thats got my vote good work

[Harold]

Luke's proposal is astonishing! Clean and simple. Very Web 2.0 what ever that means

I'm in favor of that one too ... however I'd like to see a version without the artsy 'S' in 'forums'.

[EGNX]

Thanks for the comments so far

Slight tweaking...



And one for Harold!

Both work for me. 8-)

with the aircraft is better 8-)

EGNX, I love the last version, might try having the viation the same size as Sim though. Otherwise you're creating a whole new logo, inconsistent with the current one. Otherwise FABULOUS!
P.S. I love the stylized s...

with the aircraft is better

It's not a matter of which one is better, J. I think that the one I requested is a little easier for the eye to look at; I feel that in the one with the stylized 's' your eyes jump all over the place. I like the "Apple's Glass Table' design but if you keep adding features to the logo, you not only move away from the original design (and thus you are basically creating a new one) but are creating a 'restless' logo. You should keep in mind that you'd want to design a logo that is strong & clear and recognizable at first sight but keep in mind that you must never deviate from the original design. Think Microsoft, or what ever other brand that you come up with that has their name as a logo. You'll never see it change unless in case of a complete corporate re-branding. Those logo's are always the same, strong and clear and instantly recognizable.

That is what the first version (on top of the forums now) lacks. Although it is recognizable, it makes your eyes jump all over the place, not to mention that I'm still trying to figure out what is in the gray background ...

I love the stylized s

Of course you can love it ... but does it work marketing wise? Not to mention from a design perspective


@ Luke: try to space the tagline so that it aligns with the main logo and try a version that does not have the outline in the font. In that perspective I think the original design was a little easier.

Remember, most of the time: Less is more

And as Danny suggested make the 'viation' and 'sim' the same font size and you've got your self a winner in my opinion!

I have to admit the aircraft is, in my opinion, the way to go. Yes maybe a bit of re-branding. But I think it fits the topic of this whole site much better then just the logo and SIMVIATION. To me its very pleasing to the eye and presents the logo from left to right, almost like a skywriter.

Im not a big fan of the text underneath the logo, but using a sliced image exported in HTML would make sense. The text looks like navigation why not use it as such to direct visitors into the forum. Using a sliced image would not compromise the design of the logo at all. This can be done very easy in Image Ready. Without a navigation path it is just clutter in the design.

Just my 2 cents for what it is worth

[JSpahn]

Luke has my vote at the moment, fits in brilliantly, simple, effective and great to look at!

Masternerd's design is brilliant aswell though, but the simplicity of Lukes just takes it for me.

Thanks for the complement, I agree with you better is better and Luke has it right now

[Alonso]

Yup, I love Luke's design and have no problems with the stylized "S"

[spitfire boy]

There's only one problem I can see with Luke's; the text under the main logo looks a bit faint. I think it needs to be a little clearer. Still, it's a fantastic looking thing!

P.S. Love the stylized 'S'

Luke - I'd be very happy to go with your design! (Capt Hammond would be a close 2nd in my opinion)

Remember you were only just pipped with the main SimV logo -

Would it be possible to clean this up (get the text size right & make the sub text a LITTLE more visible) & present it in both stylised/non stylised  's' high quality versions?

That would be great !

Thank you!
