glow after fiddling the colour selection to get this inversed effect).
What's wrong with graffiti? LOL
@niCk
The Pai's need to loosen up. Let's go spray paint T. M Pai's bust over at the nursing school!
@Crux
Let's stick it to The Man, yea!!!
@innshan
Eleh, wanna take credit la now. Okay-la. Yea-la. You da man, man.
@Wan Yean
We all got our little hobbies right? I doodle. You eat endangered animals.
@aya*
I damn hip, okay. Haha.
But not as hip as you la, Kak Aya - clubber extraordinaire.
Your reputation precedes you ;)
Wuah! *puppy eyes* Nice!
I like.. *think*.. I think i like.. *think again*
I cant decide which one i like better. -_- Not because I am indecisive lah! Both also look nice mah! =P
@rabbit
Haha, same thing la the two. Why rabbit got puppy eyes mia? Mutant sia!
