HRWiki:Logo redesign 2006
From Homestar Runner Wiki
- See the original, very long discussion.
This is the list of proposed styles for a new wiki logo. Click on each logo title to discuss merits or make suggestions. Feel free to add to this list, but please observe the logo redesign guidelines. Note that we are currently only holding discussion on the overall style of each logo; when we decide on a particular logo, we will then discuss nuances such as whether Homestar should blink, shading, minor background details, etc. For this reason, proposals do not need to be the exact size and shape of the current logo; we will resize them later. Also, if you want to keep the style of the current logo but update it in some way, please discuss this in the appropriate section of the talk page.
If you have a great logo idea but not the graphic design tools to make it yourself, post your idea here, and someone may try to make it.
The deadline for submitting logo proposals is Wednesday, 15 November 2006, and we will conclude discussion and establish consensus on Friday, 1 December 2006.

Logo redesign guidelines
- Logos must eventually be reformatted to ca. 150×150 pixels, so please consider these dimensions when you design a logo.
- If the title of your logo idea is {{TITLE}}, please upload it with the title "Logo_Redesign_{{TITLE}}.png" (or .gif, etc.)
- Include your design logo in the above table with the title and a brief description in alphabetical order. Also follow the format of the ID tags.
- Add a section on the talk page with your design title as the heading title, again, in alphabetical order.
- If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
