Pete has asked us if we'd like to come up with a few examples of the logo and text box you see at the top of the SimV Forums page...this one:

He's indicated that he'd prefer something simple, clean and elegant. NOT a re-design of the logo, but to create the entire box with our current logo and all the text you see in it. So if you're feeling creative, and would like to possibly see your design permanently displayed atop the forums page, sign in here and get your creativity into high gear. Post your artwork in this thread, The size required is 448 x 100 and the text you see presently in the logo must be included. Remember Pete's suggestion, "less is more" for this design.

I think only one small simv logo in the top left corner, with the same background colour as the rest of the logo, and with the text that is currently in the bottom left corner spread across the entire lower portion of the logo would look better, clip. It's a good start... but those are some of my thoughts to improve it. Wink

I like that one... it just needs a bit of softening up around the logo (looks a bit jaggedy in places) and parhaps the 'simv' text should fill more of the vertical space... looks a bit squashed. Other than that, superb!

Note; I think that the logo needs to have a border such as Masternerd's - otherwise it'll look a bit 'slapped on' as a header... a bit out-of place, especially considering the white background of Yabb 2.2's header 'slot'... Wink

P.S. I know this has been asked before but I don't remember the answer... is there a hi-res simv logo somewhere that I could get hold of?

Thanks for the input spit Wink

I made some changes and if I could get a raw image of the logo I can make it look better. Here is another try:

I like the bottom one a lot. All that I think it needs now is to reduce the blue border on the 'simviation' text a little bit, and some smoothing out - maybe use irfanview's resample feature somehow? Also, doesn't it need the small peripheral words that are in the current one - that was one of the prerequisites, I thought?

P.S. Working on one of my own now but can't really complete it w/out a good hi res logo on white background... I don't have the skill or facilities to make a decent hack at cutting out one of the logos on display already.... anyone gonna donate one to a worthy cause? Grin

Seriously, if anyone could PM me one I'd be very grateful.

I wonder how many Folks (like me) will trawl aimlessly around the suggested (original) Logo, trying to click on the various "links" hoping to reach a particular part of the Site?... Embarrassed

By the way....how about a clickable link somewhere on the Forum Page, to take us back to the Sim V Main Page (Home), without having to modify/type the address in the Address Bar?

We can reach the Forum Page from the Main Page, but not in reverse... Cry
