The Pub / Re: Logo Madness (Was: New revs)
« on November 19th, 2010, 03:32 PM »For the geek win, the slogan should of course be "A New Hope"
being the tagline of the first (proper) Star Wars film, and that was about a group of rebels standing up against the Empire and declaring that they would not conform, battles of masters of their skills, etc.
I like pretty much every logo that's gone on here, and to a point it almost doesn't matter what the logo looks like: we can always improve on it later.
What's more important isn't the surface finish but the under-the-hood, the heart of the machine. No time vortexes here to be seen, naturally.
It's a pun on Simple Machines, of course. But it also means that choosing between SMF and Wedge is simple math.
The unrelated note is pretty neat actually :) It actually reminds of what I did when I started arantor.org - I put the dark theme there, but I use the same dark theme on Airship Chronicles where there are a couple of regulars on both sites, so I changed the orange header to red for the other site so they're distinguishable at a glance.
Unfortunately, most forum owners either don't bother, or when they do... Well they shouldn't :lol: The myspace effect!

Unrelated: you may have noticed I was working on the header background (rather than logo) in the last hour... I think I've reached a point I like. It looks cool and it makes the logo stand out, as opposed to the earlier background which was a bit too much. (It used to be good, for the very first logo, because that one was pure black so it did stand out.)
Basically, all public and common places have a blue background, while the private area has a golden background. Just so you remember easily where you're posting :)

« on November 19th, 2010, 02:56 PM »How about "a new era" or something like that? does it have to be so "in-your-face"?
"A new era" is kinda boring (and cliché, if you'll allow my use of an accent, eheh.)
It's a given, really. SMF2 Gold will be out soon, and forks will be coming from everywhere (or not). Wedge will be old news in a month.
As for "in your face", I don't think this slogan can be described that way... On the contrary, it's relatively friendly: we're suggesting that SMF wakes up if they don't want to be forgotten soon. It's also suggesting that WE're in the process of making it wake up.
I don't really know of any 'uppercut' slogan that would be cool to use.
It's that, or rely on more politically correct slogans, like "WE are living/coding on the EDGE". Boring, too... Dunno.
I really liked "SMF for real men", but apparently it was seen as too sexist. :lol:
I know you didn't like it looking like a sign or foreign letter or something,
Just like "Pokémon" is a misspelling. It's just Pokemon. The accent being there to hint on pronounciation. Then again, Americans usually don't bother with spelling. I never understood why they insist on spelling the city of Marseille as "Marseilles". Uh. It's never had an "s" at the end... Just because Paris, Nîmes or Nantes have an s doesn't mean we have cities like Lyons, Lilles, Strasbourgs or Nices... Ah well.
but imho it lends a bit of mystique to it. Placing the wedge IN the logo def. do not wok, it looks forced and obscures the letters.
If anything the wedge should just blend in with one of the letters or something. But you decide of course.
Otherwise I'd have chosen my fave logo long ago and closed this topic. :P
A logo is an identity. Wedge is We. I don't get to decide alone for everything -- I don't want to, either.

live, my current favorites (and been for a while) are:
- the one below the one you linked.... :^^;: http://wedge.org/up/6271/logo-madness-was-new-revs/msg249986/#msg249986
- first in this list: http://wedge.org/up/6271/logo-madness-was-new-revs/msg249970/#msg249970 (I also like the last one, although a bit less.)
It's hard to make a choice, isn't it?
The slogan's readability is only due to it being too long to warrant a big font size, ah ah...
I could just say "Wake up, SMF" but it would then be too short I think (?), or "Time to die, SMF" but people would beg to differ :P
As for a shortlist... Well, I guess I can do that at some point.

Aeva Media rev 12 (<-- since it'll soon be merged with Wedge)
! Adding proper UTF8 handling in htmlspecialchars when editing custom fields, showing RSS feeds, errors and item titles. Also when showing SMG code (is that useful, really?) (Aeva-Admin.php, Aeva-Foxy.php, Aeva-Media.php, Aeva-Subs-Vital.php, Aeva-Subs.php)
- Removed Noisen copyright from auto-embedder code. This is ONLY for AeMe2 and Wedge! (Aeva-Embed.php)
+ Added an extra field to Exif data... Not that it's of any interest. Should really update that Exif library at some point. (Aeva-Exif.php)
* More improvements to visual details. (am.css, am.js)

People could think it's a space shuttle or whatever, I don't care ahah.
Anyway, anyone's free to submit logos... But we're close to going public so I suppose it'd be nicer to select from the already existing ones that Bloc and I submitted... As a temp logo at least.

Maybe I should make the wedge itself a bit brighter...
And I realize I made a typo in the slogan, it should be "Time to DIE, smf". Sorry about that one!

rev 263
* Moved storeCaret() from editor.js to PHP, as it's too short to bother waiting for editor.js to finish loading... (Class-Editor.php, editor.js)
* Replaced existing onclick hacks with a new trick that is cleaner but requires moving templates to HTML5. We would have had to do it at one point anyway... (Class-Editor.php, Display.template.php, script.js, index.template.php, Poll.template.php, Post.template.php)
* Spacinazi. (PrettyUrls-Filters.php)

Bumping for logo opinions. Maybe after all this time, you've all gotten to a point where you have a favorite?
Does the current logo in the header suit you fine or not?

You should do your checks quickly, because I'll probably be moving the theme to HTML5 ASAP, meaning you'll have meaningless code to check in addition to proper code... It's best to first check proper code, and then just skim quickly through the meaningless HTML5 upgrade.
(BTW: XHTML5, right? I'm not interested in changing the /> stuff anyway... I learned to like them.)

Eheh, funny.
Even funnier is that this video is made by students at Supinfocom, a CG school in Valenciennes, right next to my father's place. One of my cousins studied there, now he's a director for CG commercials and stuff. Last I heard of him, he was in Hong Kong or something. French touch pawa!

Sorry, bit tired here. Already 24 hours spent on making sure I can move all JS code to the bottom...
I said that because you've been here a lot today, and you didn't answer my questions... :P
