New Logo

[Stormbringer]

I've created this in Paint, based on a draft by Dj that he posted on the old forum:



Give me some feedback, chaps.

[Sly Boots]

I like it.

[Medicine Man]

I'm a big fan of symmetry. The placement of 'the' bothers me, but that might just be me. Like I say I'm a weirdo.

[Stormbringer]

I'm very much into symmetry too, and that "The" does bother me as well, but I wanted to make the joystick fit in as well!

[Gibby]

It looks brilliant, Doug. My only criticism is I liked "Stay a while, and read!" bit rather than Traditional British Pub. But that's only because it, for some reason, reminded me of Baldur's Gate... ¬_¬

[Stormbringer]

It reminds me of Diablo 2. "Stay a while and listen..."

I'll make a revised version in a moment.

[Raid]

I hate to sound like a broken record, but this has white pixels around the border too, which looks bad on a dark background.

[Gibby]

Ah, Diablo 2 is what it was reminding me of. I was trying to remember the quote you just wrote, attributing it in my mind to Elminster in BG, but it was Deckard Cain!

[Maturin]

Is there any way we could make it look a bit more rustic? Like some slightly faded paintwork.

Thanks -- I didn't pick that up before. I'll fix it in the next draft.

I'll see what I can do.

That looks tip top mate, did you see my second post that I put in the thread on PW regarding the dimensions? Setting the whole thing on a white banner of whatever it was I said in there would make slotting it onto the header of any of our future themes an absolute doddle.

I did see that, but unfortunately those pixels dimensions you gave me are really small. I don't know if this logo will scale down that small and still look good. ¬_¬

Anyway, here is a second draft, taking on board everyone's suggestions:

[eny]

I'm in agreement with the symmetry of the 'the' placement, and the preference for "stay a while".

Was there a reason for not having "the" in the web address too? I felt www.thegamersarms was more descriptive than www.gamersarms, which sounds like a weapons related site?

[Pew-Pew]

I know lots of pubs are the same, but the lack of possessive apostrophe in the name annoys me -_-

[Stormbringer]

Me too, actually. ¬_¬
