Yes. Something along that line, incorporating the letters of the icon into the logo. I see little people.

Ok. Maybe we/I should write a style/logo guideline for Widelands where for example the color codes are defined. Here an rough scratch: Widelands green: HTML notation: 388020 Red: 56 Green: 128 Blue: 32 Widelands brown: HTML notation: 803820 Red: 128 Green: 56 Blue: 32 Widelands gold: HTML notation: c09438 Red: 192 Green: 148 Blue: 56

That is an excellent idea. It would help graphic artists (myself especially) maintain a consistent look throughout the project (i.e. game, editor and website). If you would care to create a catalog of the color codes we currently utilize in our standard graphics, that would be very much appreciated. We can discuss at a later time how and where that information will be made available for reference. I see little people.

Here is a representation of the other option I was trying to describe (i.e. incorporating the letters of the logo into the icon): It would be advantageous I think to keep a copy of these alternate logos in the media library for future use if we can't find an immediate application for them. I see little people.

Next try:
I would suggest one of the little worker graphics for the icon. I think this would look really cool. Edited: 2010-12-29, 23:06

Very good way of presenting it! I like it also , the only thing that looks a bit strange is the "NDS" in the first logo that fades to a darker dark (shadow?). That somehow catches my eyes. Great work!

I thought it would make it easier to read. It seperates it from the "ide".

Yes, fraang, I like it, too. If you wish to use the shading on the "NDS", let's make it consistent and shade the "A", as well. Nice work! Now to put them to use. How is the barbarian Coat of Arms coming along? That IS the topic of this thread after all. I see little people.
