Forum:SNN New Logo 2012

SINCE YOU WANTED TO BE MOVED TO FORUM-SPACE,I DID NOW.

I discussed with 58SlugDrones about the new SNN logo we should have. Here's the logo I was planning to make.

How do you think? Say what you think below.
 * 1) The Official Logo
 * 2) The logo used on the logo banner. (Up there. Near the wikia logo)
 * 3) An horizontal logo.
 * 4) The Official logo, with the NEWS part red.

None of them are an improvement from what we have now. -- 00:38, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

What about now, Bullet?

Better... I'll do one of my own tomorrow. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 04:07, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

I like the 3rd one. And just incase if there is a little misunderstanding, I did not commission these nor did I have the idea for changing the logo. SonicDude just asked me and told him to go ahead and show them to the community.

@Bullet: They look stylish. I am not sure what you mean by "improvement".--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 15:14, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Really, I'm been wondering that the logo we have now somewhat orange-yellow-ish. This is a Sonic Wiki,right?  SonicTheHedgehogDude  talk    contribs    blog   15:24, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Your latest incarnation (#5) looks spectacular, much better than the previous candidates I have to admit. That's where my vote currently stands, but maybe a little bit more outlining and a slight "3D" touch could be added to the current logo to look a little fancier. Feel free to disagree on the "3D" part. Serious  Sam   Heavy 15:31, December 16, 2011 (UTC)Sacorguy79

I agree. Let me show mine I just did:



Click on it for higher quality and such. It's a big picture.

--Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 16:47, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

That's great, Rainbow. But I think a a bit of yellow outlining should be used around the letters, considering it's one of the primary styles in Sonic logos. Excellent job all around. Serious  Sam   Heavy 16:50, December 16, 2011 (UTC)Sacorguy79

Awesome! I'm working on a more classic one right now... --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 17:23, December 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I don't think we need a new logo and I think our current logo is better than any of the new ones on offer (sorry to everyone who put in effort to make them!). Also keep in mind that the logo must be 250 by 65 pixels or smaller. -- Supermorff 17:31, December 16, 2011 (UTC)



That's the more classic type. And I can make them 250px or smaller if you want them that way, Supermorff. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 17:43, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think we can go with Rainbows new design. Serious   Sam  [[File:Minigun icon.png]] Heavy 17:53, December 16, 2011 (UTC)Sacorguy79

I would pritty much go with RR's design,though I did create some backgrounds for the wiki.



 SonicTheHedgehogDude  talk    contribs    blog   18:02, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Truthfully, that background is pretty good, but I think the Sonic Team Sonic emblem (or in other words, the classic Sonic one we have) is better. And not trying to be arrogant or anything, but after making mine, I'm going for those. Lol. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 18:10, December 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I like that background a lot. Rainbow's logo is also quite good (definitely better than the other logo suggestions), but I still prefer the one we've got. The one we've got is really good quality, but it's also unique to SNN and not based on existing Sega artwork. -- Supermorff 18:34, December 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think if we're going to use the new background, then it should show multiple icons on each side of the Sonic silhouette, similar to the current background. Serious   Sam  [[File:Minigun icon.png]] Heavy 18:37, December 16, 2011 (UTC)Sacorguy79
 * I still oppose for both the background and logo, I agree 100% with Morff on this one. I suggest keep both the background and the logo, and oppose the current options. -- 20:11, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I sorta have to agree. There truly is no problem with the background or the logo. But if you ever want to use any of the ones on here that I've done, that's fine with me. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 21:44, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

I oppose the current options for the background and icon. I'm just fine with what we've got.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 22:18, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

I really wouldn't mind if we keep this look or change it to any of the above.

Why don't we wait for a few more years to change these things? Only if someone finds them outdated.--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 07:37, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 08:27, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. But can I say one thing? I really never liked the favicon. It just seemed to messy. I think we should change it to like a Sonic emblem or something. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 18:04, December 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think we should keep it the same, unless I see a better suggestion. -- 22:30, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

I don't really think we need a change. I'm going to have an open mind about this, but I don't feel a logo change is in order.

