Forum:Halopedia logo: Difference between revisions

I'm not sure about others, but I always saw the current HCE/Anniversary logo as a temporary one that we used due to the ten-year celebration of the first game, but it's not exactly something we'd want to keep forever. By now, the focus has already shifted on ''Halo 4'' and the Reclaimer Trilogy, so updating our logo accordingly seems like a good idea. It's not just for the sake of novelty, but I believe the logo should be something more iconic and persistent than an image showing the difference between a game and its graphical remake. Moreover, it might serve well to reflect what the ''Halo'' franchise itself is going through; from Bungie's ''Halo 3'' to the transitory stage and finally, 343's ''Halo 4'' and the upcoming trilogy.

Instead of having the Master Chief with Halopedia in the foreground, maybe we should have a trademark representing the wiki? For example, Wikia's mark of trade is <code>[w]</code>, Wikipedia's is a globe with glyphs from different languages, Firefox is a fox on fire circling a globe, Chrome is a red, green, yellow circle, etc. Halopedia's trademark should be distinctive to the extent that when people see it, they will immediately think of the wiki. As it is right now, it's just a icon of the franchise with a title in the foreground... which is a common practise for most Halo fan sites.— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 06:40, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

I've never really cared for the fan-made ''Halo'' font, especially the 2010-present font, which doesn't match at all. So I would like to see some sort of "trademark" with or without the addition of our prized Spartan. Otherwise, the '''first image''' is the only one that would be nice daily and would probably be the best fit. As for a trademark, perhaps something relating to Cortana or Forerunner AI just to be stereotypical? :P {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

::They would have stuck around with normal Mark VI if that were properly true. :P {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

::::Yeah well HF is a niche site and its not like we're rolling in popularity over there. Superintendent would be a nice choice. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

Before we do anything, are we absolutely sure this is what the final iteration will look like in the game? It would be prudent to wait until we have some good images of the final one, if this isn't it.

:That isn't appealing or eye catching at all. To most, all it would be is an arrangement of scifi-y lines in a circle. The Superintendent graphics, Libarian, 343 GS, Cortana, Virgil, or even the ONI triangle logo would be the best choices, me thinks. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

I decided to try and make a simple logo idea. One with the word Halopedia in black, and one with it in white:

Thoughts? Not expecting it to be the new logo, just wanted to show it off, haha. ~[[User: Jman98|Jman]][[User Talk: Jman98|98]]~ 02:19, 25 April 2012 (EDT)

Here's a sketch I did for a potential logo (if this conversation hasn't died...). Obviously, it would need to be colored, but whenever I color pictures, I kill them. - [[User talk:DefeatingLine|DefeatingLine]] 09:49, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

:I did some lurking on various fan sites and I think we're fine with the current logo style (that is, Master Chief with Halopedia text layered over him). So I think we don't need a new logo design, but I do think we need to update it with Master Chief from Halo 4. Oh, that's a nice sketch. Colour it! :D — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  10:53, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
