My god.
I predicted the future.....
....
I'm a bucking genie. I was thinking of doing this exact thing myself - to make a replacement for the logo....

Imma have a go at this. Yay!

You can, but make a static version.

Keep in mind that animated GIFS only support binary transparency, so the edges won't look as smooth as a transparent PNG. Also note that GIFS can only support a maximum of 256 colors, anything in between will be lost or dithered.

Whelp. There goes my chance of winning.

Now about the icon, Maybe Block's cutie mark?
Tom_EN said something on the server about changing it, so yeah.

Well I have no artistic skills, so I'll put it in writing:
How about we replace the sleeping Rainbow with a Sleeping Blockwork, so keep the Cloud
I'm really eager to know your excuse for Blockwork to be able to cast walking on cloud spell while sleeping

I'm sure that doesn't matter in this situation......

Alrighty, I was gonna get on with the logo soon anyway. Ideas, ideas~
Also, can we submit more than once?
#13
Posted 29 June 2014 - 04:38 PM
Yes, you can submit as many times as you like.

I wouldn't give up; excessively complex vector logos are just as bad as overly simplistic ones. (Not to mention it's just a bunch of stock cloud vectors that anyone could slap together)

Preferably larger; in fact a vector file would be ideal.

(Btw, i'm worrying... i'm kinda losing ideas for my logo... Tawm, can you finalise her cutiemark pls?)
I am going to attempt to redesign her cutiemark to better fit the design of the winning entry after the competition ends. I'm not making a new one now.

Wait what, Blockwork's qt isn't final?
Ffffff

Forget I ever said anything. Her cutiemark is not gonna change. I didn't expect that many people to base their design around her cm.

It looks like a Google Chrome Promo
#24

Don't forget the .com.
Now might also be a good time to mention that I've always hated Blockwork's cutie mark, not only does it look too much like the Google Chrome logo, picking colors based off our server ranks is just so cheesy and uninspired. So, not a fan of the red/yellow/green/white.

Why not make her cutiemark some sort of clockwork design to go with her name? Maybe a couple of gears working together to symbolize how members work together on the server to make Equestria or a clockwork block sort of like the second image below to make it minecraft for the 'block' and the gears for 'work.' That one could be a little too intricate though, especially if a people are expected to replicate it. The last image looked pretty interesting to me if we just used the biggest gear and the smaller gear inside it or something similar to it.
Seems like it makes more sense with her name and it could be explained decently enough to fit with the server's theme of working together.

Would you rather rainbow colours, instead of that?
I'll base more of my colours of her coat and mane colours, and some on her eye colour. But i was thinking about adding in rainbows somewhere too :I
By the way, the background for the forums i.e. cloudsdale theme = will that be permanent? I'm asking this so i can make a design that suits the background too.

You've definitely got something here, but the issue is really that we need something simple for it to be conventional MLP:FiM style. Maybe it could just be one or two squares decorated to look like cogs?
Cutie marks are so tricky, ff.

Yes, if they change it we riot!

My original plan was to redesign her cutiemark based on the winning entry so that the two would complement each other when displayed together - I didn't expect that many people to start designing their favicons around her CM however. So would you guys rather have a cutiemark designed after a wining logo has been chosen or for me to go ahead and create a new cutiemark now?
As for the Cloudsdale theme, that will most likely stay the same and not go anywhere. New themes are a possibility but it's unlikely that they will be added any time soon since it takes a great deal of time and effort to make a theme.

If new themes are ever made, can we have the option to switch?

are we allowed to submit a sketch, just incase if we are not fast enough at vectoring?
Would that count?
#32
Posted 04 July 2014 - 01:09 AM
If you want a sketch at the top of the page, sure. ![]()
I guess if it's good enough though and manages to get the votes and you can complete it a few days after, it should be okay.

You can try, I doubt it would stand much of a chance though.

Might as well throw this out there. Procrastination will be the death of me.

The font is based on Minecraft's font.

I assume Blockwork's magic matches her eyes like most ponies.

I think we need more horseshoes around here.

Oh well, I didn't get the logo finished. :/
