So... new logo?

[Samanna]

Zaviax submitted a more realistic take on the three-weapon logo I came up with, and I put it in place last night to see how it looks.

Comments?

[Brohg]

I like it a lot

OoW epic should maybe have the yellow sparklies and bright eyes

[Tidykat]

Forgive me.. but where's it at? I would assume it's in your post but eh... it's not showing up in Firefox..
[edit]
Doesn't showin this post in IE for me either.. that's strange..

[Tordail]

Yeah, I'm not seeing anything different either. Using Safari on a Mac ATM, Firefox at home.

[Brohg]

Top left corner of every page, guys. Perhaps clear cache?

[Zaviax]

Perhaps you guys are in the subsilver theme? May have to switch to ezSerenity to see it.

Unfortunately when I was working on it I had subsilver in mind where the logo and the area for it is bigger, so for the serenity skin I had to shrink it quite a bit.

[Tordail]

Nope, I'm in Serenity, and cache is clear. Just doesn't look any different than it did yesterday. :/ Perhaps I will try again at home.

[Samanna]

Odd. Image is at ... oops, overwrote it, sorry.

Prior version was http://crucible.samanna.net/templates/e ... wlight.jpg

I can see it fine with IE 6.x, but I am colorblind, so I should be the last person to comment on the design

[Scowls]

nice work, i like it, much more refined and detailed than original

.png should work, as that is a placed image, not a cell background.

http://samanna.net/2pix/god.png is a .png

[taraddar]

Unfortunately because IE doesn't support them well png files are pretty much worthless. The only way they will reliably work is as a png -8 which is basically just a gif file with a different extension. That also means transparency is a really bad idea. indexed transparency looks horrible unless you can set your matte color which you couldn't do with the type of background you have and different themes for the boards.

I like the weapon graphics, but overall I like the old one better. Perhaps if the purple was turned down or the graphic was otherwise colored to match the rest of the site color scheme it would be better.

[ThraallFV]

so i was reading this thread and had no clue if i had the new one or not.... so i went to and hit the refresh button instead of just clicking links like i normaly do and i got a brand new logo.

I like the artwork but i agree the purple oval is very overpowering

[Zaviax]

Thanks all a lot for the feedback.

Anyway, I think many here agree. Purple = bad. In fact personaly I don't like the oval at all. I thought it'd work but after toying quickly with no background at all I think we could do without it.

Anyway, here's an idea with the site name added in on the side. (Doesn't neccesarly have to be the font I chosen)



I'm not too fond of the fire effect on the TA though. I'd likely have to find something else to use. The ring on the 1.0 is very faint with that background though. Still it's kinda nice and settle.

I also did another one without the name and increased the size of the logo. This one I kept the fire out of the TA though.




Also, just wanted to add in the orginal logo in it's size I worked with with the black background to show ya's what I mean by it really does need a black background to get the best effect. However I'm just not sure if there's a way to work it in and make it look like it fits.



(oops, accidentally mirror image that one, in case you're wondering why the weapons are on opposite sides )

[Samanna]

Got that first new one in place now, I like that more.

[Tordail]

Now I see it! Damn good work.

[Gmork]

mmm them are purdy especially the dark one

[ThraallFV]

/cheer (as only an eq dork can say)

[Aruman]

Very nice logo without the purple.

Goes well with the background.

Maybe adjust the flames of the TA, it's a bit 'thick'.

[Kheera]

Nice, Zaviax!

I'm sad though, I like the subSilver and that's only showing the old graphic =/

[Tidykat]

[Zaviax]

Thanks all.

I whipped a couple on white backgrounds here so they can be used for those cards and for the subsilver theme.

[Brohg]

With a white background, the logo should be presented in front of a sheild, or with a burst of color behind them