I like the background idea, though.-- 23:41, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Looks a bit crowded. I think let's stick with the SONIC logo more. <span style="background-color:Blue; color:White; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> SonicTheHedgehogDude <span style="background-color:Red; color:White; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px"> talk    contribs  <span style="background-color:Red; color:White; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">  blog   00:04, December 18, 2011 (UTC)



I still don't think we need a new logo. -- 00:11, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Bullet, do you know the last time we need a change for a new logo? You let new graphics for the home page. But no new logo? 6+ years and STILL no new logo. We need a change that will change the face of SNN now! We need a new logo! <span style="background-color:Blue; color:White; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> SonicTheHedgehogDude <span style="background-color:Red; color:White; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px"> talk    contribs  <span style="background-color:Red; color:White; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">  blog   00:17, December 18, 2011 (UTC)



Um.... no we do not "need" one, and it being our logo for 6 years is another reason I would like to keep it. I still oppose, also your signature is far too long in coding, use it as a template please. And if a new logo, none of these. And saying "the new logo" implies we are getting one, and consensus is not in favor of getting a new logo so far. -- 00:24, December 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I still oppose. -- 00:25, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

K Bullet. Whatever you say. We will wait 6 years later if they say SNN will need a new logo. <span style="background-color:Blue; color:White; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"> SonicTheHedgehogDude <span style="background-color:Red; color:White; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px"> talk    contribs  <span style="background-color:Red; color:White; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:10px; -moz-border-radius-topright:10px">  blog   00:28, December 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well I'm just stating my opinion... If we get a new logo, then so be it. -- 00:30, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

If we choose to use a new logo in a few years, I feel as though more effort should be put into the logos. Now, keep in mind I'm not saying the logo suggestions are bad, they're extremely good and only need some slight tweaking, but there has to be a little mixing of colors once again like the current logo, where it's shifting from yellow, to orange, and nearly to red. Serious  Sam   Heavy  00:33, December 18, 2011 (UTC)Sacorguy79


 * Yep, the one we have is the best-detailed and most professional looking than any of these. -- 00:40, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Ok Bullet. We heard from you. What about the users on the wiki?

Bullet, you can stop speaking now. We get it, ok? And mine were good, no? I mean, the second one I did was pretty dang good... ish... but I still like the old logo better that we have. There's a good chance it'll get outdated some time, but not currently. The only thing I think we should dad-gum change is that stupid favicon. I hate it. I'm sorry, I just do. It's always bothered me. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 05:46, December 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with Bullet that the logo is fine as it is. Being old, by itself, is not a good reason to change it. However, Rainbow has mentioned the favicon and I'm not hugely attached to the favicon we've got. Any suggestions for a new one? -- Supermorff 10:46, December 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I use Google Chrome... I have never seen the favicon before! I never knew we had one! What is it?--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 12:27, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

I was just about to say the same thing, what is a favicon anyway? Crystal the Raccoon <font color="Plum">"The controller of ice!"'''  12:29, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Behold! -- Supermorff 12:31, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

In other words, the favicon is that tiny icon you see right by the site address. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 05:11, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, different favicon, so it isn't also our logo.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 06:11, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

How about the Sonic emblem? Eh? --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 15:34, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

I dunno. I was thinking if it could be digitally drawn... like a Sonic head with lineless vectors (no, not him). If you know what I am saying. I mean, I don't exactly mean that it should be made by a fan, but I guess we can use something besides official artwork. It's just a favicon after all.

It doesn't really matter though, I wouldn't really care what favicon you guys choose.--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 16:58, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

I really think it should be a Sonic emblem. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 22:47, December 19, 2011 (UTC)



There's mine. Don't worry about the gray lines; I had to take a screenshot of the computer and crop it down to this because wikis don't allow files under .ico, so I had to do that to change it to .jpg. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 23:21, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm. I like it. But may it be a bit "same" like the favicon on Sonic Fanon Wiki?

Nah. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 03:04, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

I prefer better quality.--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 15:37, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Huh? What do you mean better quality? --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 18:31, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is it me or does in look chunky and "squeezed in"?--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 06:26, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

[Logo, right, added by User:JakPhoenix.] That logo looks FLIPPIN COOL,I tell you!

JakPhoenix's logo does look good, I admit. -- Supermorff 20:42, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, but it doesn't work well with SNN's background. So I still oppose (I still like the one we have now, anyway). -- 23:51, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

What about an upgrade to the SNN background. Not to change it (like I did last time) but give a "version 2" of it.
 * No. I love our current background, if so, I want to keep it similar. Keep in mind its just my opinion. I don't see a need for a new background/logo, and the main argument by you here seems to be that we have "had the same logo" for a while. -- 00:00, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ok then, I'll try something... --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 15:05, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

man you guys are hard to please, no matter only takes me like 10 minutes to do a logo anyway besides i can happily design a new wallpaper


 * I don't think it's that we're hard to please. Your logo is really very good, and if we didn't already have one we'd jump at the chance to use it. It's just that most of us are happy with the logo we've already got. I wouldn't mind someone tweaking the background, but then I made the one we've got and I've never been completely satisfied with it, although other people seem to like it. -- Supermorff 18:13, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
