Hi all,

I'm doing this project where the logo has to be half covered in ice and some melt water under the logo. But I'm not satisfied with the ice and melt water.

has anybody good suggestions to give this a more icy look?

thanks

All but the most posh ice has thousands of tiny air bubbles in it, I think they're created when the water expands as it freezes, you could try that.

A reflected environment is very important and will make or break an image like this. Find a good HDR or build a good studio set up.

If it's allowed you could use colored lights. Some warm lights and some cold ones can give a nice overall mood.

Color lights would be great unfortunately the client want it to be a studio render with only black & white reflections

Here is an other one, It looks more like ice that the previous one
