Looking for a new Claytonia logo!
Must have a gaming theme, a transparent background.
If you have photo shop skills and some free time make a few images and post them on this thread. We will vote on them and use the most popular one.
You will receive full credit and life time vip status on the semi-vanilla server. I know a lot of you don't play on the semi server ,however, I'm hoping you would do this for the community and not the "rewards".
By logo you meant banner, right? This type of thing?

Yep anything close to this is is great
I would make one, but I don't have any photoshop software. I might be able to do something if I did.
use GIMP...haha
hey it works...
What's that?
a open source "photo shop"
http://www.gimp.org/ (http://www.gimp.org/)
from what i understand it can do most of what other programs can but is not as easy to use.
but, heres the kicker..... ITS FREE
You can Also try paint.net, it's not as powerful but has a few options that gimp doesn't.. I use both in combination with each other usually
I have actually used Paint.net before, and it is pretty good.
still looking for banners and or logos.
for a logo something with the WASD keys in it would be great.
im working on learning how to use GIMP but there is a large learning curve.
I can use paint.net, gimp, or photoshop.. I just don't have any ideas lol
joe had a bunch of ideas, ill get him to post em on here.
Anyone else with ideas for a claytonia logo PLEASE post!
would be cool to have a minecraft cube but inside the frames on diffrent sides would be other games.
The idea is that this community has a framework of minecraft but other games 'in' it as well 8)
Problem with cubes is you can only see 2 faces at a time.. If you try to make it more, the faces all get jumbled up with each other
Prove me wrong if you can, I'd love to see it done lol
I was thinking one big cube or so with little images on the 2 faces and minecraft grass pm top
Sounds like the minecraft wiki logo lol, I'll give it a go and see how it works out...
What I'll do is make the ideas on their own, instead of the whole logo, ten we can decide which ones to put together for the final result?
i want the WASD keys in there somewhere. an element of minecraft is an obvious choice but I want to show that we do more than minecraft. (the community is getting ready to expand, a lot)
What was that about expansion Clay?
He's saying that he's ready to recruit a lot more people to the vanilla server
but the Tekkit server is the new baby?
adding more variety in game servers, aka different games...
this will give us more donating possibilities from a wider demographic. the hope is that more donations will support the new servers and more MC servers.
im still working on learning the tech stuff behind it all.
enough about that though, logo is needed....
Again, if you need any help with the tech, I can help lol
For the logo, what about the WASD keys, with the W kind of a Minecraft Grass block, and the rest other games? I am not sure how this would look, just an idea...
Im not artist at all, but an idea i had could be a compass. but instead of N S E W we could do WASD all on different points of the compass. And perhaps the compass thing could be inside of a larger globe done kinda pixely like. Maybe even each letter of the WASD could be done with a different style similar to the titles of some of the games we play. That part wasnt my idea, i read that above, i think.
Just throwing out ideas
This is a horrible drawing idea, just to try to illustrate what i was talking about. Dont judge the horrid drawing.
I think we should refine this concept amd make it the new logo
mmm, needs to be slightly more refined. Also the D is quite abstract, and may need a rework
please please please, some redo it if people like that. I used a duct tape roll for a circle and my phone for straight lines. also in each section you could do some small design representing the game its from.
I think the W was drawn with the format of the minecraft title
The A was the format of Civ
The S was the format of 7 days to die
and the D was the format of war thunder.
Im horrible at putting ideas together.
I know Rockin is supposedly an artist!
We need to get Rockin in on this!
I see what ya did there. We need to get rockin on this. like going on this.
You saw it indeed...
how about in the middle we put a "CU" for claytonians unite
its the clan tag we have been using in other games.
The CU would actually be perfect. take out the little diamond in the square and replace it with a fancyish CU.
I like that idea a lot.
Keep working on this guys and either I or rockin can bring it to reality in digital form
How about the CU in the center is kind of a block lettering, and inside it are the titles of some of the games we play?
You don't wanna overload a point of information with different information, it's a basic design principle
Awwwww...
after a google search i noticed that most game communities have their tag in the logo, hence the CU
examples:
https://www.google.com/search?q=gaming+logo&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=yscvUt2FGKmuyQHGmYHIBA&ved=0CC4QsAQ&biw=1280&bih=920#q=gaming+logos&tbm=isch (https://www.google.com/search?q=gaming+logo&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=yscvUt2FGKmuyQHGmYHIBA&ved=0CC4QsAQ&biw=1280&bih=920#q=gaming+logos&tbm=isch)
Yea get a BA logo like one of those haha that would be awesome
That gave me an idea actually. I might try a few things when I get home
Post your idea Tslat!
lol this seems like a weekend job.. I just can't seem to find the time during the working week
Ah, ok. Gotta love working, eh?
bump, still looking for more ideas
Sooo i have seen the CU i propose the tag C-R-U for Claytonia Reapers United and the motto "never leave a gamer behind" we can use the EVE icon template for our corp as a sigil.
Can we not use eve as the basis for the claytonia minecraft forums?

