SRL Banner/Favicon [NEW]

[Coh3n]

I don't know how open you all are to any new ideas since the poll is closed, but I made a couple of permutations of Frement's triangle, and I wanted to share them.

The top two have the primary colors on the circles to represent SRL's color base. The first one has some reflections on it. To, well, represent our use of reflection as well. The last two have a similar color scheme to what Frement has put up.

I think the colours are cool, but the triangles are too thick and I don't like the text as much as Frement's. Not bad though.

Really? I felt that Frement's were too thin and empty. To each his own. As for the text, I do like Frement's as well. I could try again if you would like.

May as well give it a shot.

Case in point:



At small resolutions it looks quite thin and spidery.

Regardless, it is a nice logo; props to Frement. I don't think it is quite there yet though.

I'd have to agree with you there; however, I still have the old favicon in my browser.

For the actual browser Icon it's probably better if it has a small colored square to sit on. So play around with some colors as a background to see what works out.

What happened to Dervish's favicon?

He didn't provide one.

I though he added a gear favicon, but then I saw it was Runaway who posted it... nevermind then

I think this is the best solution. I really like the triangle honestly.

Well the gear was included in the banner, should have been implied that the gear was the favicon.

I have no object to trying the gear and see if that looks better. I just do not want to do the graphics work myself.

The problem is that they're all going to look bad small, 1: because they have not background so for some it might look good, and for other bad, 2: because they dont scale well, and at least for the images i was working with, they scale bad/dont look good zoomed in on even at the original resolution. I tried making it look kind of buttonish like some other favicons i have seen - , but i feel like it needs to be made as a vector image in the first place to make it look good at all resolutions.

It's nearly impossible to make it look good as a favicon.

does it need to be the srl logo then? a simple letter type deal is always less ugly at very small sizes.

Agreed, but on your previous point about vectors:

Vectors allow resizing while retaining the integrity of the image; which is very important for logos. I will re-make the gear as a vector, or whatever else needs to be, if it will help.

[Dan Cardin]

i personally, really liked your first, colored/beveled one the most. I got about 2 minutes into trying to make the gear vectory and then quit though :P

[euphemism]

I did as well, but no one else seems to. So, the question is: does the gear need to be re-done as a vector to be used as the favicon, or are we sticking with Frement's current one?

Perhaps we could re-do the gear too, and have a final vote for the favicon? As this was a combined poll for banner/favicon.

I suppose it could be done, but I don't think it will matter. Whatever ends up being used won't make everyone happy.

[euphemism]

I re-made the gear as a vector so that it can be re-sized to what is needed:

Is it faithful enough to the original?

No, whatever is chosen will not make everyone happy, but as long as it looks decent it will be okay.

[Dan Cardin]

looks great! favicon size?

When it's small it looks like more of a target than a gear though.

We can always use something like:

That looks pretty cool, but I'd rather see SRL in it rather than just the S. May be too crammed though.
