Because having a logo depicting all transport devices would make a logo too 'full' and busy imho. But you're welcome to choose a ship as the dominant elementHyronymus wrote:Why would we want trains to be dominant? I think you've stumbled upon the classical error of many transport simulations by stating this. Why can't we at least develop a game with more equal transportation means? And why can't we have 4 logo's that each depicts one means of transportation?

I specificly wrote 'And why can't we have 4 logo's that each depicts one means of transportation?'. That is (given we have 4 means of transportation) 1 means of transportation on every single sign.DarkVater wrote:Because having a logo depicting all transport devices would make a logo too 'full' and busy imho.

There's too much writing in Purno's concept. However, I think he's onto something.
Substitute the writing for pictures (i.e. replace 'Plane' with a plane icon) and consolidate them think 3 signs like in this terrible ascii art:

You're saying I'm a Dominion spy, and don't even know it! - Dr. Bashir
That's the Joker in my avatar, not me. No wait it is me.
For a website, a width but thin logo would be the best to use, I think. For the in-game start-up screen, or whatever, it doesn't really matter.

Better but the "Transport Empire" text is too small in relation to the signs, IMHO. Might be better off placing the direction signs side by side and scaling the label sign to make it twice as large.DominionSpy wrote:Based on Purno's original idea and charlieg's modification, I came up with this.

As you probably allready know I think that it is not a good idea to include a symbol for every transport mean that the game offers in the logo.
I don't think the idea of choosing one transport mean trains or ships or any sort as the symbol that shows that this is is a transportgame.
Now over to my latest idea. Which is a quite simple logo.
Have a look at the pictures and come back here again. And read about my thoghts with the logo.
The arrow at the last e in Empier symbolices growth of your empire and moving of things (aka transport). Other poistive things can be assosiated with the uppwards arrow.
Note that the computer drawed version isn't finished. Perhaps someone with a Wacom can make a better arrow. Also perhaps ther should be som simple backgorund with a simple bumpmap or so.

That's just so undistinctive and boring though.
What about this.
What about this.
- It's simple
- It conveys what TE is about (transport)
- It's based on something you can identify with transport (a sign)
- The lettering is still the main component, not dominated by the sign

Btw it would look a lot better if tweaked by somebody who has the original stuff. I just hacked that together from the image DominionSpy posted.
The lettering needs to be a bit bigger, as does the gap between the top of the sign and the lettering.

Here, tweaked it slightly. I'll leave it at that, and hope somebody else takes the idea forward.

Ehm... charlieg, I like your logo, but you know, there's an EDIT button which lets you edit your message, in case you forgot something or have something to add, so you don't have to make 3 posts

I don't think it's suitable. The purpose of my/Purno/DominionSpy's logo efforts were based on signs. That "arrow-e" would be out of place.Grunt wrote:Just curious - what would charlieg's latest logos look like with zuu's proposed arrow-e design in the text?

Agreed. TBH, I don't really like the arrow-e idea... sorry.
