Yeah, he is quite talented. Im not a fan of his ideas about the game (we have clashed several time on the forums), but he does seem to have some good graphics skillz!
Frenzy will help but has asked if he can send us something early in the New Year. I've said 'yes' as there's no real urgency.
I've also spoken with Hardy Hero about the possibility of putting together a new org logo.
This is a thread on the RSI forums that he won MVP for: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/189112/star-cards-orgs-edition-complete-collection-with-all-150-cards#latest

He says that he usually charges a token $25 gift card for his services, and I said I'd pass this on.

Excellent work. I say we approach him and get him to sort us out a logo. His fee is ridiculously cheap.
I found this online. I like the way the people infer teamwork and that there's a star in the middle :D

For $25 I think we should get one from him anyway just to see what he comes up with. Put me down for a donation towards it, I'm sure we'll cover it whatever happens. We'd need to agree a brief though so that we get what we want, which leads me on to.......

I like the concept in the one you posted Oldie, but for me what is missing is any reference to DMW. If people see a circle with a star then that's what they will see, but they won't be able to define it as DMW. I'd want to see something that had DMW in it, so that our org's ships have a clear brand. I know we'll be able to mouse-over and find out (probably), but almost every other decent org's logo has their name in it and I think we should follow suit. Look at the PACT signatory page as an example, there's only us and one other without the name in the logo, everyone else had it included.

I wasn't suggesting it could be our new logo. I thought it could be the germ of an idea to build on. I should have been clearer, sorry.
No apology necessary, I interpreted it as such and was trying to add my feedback for the building of said logo!
Yes, let's get him to knock one up, it's a small price to pay . TL - the Community can fund it.

Woger that! :thumbsup:
Frenzy's sketches for consideration.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3463[/ATTACH]
The one bottom left (circle of astronauts) is probably my preferred candidate to explore further.
Oh and, yes, I did say no skulls :doh:
The lower left one catches my eye the most, but I, not keen on the spacemen. I'm wondering if replacing them with the Jump Point logo would look better - ties it in with SC a bit more?
The space and helmet intrigues me too - I like the idea of this WITH a skull visible inside! Not keen on the lettering/wording though, as it looks more like a banner than a logo.

Apparently not. What do we need to do to advance this?

In addition, I'll get Frenzy to put some time into the one we liked from him, dropping the circle of pilots and incorporating the Jump Point logo as suggested by Obs. This will give us a couple of design ideas to play with.
Will do.
Do we want to give him something to start with or just a "blank canvas" and see what he comes up with?

I think go with a blank canvas. Will be good to see what someone with his skills can come up with.
Ideally, I'd like some thing that has a central 'button' area where the graphic therein changes depending on which dMw game section the logo is for.

Noted.
Heard back from Hardy Hero. His fee is $30 for a logo, but will iterate on it as much as we like until it's finished and he delivers the files.
His first question had me stumped: do we want an 'industrial' or 'hightech' look? I'm leaning towards industrial myself, but let me know what you guys think.
Here's examples of his work:

When you say 'game section' are you expecting this to be a generic logo for dMw that can be customised for each game, or did you mean 'division' within Star Citizen?

Quote from: Obsydian;411178When you say 'game section' are you expecting this to be a generic logo for dMw that can be customised for each game, or did you mean 'division' within Star Citizen?
I was hoping to implement a generic logo for the whole of dMw that would be flexible enough to be both game-based (ARK, CS:GO etc.) but could also suit, for example, SC Divisions. However, it's not an absolute requirement.
This rough outline is something I've been trying to get my son to do further work on. I like the overall shape and it should scale well. I envisage the central boss area plus the three empty bars+circle to carry the game/division branding.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3591[/ATTACH]
Obviously it needs a lot of work but, in my head at least, it looks like it could be viable.

Looks like a good starting point. I'll ping it over to him and relay what you've said and see if he can come up with something SC specific, but with a view to maybe doing further customisations for other games and/or divisions.
A kick up the jacksie has prompted a bit more work from Frenzy.
I'm digging this concept. Comments?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3615[/ATTACH]
As stated previously, I see the centre area as a blank canvas for the different game sections within dMw or the different Star Citizen divisions.
Holy crap, I missed these updates. Apologies.
I like, and am happy to see developed. Can we get an example of the middle bit too? Would it shrink down to whatever size is needed?
My avatar is where Frenzy's effort ended up.
In other news ...
The college I work for has a Design & Technology faculty that have recently asked staff members for ideas to be used for the Year 9 (13/14 year-olds) end-of-year project. I have had a quick conversation with the faculty head to see if designing a gaming community's logo would be appropriate. He got quite excited as it has the word 'gaming' in it which he said would create a bit more enthusiasm.
What he wants from me is a design brief (happy if you guys want to contribute). I've told him I'll provide a prize if he wants to make it a competition - we'll be the judges should he agree.
Gets my vote :)
Yes, mine too.
Thanks for the offer Oldie but we'll supply the prize from Community Funds. However if you'd like to come up with something appropriate that'd be great (amazon vouchers or something?)
Whilst we at it our own masthead could do with a little revamp :)
Sounds good OB, thanks for sorting.
