Title: Elk Favicon
Post by: Xarcell on February 06, 2014, 12:28:09 pm
Your favicon looks a little strange. I made one based off the first logo I made for Elkarte, and better matches the theme. If you like it, I can submit it to Github as a PR.

I may also be open to suggestions.

May be it is just me, but I like the current favicon and Green-Black combination in light variant. I think we can bundle blue-black and green-black as different variants. Of course no default theme can satisfy everyone.

PS : My intention is not to downplay OPs helpful suggestion and the time spent for it.

It should match the default theme used. The default theme was changed recently and I was just offering to help out a little.

Used "segoe ui bold" but I'm not sure if it's the right font for a logo..

Very true. I honestly admire your intentions .

There is going to be a slight delay. Due to PC troubles, I have decided to do a factory restore on my windows 7 PC. I also intend to install Ubuntu. So need a few days until I can get back to this.

Apparently it's gonna take a day or so just to upload all my photos to the cloud, so I'll work on this in the meantime.

What about this?

Dunno, I tend to get used to what I see.

What I can say it that the horn is a bit... strange, it gives an ambiguous impression: I'm not sure if it is a horn or a kind of tree, probably because it's too vertical.

ETA: and sorry for the late reply.

Quoteor a kind of tree
Nah, not a tree.. a cactus.... probably a saguaro (hint, hint)..  :D

@Xarcell, sorry for my stupid comment that's an insider joke ..

Cactus lol...

Now that you said that, I no longer see an unshedded elk horn, but rather a cactus. :P

Personally, my favourite so far is the favicon on this site.

The Elk of the last one looks very nice! :D

I like #2 and #3. The first one looks too much like cheesy reindeer antlers for Christmas time.  :)

#2  -- liked this one the best but my first impression was that the antlers were actually flames. Did you try orienting the antlers, left and right as they would appear if facing an elk?

#3  -- very nice but as for an image/logo etc. there can be psychological nuances with the elk facing away from the word and facing left. Humans are particular about such things and facing away from the name could imply dis-unity of a sorts.

The second one is very hard to read for me, especially in it's smaller size as one of the thumbnails.

Thanks for the feedback :D ... was just playing around a bit to see if something would resonate with others.   I'll mess around with these again when I have some time.
