A couple of questions:

1) How do you make the theme? I mean I get how to make a background obviously, but how did you change the icons?

2) What are the letters on the right and on the icons?

It is pretty awesome and I am probably going to DL it. IMO it is way better then the official KZ2 theme.

Go to a theme website and download the pack. Make everything you want then just replace it. Put it on the PS3 and you're done. The letters on the right and the icons look like they are custom made - espeically the icons. Nice theme.

thanks. Yeah, the 'letters' are all custom, made to resemble the Helghast letters in game. I based them off the littlebigplanet KZ2 stickers, and varous signs in game. One thing I will say, and it might just me being "nit-picky" but the symbols with 45 degree angles on the outside turned out kinda sloppy, with sharp points... but whatever. heh. with nearly 100 icons, it'd be tedious to go back and rework them all.


On a side note, the symbol on the left, next to the "word", if you didn't notice is the sybol Colonel Radec had on him, presumably it's the "colonel" symbol. I liked Radec, so he shall live on through my work :P

You...are...awesome...

I haven't even played KZ2 yet, and I want this as my theme. To replace my Advent Children theme that I swore I'd never replace.

Hehe, I'm flattered :) thank you. It's only my first Theme, I'm sure I'll make more if this one gets popular.

EDIT: oh, another little subtle detail, I put a scan lined ISA symbol over the Triad in the top left, to symbolize the ISA in a helghast uniform duality kinda theme.

but it's pretty subtle :)

If you'll take requests, an FF Versus XIII theme with an emphasis on bluewould be sexy ;)

Well, if Vs turns out to be exclusive (keep your fingers crossed) then I'll see what I can do. and there is already an amazing GOWIII theme out there. It really is amazing... lol. someone spent a LOT of time on it.

Hmm, can't get it. I tried downloading it straight to my PS3 but that didn't work, so instead I downloaded it onto a USB stick then tried uploading it onto the PS3, but that didn't work either :cry: Am I doing something wring? O.o

Ah, I will have to check it out. I really hope FF VS XIII stays exclusive and blows me away like it could. Could potentially take my third spot (yeah i rate my games, what of it? lol :P) but I doubt it would be better to me then UC2 and MGS4. Hmmm then again FFX is the game that almost made me buy a PS2 when I had been a nintendo fanboy for too long. Anyway, we need to see more of these awesome fan made backgrounds cause they are better then most professional ones lol.

Get your USB memory stick, or other portable drive, and make a file on it called "PS3" (Case sensitive, but without the quotes), and inside that folder, make another folder, and call it "THEME" (again, case sensitive), and in that folder, put the .p3t file. Then hook it up to your PS3, and go to the themes on the XMB, and install the theme off your drive, viola!!

Or, if you downloaded it directly to your PS3, I think you should be able to go to install themes, and it *should* be there. not sure though.

Just put the theme on my ps3 and it is BA. The ONLY suggestion I have is that (dk if this is possible) I PERSONALLY would prefer some smaller/ not solid icons going vertically. They just seem to big and blocky and obstruct the view of the amazing background. In no way am I trying to sound mean, I love it a lot, I am just saying what I think. If that was "fixed" it would be even more BA then it already is :P.

Yeah, as I said, I was less than super satisfied with the way the icons turned out. I didn't think they'd be *that* big. I might go back and tweak them some, but in the mean time, the original Killzone 2 icons look good with that background as well, I think :) just to give you options :)

Good job. ;)

I'm a graphic designer and I looked up what I need to put a theme together a while back so I planned to do some, I just haven't got around to it. I have Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign but haven't gotten around to making any yet. A lot of it has to do with the fact that my computer is so old it struggles at running any of those programs. :( Seriously, I've had to wait for TEXT to render in Photoshop before. :lol:

Once I start making some, I'll post them on AllPS3Themes and link them here. I wanted to do some for specific games and movies that I haven't seen ones for. Namely Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Wanted, and Kung Fu Panda and games like both Uncharteds (Yes, I know they have themes already), The Last Guardian, Red Dead Redemption, and maybe a different Bioshock one. I know people have made themes for some of those movies / games. I'd just wanna do my own special take on them. :)

Easier? Mos def. As awesome? Not a chance. ;)

Nothing beats having a consistent design where everything matches and ties in. Designers of all types have jobs for a reason.

I actually started out with just the background. but I wanted something that kinda fit the background a little better than the killzone 2 icons. I'll spend more time on the next theme I make, but I'm the kind of person that prefers to complete one project at a time. So while I did this, I didn't sleep much, and didn't play too many games, hehe. So.. yeah. next one will be cool, but i'm going to have to pace myself :P

Can you make the backround in 1080p resolution? Because the current one doesnt fit my HDTV. Nice theme though.
