imchaser Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Some inspiration for your considerations!Aeolus the God of Wind: Volunteering for the underwear association for third world countries. Please donate your used underwear to me.
imchaser Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Just say your friend ask you opinion on this logo and you do not know what that logo is for. I will also ask one or two friends to see if they detect sexual images at first look of the "bW" part.Ive asked a straight girl, she couldnt see the penis and butt. She only saw bW. I asked her to see properly, and its a gay forum. The most she can come out with is bJJ.Finally, suggest to drop the (.org). Just like facebook and google logo both do not include .com, I think we can leave out the .org from the logo.Before u made out your mind, may i humbly explain the reason why i include .org in the logo. lol.The reason facebook and google or the rest of the popular website's branding doesnt include the extension, is because the diference is their r using .com. This extension is so common and widespread that its a synonyms to www and the internet, most people doesn't even know the existence of other extension. .org are less popular, this is to avoid some new people going to the wrong site, which "blowingwind.com" is actually a spam website.One disadvantage is if put org will make BW sounds like some kinda Organization. but the decision is still up to u guys.

Guest Guest Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 design has certain lead time.What I would suggest if Imchaser would do a trail testing of the logo (with the different variation) on this website now.The longer time for discussion could mean going back & forth again.A logo must be unique, describable(impact on your memory). It must communicate(within a few secs).Also, the emotive aspect of the logo. How does it make u feel? We r now in Spore in 2012 (not in europe or in the 70s).Does it fit NOW? Also, all moderators should get together & decide. Afterall, u guys created & moderate this website.What ever u guys decide, we should accept & respect. Tks!

permanent-guest Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I wanted to retain the turquoise colour and especially the image of the cloud/sea creature(?) blowing wind, but simplify it. So here is the final work: :clap:

Hey chaser, how about adding a "y" after the ".org"? :twisted: OMG :clap: i didn't even see that coming. Very GOOD idea That awkward moment when you say goodbye and then walk in the same direction...
Clickclock Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 hmm I wonder hows it coming along? I draw sexy men, visit http://www.toastwire.tumblr.com click on 'My Artworks'. Willing to take on comissions
oralb Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Tks for asking, we have shortlisted 3 and seeking their approval to use their design. However one has yet to reply us, while 2 have given their approval.Once that's set, we will carry on the poll for the members to select the new logo. When I Think It, I Do It, I Win It!
Clickclock Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Imo I would say that you can just go ahead with the polling. The fact that the designer posted up a design onto that thread was a clear indication that he is willing to allow his designed logo to be used on the site. qedcwc 1 I draw sexy men, visit http://www.toastwire.tumblr.com click on 'My Artworks'.

Guest Guest Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 ups. Any update or can anyone still post their ideas here?
HendryTan Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 1. The mods discussed this logo upgrade issue internally and the decision was split.Some old timers would prefer we maintain the current logo or perhaps just do some small refinement to smoothen up the rough edges. This will preserve the identity of the community.2. In the end, we decided to KIV the logo upgrade issue.3. Our sincere thanks to all the graphics people who contributed time and ideas to help us.Sorry, we should have kept everyone updated.
Blissfull Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Maybe someone can vectorise the current logo? "Well, I didn't know it would come to this but that's what happens when you're on your own."
Blissfull Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Maybe something like this, a higher res vector version of the logo? (It's uncompleted though) Bern 1 "Well, I didn't know it would come to this but that's what happens when you're on your own."
Bern Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Thank you Impere, while the logo update is undecided, it was discussed that if someone can come up with a restored and enlarged version of our current logo, it should prove to be very useful as we only have the current-sized logo on hand.  I like what you have come up with Join the official BW Telegram Group Chat: https://bit.ly/frmbw

I'll try to finish that up though. "Well, I didn't know it would come to this but that's what happens when you're on your own."
SoSonni Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 to be honest i have never really paid attention to the logo and have always thought that it was just some kind of pixelated low resolution underwater view LOL Instagram |Â @sodamnsonniTwitter |Â @sosonni
Guest Guest Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 to be honest i have never really paid attention to the logo and have always thought that it was just some kind of pixelated low resolution underwater view LOLBecause its not even a logo to begin with. Its more like a banner made probably 15 years ago.
Blissfull Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Probably the best I can do, I can pass you the .ai files if you have any one volunteering to edit it. Mizterham and Bern 2 "Well, I didn't know it would come to this but that's what happens when you're on your own."
Guest Cute Boi Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Think the logo will look more better if it shows a handsome wind of god haha...
FSL019 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 How about a logo depicting many lovely guests
