The Barracks needs a new forum logo!

Hey everyone!

As you can see the generic "Our Community" image is lackluster at best. And, due to its size and color, I don't think the old forum logo is suitable. Therefore, I'd like to flex the artistic talent of our ranks and create a new logo!

Here's some info for those interested:

  • The file should be in .gif or .jpeg format.
  • The current image size is 310px × 89px if you'd like to use that.
  • The current image is a transparent .gif, which looks nice with the shaded background, if you'd like to try a transparent picture.
  • If you want to resize the image, I can edit the theme accordingly. If you're going to make a custom size, though, I'd recommend keeping the width under 600 pixels.
  • Any colors, themes, or ideas are welcome. All I care about is that it goes well with the forum theme.
  • We can experiment and play around as much as you want. Just ask me and we'll work on it!
As always, I know the Barracks will come through with superior results, so I can't wait to see what we have in store!

So, this thread will serve as our logo design HQ until one is selected?

Yup. My first prototype turned out pretty decent. Might have to shift it down a few pixels. Looking forward to seeing some other ideas from the other fine folks here in the barracks.

*Salutes*

Aw, someone had to do the first one! Don't be like that, Cobra!

Besides, it'll give YOU a chance to come up with your own idea...I know you like friendly competition. Photoshop away!

8-) :mrgreen:

I would but my photoshop skills SUCK! I'm better in Illustrator. I just need to think of something. Sure the EGSC badge, and the other shield looking badges, and the deity whistle are a major cornerstone of the EGB, it's just we need something newer.

And yes I am a bit wrapped up today. >_<

WTF byte stop making rainbow posts with all those colors.

BTW I'll probably try to design a logo of my own when I get some free time (i.e. tomorrow) if can come up with a good idea.

Damn! You guys beat me to it! Besides, I think the different colors are nice. They let me be creative, and I can emphasize my feelings! Thank you, EagleRock!

What are you talking about? Color BBCode was already available in the old forums, yet you never used it so much :/

Also, this post is very gay :D

Spammy? I don't see what's spammy with the post you quoted. That post isn't spammy, and this post isn't spammy either. Yup, nothing spammy around here. Though high amounts off BBCode may make the gay-colored posts look confusing, it's pretty to understand if you know what each piece of code does. In fact, to use the "color" tag you don't even have to use those ugly codes for each specific color (like "#FF0000"). If you want to, you can just type the name of the color you want to use instead. For example, you can use "color=red" and the text will be red, or "color=blue" and the text will be blue, etc etc. Or you might as well use the "Font colour" button above the text box when you're making a new post, and you'll see a decent amount of colors you can use. Of course, those are some limited colors considering that BBCode offers endless possibilities, which is pretty awesome if you want to use a lot of colors like a pro (like me). See? This is nothing spammy. Yeah, not spammy at all.
