Heya, as you can see by this thread Phearnun's doing work on faction custom content, we got any logo designs/ideas kicking about?

http://files.vector-images.com/clipart/rapiers_zh1.gifI don't think that image will work, but if someone can follow the URL somehow, or ask Maht, this is the only image I've seen to represent the Academy. It's a start. My own idea would be to include 'three steps'. Be in a series day, night, twilight thing, with the 'twilight' being prominent. Or maybe a blade, a mage staff or 'magick-y' thing, and a hand? All casting a shadow of some sort..... I suck at this sort of thing. haha To me, a Dancer uses three things to survive. This physical tools, this 'skills', and his wits. A three step combination of those things would be good to me.

URL won't open for me :/
What did you search/where did you go to find the image? I'll try rehosting it.

If that isn't the exact image *I can't remember off the top of my head*, then it's damn close from what I /do/ remember.

I could see this being the academy's symbol.
Triangles to symbolize the relation of trinity between Body, Mind and Connection to the Shadows. The white and black to contrast between Light and Dark and to remind dancers of the duality between these two entities. Yes they are dancers, but they are also living beings and while pursuit of the shadows is great, they must never forget who they are.
(Side note: I've never played a shadow dancer so I have no idea if that made sense or not.)

I'm all about a brainstorm of ideas at this point. Have at er people!!! =D
Once we have a number of ideas, we'll see what direction we're going in.

I kind of like this one I don't like this one- it looks too much like a bio hazard symbol.

Am I just a dunderhead? I can't tell a difference between the first two. But I love it!
Can you clean the rapiers up some so they match the rest of the overall feel?

I feel the logo should be something plain, hence I'm voting for pic proposed by Kephas. I could tweak it a bit if there is any need for that.
But generally I agree that no text should be involved.
Maybe we could make some kind of pool?

Tweak away, Nady! Flood the ideas! Just be sure credit to the original artist isn't lost.

I like the simplified ideas by Passionate Shadow better than the more complicated ones As for the sources: pic 2 and 3 - taken from linkpic 4- linkpic 5 - linkpic 6 - linkpic 7 taken from - linkpic 8 taken from - link

It has to be kept simple in order to translate well into the game. It was good that Analog posted the "no text" because that really won't work. You might take a look at the other faction things Pony is incorporating to get a feel for things such as size, line boldness, how intricate the design can be, etc.
Awesome ideas!

I'm a big fan of it. I see the TSA having a rather simple symbol as opposed to a coat of arms, personally.

Can you basically flip that upside-down, so that the triangle is pointing down instead of up? Then also angle the crescent so it's on the bottom half instead of top, but still on the right side? I hope that made sense, and I hope it looks as good as it does in my head. lol Actually, you could even leave that crescent and only flip the triangle. That might look good too. Just throwing out ideas.

I'm not sure what you meant about the ceescent, but it's a good idea to flip the triangle I'll do it when I have some free time (in 2015 most likely;) By the way, my personal fav is a.

Okay, I lied. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Here you are (I think I got what you were saying about the crescent!) d_2 And some other variations d_3 d_4

I like the crescent at the top more for some reason, so d_3 would be my choice. Though I think I like the original "d" more, with the triangle pointing up. With it pointing down looks too much like the male/female symbol to me. I don't 'dislike' the downward pointing one enough to vote against it though.

I like the down pointing arrow more, but don't dislike the up pointing arrow enough to vote against it. lol and I agree, crescent was a bad idea, it's better up top the way it was originally.

The crossed rapiers have always been a symbol of the Academy, since way way back from its founding. But I do like the new ideas.