Agree, but we still need a logo

Lol yeah, I kinda forgot about it before... I'll see if I remember this weekend
Its also the tag we us for the war thunder clan as well face it we have grown beyond that of just minecraft and we need something that can be universal. Not just something used for minecraft.
Eve has it's own forums for a reason though. This is the Minecraft and other games section of Claytonia...

Back to the logo. All ideas are welcome
Im waiting for Tslat's proposal
I still like Joe's compass.
Yeah I don't really work on it during the week, it's more of a weekend proposal.. I wanna try make a more high detailed and shiny version of his compass.. with a few changes... keep making suggestions.. they'll all help out

I found this free photo editing software online and thought some of you might want to try your hand at making claytonia a logo
http://pixlr.com/editor/ (http://pixlr.com/editor/)
You can also go to GetPaint (http://www.getpaint.net)
or Gimp (http://www.gimp.org)
Hmm.. I was testing out a metallic type look.. not sure what to think..
This is without the WASD part, since I couldn't figure out how to make the triangles pointing to each letter look yet..
Any thoughts?

You can use the programs mentioned above to do some editing and we can polish it later.

You will never be able to read them..
This + "Claytonia" have to fit into an 800wide x 300high banner size image
Maybe make the games in the background instead of in the logo. Or put minecraft icons in the middle like creeper head or block icons, since we are minecraft based.
If you are going to put Claytonia in it, say that next time...
It was literally the second post of this thread lol
I don't see how you are planning on putting the compass and that in there. It seems like it would be too bulky and crowded.
No, next to it... Claytonia on the left, logo alongside it
I think we should go with just one or the other.
*facepalm* ok we'll I still need to know what everyone thinks lol, this is just getting worse
How is it getting worse? I am suggesting things for the logo. Don't act like my ideas are irrelevant. That's just rude.
I didn't...? I'm acting like your opinions aren't the only one that matters..?
It's made for the community, not just for you.. I'm looking for more than one opinion
The way you said it sounded like you were saying "Oh that's cool, nobody cares". If that's not what you meant, I apologize for accusing you of it.
I would like to see more gaming elements incorporated into it. The wasd and maybe change the silver color to a circuit board texture. just an idea....
You love circuit boards lol.. Ok I'll look over the weekend..
Quote from: Tslat on September 26, 2013, 11:59:28 PM
You love circuit boards lol.. Ok I'll look over the weekend..
what else says PC gaming like a circuit board? lol
What if I try get like a glassy mold type style overlaying the circuit board for the rings... Then something different for the triangles to WASD?
I just need to work out a style for the triangles
sounds good
we could be over thinking this....

Simple is always easier in every case pretty much lol..

I think it looks best with a black background.. but black is already my favourite colour lol

white :)
Lol thanks for the feedback
Amazing the transparent one
In this small peice of artwork great pleasure i find
its well kept and joyfull and stuck in my mind
You'd only use the transparent one, the black one is just an example to show how it goes over a background
Looks amazing to me. It's definitely a keeper lol.
sorry for the late reply.
I like it a lot!
I wish more people were involved in this thread so we had more input so it wasnt just tslat making the images with one or two suggestions.
I would like to see at least one more design similar to this one. Maybe with a different style for the CU or a different text, then we could have a vote. Options are always good.
i prefer the balck one
the background color will change, its transparent
design speaking.... do u like the CU logo and the font?
do u like the color of the CU?
what other fonts do u like?
do u like the green glow behind the letters?
do u like the colors of the letters?
do u like that the A in the current font?
we need input on the design, not just "i like it"....what would u change?
I can change the colors of the glow and the CU to any other colour.. I'll try making the font in a circuit board fashion instead of rocks..

