Rule 1: Only default .grf's
Rule 2: You must not be able to see if it's TTDP or OTTD.
Rule 3: It has to show atleast 2 new features that both games have. (Canals, build on slopes. etc...)

I think these are quite good rules.

Code: Select all

<?php
$images = array('image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', 'image3.jpg');
echo '<img src="images/' . $images[rand(0,count($images)-1)] . "\" style=\"your-style: here;\" />\n";
?>

Random php image thing ftw!

Or we could make it more complicated by making a php script act like an image

Caching is a nice thing...

I did a fixed alignment version...

And a UK (UKR and UKRS) version.

As I may have mentioned before in this thread, or on IRC at least, I'd prefer it if the logos weren't necessarily biassed towards a particular newgrf set or anything (although the default TTDPatch and OpenTTD base sets, I will accept). I would also like the logos to be not too complex or cluttered. Also, don't forget that there are actually two different logos for the TT theme and non-TT theme, four if you include the xmas theme and easter theme:

I don't guarantee that I'm going to change the logo, I guess it'll depend on what you lot submit. Please don't be offended or upset if I do in the end decide not to change the logo.

One thing I probably will do is realign the current one, though.

That bridge is so unsafe...why does it go over the canal but not the rail?
It should reflect TTD common sense, and not realism.

How come I never saw the easter theme, while I have been here for like 3 years?

Why not use the new graphics from the blender-thread? I think they're rreally nice...

The logo doesn't need to reflect the current state of the game, right?

Posted: **08 Jan 2007 11:41**

it needs to reflect both ttdp and openttd, IE you arent supposed to tell which it is.

Massive bandwidth wasteage. With each image as it's own URL, you can cache each image seperately for, perhaps, many days or so. This is an irrelevant discussion though.

P.S The image would be corrupt because of the newline at the start of the file

Well, I think it was used in 2004, but I've since forgotten to use it.

Not very easy at present. With phpBB 3.0, something like that may be possible, should I want to implement it. In many ways though, I'd prefer a consistent theme over the whoel forums.

But not needed.
I glady give up caching for a random image on load.

Not needed, eh? Let's see how many page views there are a month, hmm... according to awstats, 1,277,585 "pages" were loaded (I'm assuming this is just meaning PHP files). Now, the logo is presently 8KB. Let's say that the logos on average would be 10KB. That's an extra 12GB of bandwidth in just the logo, whereas if it was only loaded once per session, it'd save a lot more.

I would say caching is a very good thing indeed. It's also annoying to see images loading every time if your connection is a bit slower. (Annoyed me no end on 56K).

Probably late in this discussion but the original logo is way too crowded. It needs to be something simple.

Also not maglev if possible; most people do not like it. How about electric rails? (Although there you could see if it was TTDP or OTTD because in TTDP the pylons alternate, in OTTD they're on the same side).

Oh and about my pic well you shouldn't have looked so serious and shouted "NO NEW GRF!" as i said it's a mockup if you want a logo worthy one look at my pic and make it yourself with necesary adjustments... geez
