Shireroth

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I like.

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

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

Nifty...

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

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?

Still waiting on the consensus for the Font.

I don't mind either way.

IMHO, go for it!

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