New symbol

Post by **Erik Mortis** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 11:51 am

We need a new symbol for the commonwealth. Right now the symbol is based on the Shireroth flag, which conveys the wrong message. This is not a Shireroth dominated organization, or an attempt by Shireroth to do so... thus we need a new symbol.

Pinch the existing one for the University then? It´s a relatively nifty symbol ....
Or if not the university, the Archives, which also need a symbol. Actually, probably better archives because the symbol Kathbad proposed for the uni is fairly good ...

I really actually like the current one. Big tree... trees is family, life, ecosystem... and wasn't it made really quickly and easily using an image editor? I dunno, invert the colours if you want

but I just love the image.

I'm not a big fan of that much yellow....

Hm, how about you make the background green?

I liked the symbol... and the colour... but if we changing it: put some orange in it.

Maybe something completely not derived from the Shireroth flag? I would kinda like to remove all the confusion about what the small commonwealth is.

something bland and generic!

Sounds like a terrible idea but then again standing up for oneself and refusing to give in only affords one the honour of a quick death and "quick death" is not a concept commonly associated with Shireroth afaik.

Maybe not bland and generic. But it's not an extension of Shireroth policy or military goals. And we need people to know that.

Post by **Andreas the Wise** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 10:50 pm

Here's a bizarre, abstract bland and generic symbol.

It's a tree. You know the image of a great tree sheltering many under its branches? Except, because we're the Small Commonwealth, it's a small tree. And it has fruit on it. All different kinds of fruit. To represent that we have all different kinds of members but we still work together.

Feel free to say its horrible, it took 5 minutes in paint, but hey, its something ...

Well.. I guess it is a start. but I wish people would take this more seriously. If we are to get the SC to grow and actually serve a purpose we need to show people it's for real and not just some Shireroth ploy...

I love it!

I mean... it's terrible, but if someone made that rounded and all flashy-looking, I believe the idea to be perfectly sound. Well done Andreas.

Post by **Erik Mortis** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 12:45 pm

I guess maybe I was hoping for something more professional looking.

b3n|<3r|\| · Post by **b3n|<3r|\|** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 1:42 pm

Agreed. But the tree- do you like the tree? Does anyone else like the tree?!

Post by **Erik Mortis** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 2:19 pm

Maybe a tree as a symbol would make sense, yes.

Thanks. I was definitely more sound on the idea part rather than the look part.

Leo?

Already on it :P

So I didn't realize it was supposed to be a symbol and made a flag.

It wont be hard to incorporate it into a circle symbol if you like the the logo/tree.

EDIT: Finished it.

Post by **Andreas the Wise** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:14 pm

I like.

Post by **Erik Mortis** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 9:50 pm

Maybe remove the initials, or find a different font. But we are close.

b3n|<3r|\| · Post by **b3n|<3r|\|** » Fri May 01, 2009 11:08 am

Yes indeed we are. Observe the roundedness and flashiness! Well done sir!

Post by **Jonas** » Fri May 01, 2009 11:50 am

Nifty...

Couldn't there be a smoking skull and at least one dagger included in it?

Leo Fenrir · Post by **Leo Fenrir** » Fri May 01, 2009 3:08 pm

I'm not quite sure what you want along the lines of a different font. More fluid? More Squiggly?
Also are the initials the only thing that I should address? Color scheme? Scale?

And no skulls.

What's the status on this new symbol?

Leo Fenrir · Post by **Leo Fenrir** » Tue May 19, 2009 1:06 pm

Still waiting on the consensus for the Font.

Post by **Andreas the Wise** » Tue May 19, 2009 1:30 pm

I don't mind either way.

Post by **Jacobus Loki** » Tue May 19, 2009 1:52 pm

IMHO, go for it!

Post by **Erik Mortis** » Wed May 20, 2009 9:55 am

Get it into place then. We can always change it again later if it doesn't work.
