Moposite icon/symbol/logo

Post by **Abula** » 10 Apr 2005, 14:25

What?
Design an icon/symbol (or why not calling it as a logo) for Moposite. It will be used in address bar in browsers. Also in other places. Maybe next to current Logo or even replacing it.

Ideas
Keep it simple. The icon in address bar will be about 20x20 pixels so you can't include too detailed stuff. Make it so that it's cool in tiny mode but also in larger scale. It doesn't have to be Elma related, nor including text. Or I don't know... up to you :]. You can also design the whole Logo with Moposite text but I can't promise anything for that. The main priority is the tiny icon in address bar. Different color versions would be nice. You know Moposite will not be green forever ;). Or maybe will. That's why.

Examples of nice icons:
- http://www.sitepoint.com
- http://www.google.com
- http://dev.mysql.com/

How?
Just use your imagination, don't copy anything. Make picture files of it in 20x20 size, normal size and one in large scale. Post the png files here or mail to a b u @ m o p o s i t e . c o m . The best suggestion will be chosen if it's good enough.

When?
As soon as possible. I will set a deadline later.

For what?
For honour and glory ;). Your name will remain in the history of Moposite forever, imagine the number of views of your logo (Moposite has 1500 visitors everyday)! If there is anything you would like to get just mention (Mopolauta status etc). Even a small amount of money isn't a problem if that's asked.

OK, I'm in, but first tell me what size is "normal size" and what size is "large scale". I've got the tiny browser icon ready and i'll send it 2 abu's e-mail as soon as i know what the other image sizes are.

Post by **Abula** » 10 Apr 2005, 18:50

Normal size: the size you think is normal for it (current Moposite logo is 60px height so if you want it next to it better keep it about 60px then). Large size is large enough :P. The bigger the better (well not over 1000x1000px).

I will edit them later.

some stuff I had laying around, check the wheel images out.

edit: but why change the geniously made moposite logo? I'd say if you REALLY want a new logo, let rez do some, he's the expert on logo and icon design.

Tisjoris u have made cool pictures

Especially those "the Moposite" titles.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 11 Apr 2005, 15:13

Hm, are you sure?
I bet everyone can make that.

Rez, are you making some images already?

And come on Rez, do your job.

Two lame attempts by me

Well, some better than me.

Well I made something for fun. From the small one you can't clearly see the "m" but I think it still looks nice.

dz · Post by dz » 18 Apr 2005, 06:01

I don't kinda like the colour theme. Kinda used to the green one.

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 18 Apr 2005, 14:06

I don't think it's a good idea to change the logo for moposite... don't see any reason to do so... A logo is a logo and should always be a logo.

But that small "Adress Bar" logo/icon.. is a great idea

Only my idea is drew there. The final version not found yet, give a try if you think it has potential.

Post by **Abula** » 18 Apr 2005, 21:47

The icon version will be 15x16 pixels. Yes, 15x16.

Post by **Abula** » 18 Apr 2005, 21:56

Or a green apple. Apple from Elma and the style/colors from Moposite. A Mopo-themed apple. Something like that. Maybe that apple could be included to the current logo? So no need for totally new logo but just renewed.

Just some ideas.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 18 Apr 2005, 22:19

Honestly, the current theme is cool enough.

Crypt · Post by **Crypt** » 19 Apr 2005, 03:38

well the style we got right now is good, but maybe we could twist a little bit of it.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 19 Apr 2005, 05:59

Nah, I only agree with the 15Ã—16 icon, that's it.

Rez · Post by **Rez** » 20 Apr 2005, 16:06

more a wallpaper than a logo

What is the present elma logo font ( like Arial, Times,... ) ?

Rez · Post by **Rez** » 21 Apr 2005, 14:35

mopo logo or elma font?
mopo logo->neuropol
elma font-> zworqy told me but cant find it. maybe he can upload it?

ribot · Post by **ribot** » 21 Apr 2005, 18:51

dunno waht the logo is for but changing it will probably be a sucky new one.

Teh I use in my backgrounds is "Menta". It's nat the real Elma font though. I think Hibernatus has said that the Elma font is not a real font, just images of letters.

Get Menta font here.
(put in c:\Windows\fonts)

Rez · Post by **Rez** » 21 Apr 2005, 20:34

thx anyway
ps: i ripped the ingame elmafont if somebody needs it

Well, i downloaded a neuropol font but there were like 20-40 variations of neuropol so, i took one that looked a little like the moposite logo ...

if anyone could precise me the exact neuropol style, i would be happy to change my logo.

It might be the same font. But the logo has been edited with highlighting and shading in photoshop. Anyways, boneless you're logo rocks

i might try something else.

Edit: Heres the icon http://www.kurki.buildtolearn.net/uploa ... ilmopo.png

Its representing the goal flower.
