Upgrade/Project New Site Logo Workshop

[xenonph]

Actually I am surprised by how low res, the original logo images are. You had some better ones made as I recall. Might be an idea to replace the older ones with those after Halloween.

Was thinking the same thing!!
Hard to go back to the old lo-rez pic!

 

[xenonph]

Here are 2 to choose from.
The Blue Border one is the one that is exact match to old logo.



Also added Black Border one.
(Others say they like the Black Border best. I would change the "Nudging Neccessary" color to black on the Black Border one,)

 

[StevOz]

Kind of like the black one better myself, though both look good. I guess we could do a poll or rotate them every blue moon.

 

[xenonph]

Ok first we have the replica...


Now make Nudging Necessary Blue...


Now Black Border...


And with Black Nudging Necessary...


I am partial to the black border with black Nudging Necessary.
These are already resized to 1178 x 196, so they are ready ro go!

 

[StevOz]

I kind of prefer the black with red, only because the red writing renders with a softer, less pixel look on the mostly white background.

Plus that makes it look more like original logo so i agree.

 

[xenonph]

Judging from the feedback so far, I believe we have made a great decision!

 

[StevOz]

Seems so, though this means that we may need another by Xmas

 

[StevOz]

Oh I forgot you made those earlier, make it so number one... salutes

 

[xenonph]

So I will remove the Halloween logo tonight at midnight my time, if that sounds ok?
I will replace it with the black border one, the one you said you prefer.

I will fix the Halloween Logo for next year. (The hat has a bit cropped off the top, I will make it where it isn't cropped.)

Happy Halloween!

Good stuff Charles and great work on the logos and getting them up.

I think Terry wants a He-man logo, then again I think we should just keep them to calendar events.

 

[xenonph]

Agreed.
Also they should not be altered too much, to try and stick with the original logo.
Adding a hat to chickaball girl, and changing the texture on the word "Pinball Nirvana", is sufficient enough, and keeps the original logo alive.
Yes I added pumpkins where the pinballs should be, but this is only for Halloween logo. The rest should have the pinball showing. Can add things behind it, like the fireworks on the 4th of July logo, but I wouldn't stray much further away from the original logo.

 

[StevOz]

I agree with the keeping it close to the original and the pumpkins were a splendid fit.

 

[xenonph]

Ok all themes have the new black border logo.

Ok all themes have the new black border logo.

Looking good!

 

[StevOz]

If you want, you could have a go at Thanksgiving, there is the hat...

 

[xenonph]

I also downloaded pilgrim hats!!
And indian head dresses.

 

[StevOz]

Strange holiday for the Native Americans, being an Aussie, had to look it up, still your call...

The History of Thanksgiving from the Native American Perspective

Here's the history of Thanksgiving from the Native American perspective and why it's a controversial holiday for many.

Great article!
I thought the same thing,
Even the pilgrim hat may offend some.
I would go with pilgrim hat over head dress, though it would seem both might offend in same manner the same people.
Though it being native american month, maybe they would not be offended with the head dress?

I can make a few practice logos and see how they look.

 

[StevOz]

Maybe both, we have two girls...

 

[xenonph]

Ok here is what I made...
Turkey added...


Now girls with pilgrim hats.


Now girls with head dresses...(no way to keep it from going off top of logo, so it is clipped)


Now girls with pilgrim hat and head dress....


What you think?
If we get worried we can just use the turkey one with no hats. That way it only offends turkeys lol

EDIT:
Maybe I should post these in Chickaball topic to see what others think about it?
See if they are offended?

 

[StevOz]

Kind of like number 4, a bit of both, and they all look great. I was going to suggest the turkeys, you really have knocked it out of the park in my opinion.

Should I change the logo to number 4 right now?
Or wait until it gets closer to Thanksgiving?

Your call, it should be up for longer than a few days.

 

[xenonph]

I say we change it now. (But I am biased! lol)
It looks awesome!!
Stay tuned!
I can always change it back anytime.
