Hi guys,

I think OSR website could use some graphists work to create ourselves a visual identity: a logo, some nice illustrations from here and there.

Before some drawing can be made, we need to gather some ideas on what we would like.

Feel free to shoot ideas there.

Just thought we could have fun pictures for our 404 and 403 pages.

403 could be a forbiden move played on a board and 404 a ver bad move with a text: 'this is not the move you are looking for' or something.

Hey Adam,

I will repeat here the thought I said privatly:

  • I really like your work. Thanks !
  • I Think the white "Room" on the back is a little hard to read on white background.
  • The "p" and "y" letter can make think OSR is a mess. Again, in a way since OSR is and will be for quite some time a work in progress, I am not sure that's a real issue.

Just thoughts so people can start sharing ideas.

Note: I edited your post to have the picture showed.

I will start a poll for that.

I think we would need on square one for small icons and avatar and a "banner/header" too.

The n°1 to 4 are banner/header type and n°5 and 6 are avatar in my opinion.

So I think I will start 2 polls actually.

Makes sense?

Small questions:

  • Can you try rendering a n°5 with the light just a little more straight (in front). That way we might see the shadow letters a little clearer.
  • Why is n°4 blur in the front?

I have updated the original post regarding the two issues. But do not take those as a finished product, once we decide on the concept it can and will be polished further, those were just quick ideas, but I didn't spend too much time on either to avoid spending too much time on an image that will eventually not be used :).

And if a poll shall be created "I don't like any of those" must also be an option. Maybe we might find someone with a little more experience with logo design still... :D
