Can we not vote for our own creations as well :D lol.

Ive gone for *removed to not influence anyones decision* (not my own google-esque one :D), mainly because its close to the original one with the colours, and looks quite good :D

Edit: I like maxs rather original attempt :) just its  a bit HUGE! :D

And.. suggestion here.. why not have all of them, on an image rotation script? :D

Look more closely at the smiley and youll see the bland stare of a paedo. LOL

That illustration makes me shiver and cross my legs for some reason. Could be fine with editing though.

btw, who voted for my crap? I didnt even vote for me. :D

TBH i dont think any of them are good enough for the logo, even my own

This poll has come up way to quickly IMO and we should have loads more attempts and wait to see when some of the others join in.

clean up 20 and it will be great, the image is a bit fuzzy especially round the edges and the smiley needs a bit polishing up

anyone else see one of the worst internet phenomena in pic 8

not going to mention which for fear of banning

i spent too long on the wrong kinda boards

I suggest giving this a week and then thin out those with zero or one vote and having another round. We can then cut the list in half again if needbe and remove the lowest votes.

I like 28, 10 and 20 but went for 28.

A few new skins in the old tek colour schemes would be nice. :)

How hard is it to makes skins for phpBB though. ??

Sara suggested a poll, i asked Clockd... put the poll up..... there were already 29 entries (plus the 2 of brummies i missed) and that list is a bit excessive for a single poll..... might it be worth sam and the admin giving examples of what they want rather than a free for all then?

Its the quality more than anything, most of them look amateurish - which of course they are - not intending to offend anyone.

Ill have a go if I get some spare time, but really we need a resident graphic designer to come up trumps with something a little more slick than Arial 12, italics, drop shadow and texture effect.

But there is a need to know the final forum design too. No point doing a red logo if your gonna change the froum to blue etc

Ill have you know none of mine used Arial, or 12pt, or Italics or drop shadows, or texture effects thank-you-very-much

Well even we dont know that yet, but the header can remain a seperate entity to the rest of the look, thats how we got away with a reed skin, a silver skin, etc before. Safest bet is to probably assume well stick with a blue or silver theme? Were not likely to go for anything gaudy after all.

Just to reassure, Im not taking the mick out of anyones efforts, its just that none quite look polished enough compared to our original logo and some have aspects totally unrelated like clovers or Fisher Price colours.

Title: Re:Which logo(s) do we like?
Post by: M3ta7h3ad on March 20, 2006, 20:17:11 PM
The clue was in the name... "tek-google" They are google colours, if it was fisher price colours, itd be a red-orange colour. oh... and I made it cause I was bored and screwing around :)


The last logo wasnt that good to be honest and I found the original tekforums logo to be amaturish in comparison to the black skin and red skin ones.

brummie, that suits this colour scheme beautifully!

Otherwise 16 looks good if we can either make the forum background black or the logo background navy...
