Arrow768 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We recently changed our discord icon. Some of you have voiced that they are not happy with the new discord icon (which is our lobby screen icon from the exodus) Therefore I encourage you to create and post alternatives. Once we have a few of them together we´ll do a poll and see which one is the best. Do not post if you do not have something to contribute. Requirements for the icon/logo: Currently we do not have a server image/logo, that could be used as the base for the discord icon Therefore we´ll extend this to also look for a logo that can be used for other places aswell (such as the forums, the wiki, ...) The logo/icon should be to uniquely identify Aurora Station. Pretty much everything goes there. (The words "Aurora" or any other acronym is not required to be present in the logo) You are also free to submit multiple different colour variants of the same icon/logo. The only requirement we have is that there needs to be a serious attempt at creating a icon/logo. Quote Link to comment
Coalf Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Could there be a further specification? Mainly: 1) What colors should we use. 2) Is there an image/logo that can be used in the logo itself or was there ever an idea for an NSS Aurora logo similar to how every other major server has one. 3) What should people consider when suggesting a logo, like, are the words "AURORA" required? An Acronym? Etc. Quote Link to comment
Scheveningen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Uh, anything other than the toilet one. I've already seen really dumb justifications for how it's representative of a classic Aurora moment/you have to have 4000 IQ to really understand it apparently, but it is an old server icon and you know what Kylo Ren says about old shit. "Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. It is the only way to become what you were meant to be." If individuals leave over the server icon being changed that's equally hilarious and sad but the change is still necessary. Quote Link to comment
MoondancerPony Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Goret suggested using the TCFL propaganda poster and I like that. It's iconic, it's clearly relevant to Aurora, and it's easily identifiable/unique. Quote Link to comment
Goret Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We could put the TCFL poster, or a varient of it. At least, it represent a bit our server instead of "lol toilets blood". Quote Link to comment
legitimatespaceperson Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Suggestion one: Put a rainbow overlay on top of the toilet. Suggestion two: Spoiler Run a poll to see if the icon even needs to be changed - are we sure this isn't a minority opinion? Suggestion three: See attached. Edited June 9, 2019 by legitimatespaceperson Found a good icon for #3. Quote Link to comment
Snakebittenn Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I would also like to suggest one of the Legion posters. Quote Link to comment
Scheveningen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 holy shit that diona on the flagpole. Literally just put the diona on the flagpole as the server icon and call it a day. Quote Link to comment
geeves Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I'm definitely backing the TCFL poster. Quote Link to comment
Scheveningen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Keep in mind that the discord server icon centers the image, so you won't get to see the doona noomph on the flagpole if the entire image of that poster is taken. This is why we should only take the photo of the doona noomph as a legionary. Quote Link to comment
Snakebittenn Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We could use the IPC-centric poster. Quote Link to comment
Butterrobber202 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I'm okay with the snowflake, because thats actually fantastic. I like the TCFL Poster as well, but the only issue I have is that its yellow which tends to be pretty annoying to look at, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment
Coalf Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The TCFL is terrible for the same reason the ship is. It's an art piece. All of the details are going to be completely lost, with the letters being turned into an unreadable mess. While yes, it's going to be more distinct it's still going to be incoherent for any newcomer. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the art itself but it's not viable for a branding, frankly, the brand logo we want to design here should be re-usable and possible to be pasted anywhere and on anything. Similar to the CM logo, Baystation logo, Vore station logo etc. Quote Link to comment
geeves Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) I'm no Sleepy, but this is a quick mock-up I made. (Credits to Sleeby for poster) This is how it'll make the server icon look. (Credits to Moon for screenshot) Edited June 9, 2019 by geeves added screenie Quote Link to comment
Scheveningen Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 That's really good. My vote is for that. Quote Link to comment
MoondancerPony Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) I cropped the TCFL poster to just the nymph and a bit of the Vaurca and it works well as a server icon. Actually, Geeves' works better: Edited June 9, 2019 by MoondancerPony geeves Quote Link to comment
NerdyVampire Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 PunPun with a monkey mask. I think that's something everyone can enjoy and associate with. Quote Link to comment
kyres1 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The republic of biesel flag, maybe? Quote Link to comment
ben10083 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 for the TCFL poster, I greatly prefer the first iteration, which is very similar to current poster but with one major difference... Quote Link to comment
Carver Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Something humorous and downright silly like the monkey or snowflake in previous posts would be wonderful, and would keep the tone of the current icon. Quote Link to comment
UnknownMurder Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Here. I did something creative for people of Aurora Station on my free time. Please appreciate my work. Quote Link to comment

Please appreciate my work. I appreciated your work. Then the longer I looked at it, and the more time passed, I appreciated it more. Then I thought, "Free real estate" and added the Beisel flag to see what it looked like. I thought it was pretty neat, but it's your work so it's your call whether this concept should be added to the pool. Also a picture of how it looks on discord Edited June 21, 2019 by Conspiir Added the discord pic Quote Link to comment
UnknownMurder Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Since you are asking me and I shall answer. I'm okay with this alterations. I'm not too offended or picky. I just wanted to put my art out since no one other than Geeves was willingly to put forth a small amount of effort by using an already used art to further their agenda whereas I put forth more serious effort by starting over from scratch and building it together as I go along. Biesel logo is okay as long as Administration is fine with it. @Arrow768, what do you think? Quote Link to comment
Skull132 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The one proposed by @Conspiir is waaay too messy, visually. There's 4 elements for your eyes to focus on, and they're all in their a different visual style. Even the original is leaning towards that: the text and the NanoTrasen logo do not match at all. And the logo + text do not match the sprites. Another issue with the TC torch specifically is its likeness with the Bay12 Torch symbol. Which is why I would rather avoid it. Quote Link to comment
