Ok, thoughts.

The two standout designs seem to be the typewriter font and magnifying glass ones. (I think the silent movie one is pretty fantastic, and think it would be funny to put on mafSepia or something, but not as a main logo.)

Magnifying glass:
Image
I like this one the best overall. I do think there are potential legibility issues with the same color text/magnifying glass, would have to see it at logo size to see if it's actually a problem though.

Typewriter:
Image
I like the font here best; the blood... eh, I could take it or leave it. I prefer differentiating Mafia and Scum by color rather than capitalization, but a single color does have its merits.

Image
Some combination of the simplicity of this with nsg's font, perhaps. The red looks too... thick or something in this one.

I'll think about it a bit more, but probably will put up a poll for which idea people prefer, and then we can tweak once that is finalized. (I think I'm pretty much decided against including the slogan.)

I don't like the fuzzy/scratched looks for 2 and 3, for what its worth, but I guess I'm in the minority

Maybe a rose for the "i" in Mafia, with the bloom cut off to make the dot.

Please make the top of the Silver one lighter. It's currently too dark =-/

Alright, I keep getting distracted, but I want to get moving on this before no logo becomes our official logo...

The two main ideas being considered are the "magnifying glass" logo and the "typewriter font" style. Please refer to this post above.


At this stage I'd like to get feedback from the site as a whole:

1. Which of the two ideas do you prefer? (Just the broad strokes ideas, not the specific details.)
2. If you dislike both, is there an idea that has been suggested that you prefer? (Or would you like to add a suggestion?)
3. For your preferred idea, what details are important to you? (For example, you may have an opinion on the color of the magnifying glass, if you like that idea better.)
4. For the other idea, are there details that might make it better? (For example, you may not prefer the magnifying glass, but like a certain style of magnifying glass better than the one in the example image.)

Please PM your responses and I will review them in about a week. Locking and stickying the thread until then.

Support for the magnifying glass is nearly unanimous, so we'll move forward with that. I'll put together details people mentioned wanting to keep/change and get in touch with our designers about making "final" images to vote on.

Sent compiled feedback to chamber (who originally posted the idea), northsidegal, and caledfwitch. I'm hoping to get a few variations to put to a final vote.

If you have experience in design and what to have a go at it as well, please let me know!

Ok, sorry again about the delays. I think we are basically at a point where the major design choices are decided, and we are just looking at picking the right font. Here are the ones that caught my eye in our PM discussion:

Image

(specifically 1 - which is the font used in the logo previously voted on - and 2, though if you have a strong preference for one of the others please feel free to let me know that)

Image

(we would go with a little more contrast on the magnifying glass for this, just an example of the distinct font choice)

Please PM me if you have an opinion, and I'll hopefully make a final decision in time for a logo Christmas present.