i like it, just dont want to buy the first car i test drive.. ;)
Options are always better, and i was hoping for more input from the community
one option would be to use the WASD compass idea instead of the CU
im just throwing out ideas and i really do like this one
do u like the color of the CU?
what other fonts do u like?
do u like the green glow behind the letters?
do u like the colors of the letters?
do u like that the A in the current font?
Yeah it's just unfortunate that there's not many cars in the lot lol
I'm trying my best clay
The only thing i can see is i think the U needs to be a couple of millimeters up closer to the centre of the C but thats all
maybe something on the right of it aswell
a sprite from minecraft or, a mouse/joystick i just think its needs more balance and symmetry but its fantastic

how about a wasd on the right side?
too much?
Yeah i was just thinking Joystic because you could have the lead Underlining it or something but what evers good with You guys and obviously what Tslat can do
what Program do you use btw Tslat?
I'll move the u up a bit.. But as for something on the right.. There's a whole list of reasons why I think that's a bad idea but I can try it later I guess
I use paint.net
Gimp
Illustrator
Photoshop
All together, since they all have different features to one another
Are they all free?
Paint.net and gimp are, illustrator and photoshop now cost like $40/month
You used to be able to buy them one-off for like $100 each but now it's monthly subscription..

Thoughts...?
I love it Maybe a different colour for different games or something?
Green for Minecraft
Blue for Eve
Red for Everything else
Exactly what I was looking for, options.
I'll start a poll later today.
Its not too late to give constructive criticism. What do u or don't u like ?
I like all three, but I think the red and green need more than what they have. The blueis too detailed compared to the others.
Me gusta
This was my Idea haha I know its crap First try sorry :)
Thanks Tslat for the programs they are amazing I also love your logos please don't think i'm trying to be your competition I could nowhere near compare to the time and effort and pure awesomeness you put into your logos.
Virtual hug to woodsy. Thank u so very very much . How about woodsy circle thing in place of the cu? Just an idea , what do u think ?
I like yours Woodsy. It looks like something a fancy business would have as their logo! Although, for the text, I think it should be "Claytonians Unite" then "No Gamer Left Behind". Still, awesome job on that.
Edit: I like that Idea Clay. Or, we could put a CU in the center of Woodsy's Circle? I'm thinking kind of an overlay over the center of it, and ahve it slightly faded?
Here are the two ideas you said. Think of colours aswell
I like the second one. The first one just doesn't contrast very well.
agree with zito that it should be claytiona united
and i like the second on in your last post the best.
make sure they are transparent backgrounds
how about a W A S D kinda like N S E W ?
I definitely like the idea of WASD in that pattern. I think ti will look awesome.
I like the black and blue circuit board banner all the way! Id settle for that one now :)
I want to give everyone who wants to a chance to give input or make an image than we will vote
I like the blue circuit board stuff

I said the same thing earlier in the topic.
That's because it's clays favourite background lol..
I'll redo the green and red huh? Any other colours you'd like to see?
Can you do a gradient?
Possibly, what colours were you thinking?
I was hoping we might be able to get a Minecraft grass gradient into dirt. After the dirt, it would go into stone and ores, and at the end, bedrock. If that's too much to ask, I was thinking a green into brown.
im trying to stay away from a specific game in the logo. minecraft is the glue that holds us, but we play other games too.
That's why I was thinking this part as Minecraft, then Woodsy's compass type thing as other games.
cool. i cant picture things, i need to see it
Yeah, I hope it isn't too much...
Uh.... Not really.. But I don't really like it.. I'll have to talk with you guys on ts or something
That will never work lol
Why not?
Time zones.
I'll find you both sometime or other
Ok here is another batch of styles for you guys to check out.. if you have any other suggestions feel free to post
Some of these are probably repeated, but it's just so you can see all at once

I like the 4th one (the first green)... but I've always been partial to green :D
i will be starting a poll on which one people like the best in the next day or two. Its not too late to offer ideas or your own home made images.
I love the first one! (Gold)
Same here the gold one is amazing i still think we should have different colors for different games
I also enjoy that purple one!
Definitely 1 or 2 for me.
