@lafayette aren't more or less finished with the logo part tho? the current one we can all agree is not as good as and dilutes our existing branding right?

As I said, I conceptually prefer the current one (which you are showing here) over what proposed at this topic so far. My suggestion (to anyone) is remaking it in a polished manner (not too pixellated, the main body of the figurine being neither blurred nor transparent and with no shadows cut). Also, I think it would be better for the figurine to be a bit bigger relatively to the rest: enlarging it by about 25%.

I mean something like this:

Personally I would say that changing the basic logo of TripleA is a bigger deal and should wait for a time when/if the game gets a real facelift, aka UI or engine upgrade.

But I also think that the current image is unprofessional looking and screams "this is an amateurish game" rigth in the face of newcomers. Thats why I yet again throw my proposal back in the hat. That is to just use @ubernaut old image in an outlined version:

Here are files to toy around with: TripleA-New-Logo.zip The above has shadows added.

i think we are all looking for the same ultimate goal here so if we have to burn the existing vote and start over in a more agreeable fashion i have no objection. again i thought we were under the gun so that might have been a bit rushed.

Key & Peele - Text Message Confusion

I would like another thread with say images 1 to 5 numbered 1 to 5 for voting, so we vote for the one we like the best.

Please don't tell who's is who's as I don't want to know, as I have not followed this thread closely.

If we are voting for two images, then another thread please with numbered options.

i have tried to be welcoming and positive and stick strictly to the facts in our discussions about this topic as i know that people can be touchy when it comes to critique but honestly dude the way you keep trying to drag this discussion into the mud you are basically on my last nerve personally.

to borrow a phrase from you, maybe…

You simply don't like that nobody mentioned your designs. That's it.

since

So far consensus (organised by you the moderator) has been? 4 votes? Oh no 3 if we exclude yours. Is this serious?

Post Title: Proposed Branding Change for TipleA Your Vote is Needed!

Post Content: there has been a discussion here about the home screen getting a visual upgrade:

https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2312/main-screen-logo-needed/

the discussion has turned into a discussion about the logo/icon for this app. the question is if we should change to one of several alternatives provided by @MirkoBruner :

or stick with the version i did a number of years ago based on our original low res icon/logo

for reference and the folks that haven't been around long enough to remember the original it is this:

since we need a consensus here to move forward we would appreciate all of your replies and votes here.

Tanks!

You criticise without reason (i told you this already many months ago), it is just your personal taste. Should not be working like that. You should be able to state the whys the hows and what to do.

um i stated my case after you made these statements before and gave my reasons you never responded here:

https://forums.triplea-game.org/post/44365

at no point do i reference my taste there but did refute the issues you raised in earlier posts to this thread

Again, it doesn't work like that, the equation my design opinion weighs the same as the one of a plumber (on a logo matter) is a no no.

talk about getting personal without reason, i have made a living a designer for over 20 years now but please go on about how things should work.

You simply don't like that nobody mentioned your designs. That's it.

so far the only ones expressing their opinions on this subject are you, me, Lafayette and @butterw who has expressed the exact sentiments i had and also received no counterargument here:

https://forums.triplea-game.org/post/50399

again this is not personal i add smilies because tone are often difficult to express in a text-only format.

If my designs (again all of them, not only those two)

your logo treatments are all basically the same the only difference i see is that you are providing an option with and without a separate 't' and then with and without the circle backing even though i disagree that all of these should be considered rather than picking one you think is the best of your designs i will include your entire set of logo alternatives in my post.

Let the community decide isn't always the best choice to do.

this is how open source projects work there is no better way to decide when there are differing opinions. i will accept the verdict of the community i hope you would as well.
