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".

[Tslat]

By logo you meant banner, right? This type of thing?

[Clay]

Yep anything close to this is is great

[Zito]

I would make one, but I don't have any photoshop software. I might be able to do something if I did.

[Clay]

use GIMP...haha
hey it works...

[Zito]

What's that?

[Clay]

a open source "photo shop"

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

[Tslat]

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

[Zito]

I have actually used Paint.net before, and it is pretty good.

[Clay]

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.

[Tslat]

I can use paint.net, gimp, or photoshop.. I just don't have any ideas lol

[Clay]

joe had a bunch of ideas, ill get him to post em on here.

Anyone else with ideas for a claytonia logo PLEASE post!

[Farquad94]

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 

[Tslat]

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

[Farquad94]

I was thinking one big cube or so with little images on the 2 faces and minecraft grass pm top

[Tslat]

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?

[Clay]

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)

[Zito]

What was that about expansion Clay?

[Tslat]

He's saying that he's ready to recruit a lot more people to the vanilla server

[Devo_008]

but the Tekkit server is the new baby?

[Clay]

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.

[Clay]

enough about that though, logo is needed....

[Tslat]

Again, if you need any help with the tech, I can help lol

[Zito]

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...

[joe21221]

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

[joe21221]

This is a horrible drawing idea, just to try to illustrate what i was talking about. Dont judge the horrid drawing.

[Zito]

I think we should refine this concept amd make it the new logo

[Tslat]

mmm, needs to be slightly more refined. Also the D is quite abstract, and may need a rework

[joe21221]

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!

[Zito]

We need to get Rockin in on this!

[joe21221]

I see what ya did there. We need to get rockin on this. like going on this.

[Zito]

You saw it indeed...

[Clay]

how about in the middle we put a "CU" for claytonians unite
its the clan tag we have been using in other games.

[joe21221]

The CU would actually be perfect. take out the little diamond in the square and replace it with a fancyish CU.

[Zito]

I like that idea a lot.

[Tslat]

Keep working on this guys and either I or rockin can bring it to reality in digital form

[Zito]

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?

[Tslat]

You don't wanna overload a point of information with different information, it's a basic design principle

[Zito]

Awwwww...

[Clay]

after a google search i noticed that most game communities have their tag in the logo, hence the CU
examples:

[Farquad94]

Yea get a BA logo like one of those haha that would be awesome

[Tslat]

That gave me an idea actually. I might try a few things when I get home

[Zito]

Post your idea Tslat!

[Tslat]

lol this seems like a weekend job.. I just can't seem to find the time during the working week

[Zito]

Ah, ok. Gotta love working, eh?

[Clay]

bump, still looking for more ideas

[DubhAingeal]

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.

[Tslat]

Can we not use eve as the basis for the claytonia minecraft forums?

[Clay]

Can we not use eve as the basis for the claytonia minecraft forums?

Agree, but we still need a logo
