Forum:Proposed new logo

As hinted at the end of this forum, I'm looking to prepare The Sims Wiki for a theme that's reminiscent of The Sims 4. To start off with, I'd like to propose that we adopt a new logo of which I have created myself.

I feel that our current logo has served us well for the past few years and I'm thinking that maybe it is time for a change, as a new coat of paint doesn't hurt. I thank Erry for the time and effort he has put into our logo.

I'd like to note a few things about my proposed logo:
 * The imgur image is indeed of a higher resolution than it would be if we adopted it. I did that deliberately so it's easier to work with and guaranteed to produce an optimal outcome.
 * While the high-res version contains some jaggies, they're less pronounced when scaled to a lower resolution (see here).
 * I've deliberately gone for a basic, TS4-esque design on the logo. Less is more.
 * I'm willing to provide, on request, the GIMP project file (.xcf) for the logo should somebody want to adapt it for whatever purpose.

I haven't made a fanon namespace-specific logo because not only have I not got around to it but I also don't think we really need one. That logo reads "The Sims Fanon Wiki" yet that's a separate entity and could honestly be confusing for new users. We're still The Sims Wiki regardless of whether we host fanon or not and that's not changing anytime soon. Of course if there is consensus to keep the fanon logo then we can cross that bridge later.

I know we sometimes do theme-based stuff without community input but I've chosen to go this route so I can hopefully get a wide range of opinions on this (hopefully!). Though I did show an in-progress version of the exact same logo to some of the IRC users a little while back to a favourable response.

So what's everybody's thoughts? 14:40, January 12, 2014 (UTC)
