Title: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on February 04, 2010, 09:44:16 AM +0000 ... and if you're reading this I've got the permissions right for once and it works.
Next order of business is to come up with a logo for it... Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Burtoner on February 04, 2010, 10:42:57 AM +0000 this really is looking so complicated...
Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on February 04, 2010, 10:51:23 AM +0000 I hope it will all start to make sense again when we move to SMF 2!

How about something like this? (http://jpv.kapsi.fi/gtr2/ukpng.png) Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: goldtop on February 04, 2010, 08:07:50 PM +0000 I like that jpv :)
Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on February 05, 2010, 08:10:36 AM +0000 Not sure about the "...the legend continues" being at the top - looks like it ought to be at the bottom, which probably means swapping the POWER and GLORY round, so it's something like this:
Could also put UKPnG in the middle and then I can add the "... the legend continues" as text at the bottom right. Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: jpv on February 05, 2010, 01:54:41 PM +0000 Ok, rearranged it and added some decoration, how's that?

Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: jpv on February 05, 2010, 02:25:47 PM +0000 Agreed the serif fonts are usually a bit awkward on screen, but I figured something not quite so angular would suit the theme better. Then again my font collection is pretty much limited to the stock Windows ones so not very many interesting choices there. :P
Here (http://jpv.kapsi.fi/gtr2/ukpng.psd)'s the template in psd format (I hope) if you want to try it out. Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Ade on February 05, 2010, 06:00:47 PM +0000 Here you go jpv, should be able to find something there http://www.dafont.com/
Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on February 06, 2010, 02:21:34 PM +0000 Had a quick play:

Corporate identity & all that 8)
UKiR should do the same, but with red, white & blue. having a background looks 'naff' in my eyes (for want of a better word). IMHO Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Clive Loynes on February 06, 2010, 02:57:52 PM +0000 It's very fetching but I would call it a banner rather than a logo.
Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Wiltshire Tony on February 06, 2010, 03:05:20 PM +0000 Some letters on some colour.
It doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid. Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Clive Loynes on February 06, 2010, 03:38:03 PM +0000 These are logos
(http://www.planet-venom.co.uk/PnG/logos.JPG) Ooops! Perhaps a bit big. Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Wiltshire Tony on February 06, 2010, 03:51:34 PM +0000 Like the middle one of the three. Now if it had a black backgound and P&G font.
Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: lazlow on February 06, 2010, 07:13:48 PM +0000 My logo attempts based on Clive's ideas.

I think this is what Tony was after. (http://www.planet-venom.co.uk/PnG/UKPnG logo3.JPG) I found that the nearest font that I could find for the one used by PnG is one called Impact. Most appropriate I thought. I think that something like this should be used as the actual "logo" (probably at a small size) and that the banner should expand on the theme and add more info.

There could be a reason for that... ;) Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer on February 07, 2010, 10:32:44 AM +0000 My logo attempts based on Clive's ideas. (http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/6480/ukpg.jpg) I like them - I think the first one is better, I've never been a fan of the flag motif, always think it looks a bit "fussy". EDIT: one thing, can the ampersand '&' be replaced by a lowercase 'n', so it fits with the forum names? Also because it makes me think of fish'n'chips. :laugh: Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Clive Loynes on February 07, 2010, 10:48:16 AM +0000 My logo attempts based on Clive's ideas.

Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Wiltshire Tony on February 07, 2010, 11:19:46 AM +0000 Great stuff. Could the black outer band have some lane lines on it so it looks like a track, then add some cars, then................I think this is what Tony was after.

Have managed a quick peek using my phone. They look good. Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Burtoner on February 11, 2010, 01:53:01 PM +0000 isnt it meant to be PnG not P&G LOL
Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Clive Loynes on February 18, 2010, 12:03:36 AM +0000 Hi Burt,
Since you are sporting your SBRC avatar do I take it that you are wanting to come home? ::) Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: Clive Loynes on March 02, 2010, 02:45:29 PM +0000 Another go!

Title: Re: UKPnG gets its own announcements forum Post by: lazlow on March 31, 2010, 08:32:47 PM +0100 I'll have a go at tarting the orange one up a bit over the Easter break.
