I've approached Frenzy. I'll let you know his response.

Looking around ... love this guy's work.

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

Some more of his work: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009791682389

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.

Frenzy's sketches for consideration.

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.

Did we do this?
