Zandronum logo

#1

Post by Drayko » Sun Aug 19, 2012 6:38 am

I was thinking about a new logo design for Zandronum.

Something simple and square-fitting in the trend of iOS app icons, but not as simple as the current iTunes logo(that does not get high marks for design). I envisioned a green terrestrial planet with a Z shaped ring around it sort of like the Sega Saturn logo.

A problem with this is that the letter Z is overused in ZDoom related projects. Does Carny own the old Skulltag logo?

Why would we need a new logo? I think the current one is good as it is.

I think that the logo on the Wiki looks good enough. It could actually serve as a serviceable iOS icon if the background was changed to a rounded square.

Code: Select all

You mean this one? :I

You know, if you really want it, I can just open up the PDN and make it a rounded iOS-style square.

Just let me know if you do.

While the current logo isn't bad by any means, it is a bit bland and generic. It would be cool if they got a private artist/animator to create a new, much more unique logo.

I think both the name and the icon are stupid, but who cares?
1. It's a ZDoom child port. So Z letter must look like something important.
2. The name comes from Andromeda and Infernum. So maybe...

Yeah. Hellished Andromeda galaxy.
Also the "zadrot" word means "nerd" in Russian. Zandronum is already called "Zadrotum" in Russian Doom Community.

It'd be nice if the logo was fancier
Wait you mean the zandronum launcher icon right?

I was specifically thinking about the logo at the top of the forums. That "Helmet Logo" would suffice. Up in the top left like it was on the ST forums. Also where are the pictures with beautiful map vistas?

Having it on the left would probably work, but as well as not work.
These space themes have that fixed centered planet image which does not look good offseted.

Though with a more basic theme, it could work. Example as shown below. (Click to Expand)

But aside from that, there is plenty of blank unused space on the right.

Note: I am not intentionally trying to advertise my overrides, but using them as examples.

Are they using banners in maps? It would make it seem like a sort of tournament if theey did that. But still, that sounds neat.
Does anyone even take the time to copy these small lines of text, and paste them into a notepad or quick-post box to read what they say? I'm curious, message me if you read this, will ya? ~Helten
