BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted May 7, 2010 This is open to all graphic designers :)Design the new logo for this forum. Your entry should be in .png, .jpg or .jpeg. I would prefer to be in .png.You know the dimension of the image size by downloading form the forum's logo.The current logo is by me just to replace the default logo. You don't have to stay to the similar style. This is open and we're open to your own design. So submit your designs and good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadmad7 4 Report post Posted May 7, 2010 Nice! Though, i do have some questions. Does it have to fit any theme style (blue,orange,green,etc.)Can we use renders?Does have to say the motto 'A search for knowledge through wisdom'Does have to say 'Xisto' or 'Xisto.com'Finally, can non-graphic designers join? (they might contribute some excellent logos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kira423 1 Report post Posted May 7, 2010 I don't think it was specified, so if it were me, I would make them all, have an internal vote, then ask a few others for their opinion then go from there to chose which one you want to enter!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anwiii 17 Report post Posted May 7, 2010 i actually like buffalohelps design and logo. the only problem with it is the words are way too small.my suggestion is geting rid of "a quest for wisdom through knowledge" in the circle, put the word SUTRA below KNOWLEDGE, and make the font bigger. then on the side of the logo, you can have "a quest for wisdom through knowledge" in bigger and more artsy font stretch across the screen.i wouldn't change the design at all. it looks great and blends in perfectly!

BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted May 7, 2010 Thank you all for your interest and comments.The logo is anything goes. Design, submit and let our members decide :)As long as it blends in with the current theme and colors, I believe it should be okay. For example, you don't want to have it it all red when the background is deep blue. So if you design it to fade to blend in with the dark blue, I think it will be alright.I got the render form our home page. And yes on render. Follow anwiii's suggestion if you like. Keep those suggestions coming and submit your works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Simpleton 2 Report post Posted May 7, 2010 Another small suggestion - is it possible to change the font of the word 'sutra', and make it more clear? We already have a lot of members misunderstanding the meaning of the word and the last thing we need is someone reading it wrong. Of course, after visiting the site one may not have doubts about the word, but still it would be more appropriate if the font was more clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Sky- 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2010 Guys, use this IP.Board 3 Blank Logo:http://i44.tinypic.com/2rna3yx.pngTry and keep the layout of the top strip the same, so it matches the rest of the header. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 web_designer,Please use Sky's base template. You're missing the small light blue bar at the top. This matches the stretch of rest of the header. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

truefusion 3 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 Here is my entry: I do not know of the fonts used in the actual Xisto logo, so i picked whatever looked good. You can see it in context here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
