Upgrade/Project New Site Logo Workshop

[xenonph]

Ok what about Spring Sunshine?

 

[StevOz]

I am not a saint, but there is no way in hell, pardon the pun, that I am turning that cross upside down.
I am working on replacement that all can enjoy, and not feel left out because of their personal beliefs.

Stay tuned.

Frankly I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with the cross, and it looks great, it's an appropriate religious symbol celebrating a religious holiday and that is my firm belief, to me people who think otherwise are at best delusional.

Also, great on saying no, although you need not go all the way to hell to do it @xenonph, it's great to see you stand by your beliefs.

I think I made my point and a thousand pictures would not equal my words, I believe.

Just made the "New Site Logo Workshop" thread sticky, just because I can.

Thanks!
What do you think of the sunshine replacement above?

 

[StevOz]

What do you think of the sunshine replacement above?

Not as good as the cross.

 

[StevOz]

Actually that sun to me sends the wrong message, it suggests to me some fringe group celebration of Easter, not that there's anything wrong with that, though that's not what the holiday is really about.

What about sun behind cross?

The cross is a little less noticable?
Actually I can still see it pretty good.

It's usually snowing here on Easter but it could also be sunny!

Feel free to use the cross if you guys want to!

You have more chance of winning the lotto, everyone has different personal beliefs, and they are only known to that person, that's the only truth about beliefs.

I am running low on words and I only just got out of bed, so I will use someone else's words.

So I say we go with the cross and then @xenonph can get back to eating hot cross buns, what do you think Charles?

*edit @JonPurpleHaze It was not a matter of want, it was merely a matter of what was artistically the best fit for the holiday, without fear, favour or prejudice.

 

[StevOz]

Late edit in the above post for @JonPurpleHaze, damn forgot again just as I pressed post!

Feel free to change that emo Charles I know you posted it before my edit.

 

[StevOz]

Now we have finalised the Easter Logo, who would have thought Easter would involve such controversy with Eggs, Chocolate Bunnies, Cows and Crosses.

So I haven't looked it up, but if you have finished those hot cross buns...

What is our next Holiday victim @xenonph ?

I am actually kind of embarrassed that I didn't fight to keep the cross on the logo, as much as you StevOz.
I will have to answer for it to the big man upstairs eventually.
I am wary of people thinking I am pushing my religion on them, so I try to not to make anyone feel uncomfortable because of my personal beliefs.
Same with politics. I usually get along with everyone regardless of their beliefs or political views.

When I made the different size crosses, that is why I said the tiny one on Pinball Nirvana word looked best, as I didn't think you would want a huge cross in middle of logo. When you chose the biggest cross, I actually felt like I was not pushing this on you, because you chose the cross!
I even added the generic logo and said I liked the plain jane version without cross, or grass at bottom, just to be sure it was not me pushing this cross on you.

You stood up for the cross, and for my personal beliefs!
For that I say thank you kind sir!

Not a problem, would do it anytime for you, though don't expect me in Church anytime soon...

Well we already have Presidents Day logo completed for the 19th of this month.
Next up is Cinco De Mayo! May 5th.
I already have sombreros ready for chickaball girls!
I was going to make a Star Wars themed one where the girls have lightsabers for May the 4th (be with you), but may pass on that one.

 

[StevOz]

Cinco de Mayo marks the anniversary of the 1862 victory by Mexican troops over invading French forces at the Battle of Puebla. The triumph over the better equipped and more numerous French troops was an enormous emotional boost for the Mexican soldiers led by Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza.

Had to look it up, I knew nothing about this holiday, though the celebrations look like fun. The great shame is it takes a war to create a once a year holiday.

Yeah the French may not like this holiday either.
Like you said, you can't please everyone all of the time.

 

[xenonph]

oops.... I missed St Patricks Day on March 17!
Easter is on March 31st this year!

EDIT:
Oh I already worked on St Patricks Day logo... (Great start!)


You can see how old this is, as it has the shadow cut off on the A in Nirvana!

 

[StevOz]

Good catch Charles, we don't want to upset the Irish!

 

[StevOz]

I suppose we could start with an upsized logo to see if we can upload it and have the forum software render it.

My thoughts exactly!
The only problem that I can see coming, is the paper background, and the word Pinball Nirvana will need to upscaled.
Well that is the only thing I am not capable of, is making that Pinball Nirvana word, have the gradient blue, and gradient transparency inside the borders of that word. That is why I had my friend HiRez00 do that part.
I can do the borders, and shadows on that word, but not the gradient stuff inside. (I have not learned how to do this YET!)

 

[StevOz]

About the styles, I think all of them have updates available but I wanted to mention that only Admins can see the (Original) ones and they are the ones that were original uploads without any edits to easily restore them if something goes haywire. They don't include any past edits, I don't think there are many edits but they shouldn't be used. ie: Shades of Gray should be used vs. Shades of Gray (Original).

Wow, I totally missed this post by Jon, just changed my theme to the default Shades of Grey.

Also means I only have to upload logo to the ones that don't say Original!
Saves a little time.

Won't need that for this one if we keep the green texture.

 

[xenonph]

Check this out!
I just used an AI Upscaler online, and made it 4x size!! It is 4800x800!!

This solves that problem of the insides of Pinball Nirvana word, and the paper background!!

Stay tuned for upscaled original logo!
