Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 17:17, 7 August 2009 (UTC) I think we left this die, should we start again?

 

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...01:55, 10 August 2009 (UTC) This might be a better time to work on it, since it's closer to the American release. I've seen various logos running around...maybe someone wants to set up a sub-page with a poll and we can start from there?

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I don't want to hurt feelings here, but I really don't think that any of the current logos that have been posted here are good enough to be the official site logo. Out of all of our affiliates, do we not have anyone to make a good quality logo for us? Who made the logo for the FF wiki? Perhaps I'll just have to ask around more.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Ah, guys, I've got a buddy of mine working something right now. I'm helping him work on it and I think it's going to come out great. It should be finished soon.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 15:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC) I think that we should have a poll, like BebopKate suggested! does anyone else want that? I also think that we should just have a logo that's "simple and clean" :P like the french Wiki logo for example: clicky me! I recolored that logo red, and then I made another one with some shadow. here they are: (I don't have them a part of my talkbubble so the difference/shadow can be seen!)

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 15:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC) if we'll open up a poll, I'm gonna nominate those two*! *only the shadowy one if I can only nominate one :P

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Above is a screenshot of the wiki with a Roxas logo applied, that I think looks really great just like that. However, regardless of how good it might look, I suppose "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" must be written on it, so I plan to get "Kingdom Hearts" written across the top where his hair is using the font from the official Kingdom Hearts logo, faded in red to match the theme, and then just write wiki under that. I just need my friend to come online to finish the job, my internet crashed last night before I could get him to do it. Let me know what you think. (I'd also like to know if writing the name of the wiki is absolutely necessary for the logo, since it does say the name of our wiki in the option list below anyhow. If we can do without the text, I think it would look fine with just Roxas's face.)

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 18:50, 10 August 2009 (UTC) It looks good, GS. I think that we should have the text, because it kind of gets across that it's the way back to our "Home Page." @Xiggie: I like yours, but should we really have something so similar to what the French KH Wiki has?

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Well, I'll just wait for my friend to add the text, and I'll post it as soon as I can.

Azul81677 - "Ebil minds think ebily alike." - A collaboration between 2 very ebil minds TALK - 19:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC) I think we should wait for the logo from GS' friend. But, I mean it'll only be a month if we need to use the French KHWiki's logo.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 19:53, 10 August 2009 (UTC) I like yours GS, but I think that it is just too simple! I mean... it's just Roxas' face in black 'n' white! I think that adding "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" is absolutely necessary, and it will probably make it less "plain"... I personally think that having a logo similar to the french KH Wiki is OK, and like Azul said, it'll only be for a month... and it's not like they'll "sue" us or something :P

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Simple is good, and like I said, I was planning on getting the text done from the beginning. I personally don't care for the logo that the french wiki is using, and I also have to point out that the edges of the logo are sort of bad quality. Perhaps I'm just being picky, but either way, take into consideration that this is a Days theme, Roxas is more fitting.

Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. I personally love the logo we are using right now. -08:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

KrytenKoro - Click TALK - For "Wiki", use an upside-down m, and the i and k from the kingdom hearts logo. It'll look more continuous that way.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 17:06, 11 August 2009 (UTC) I turned that horizontal line into a heading so that the editing window will load faster. Just thought I'd let ya'll know. ;)

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} I got one made that looks just like the one we have now but in red.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} This is a Days theme though so I think it would make more sense to at least have Roxas in there. I'll have the other choices posted soon, but there really isn't any rush. I think someone should be looking into how we can get that countdown timer up right now.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - The three of us can never be torn apart, all right? I'll always find a way. TALK - When I really need you, Ven, I know you'll be there. — 18:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC) While this is "Admin Talk", I wanted to voice my opinion. Possibly add Roxas, Xion, and Axel to what we have like the long one with the Coded and BBS characters we had the other year? And maybe we could make this more Days-like by changing color and by removing Kairi and making Riku the Blindfold Riku?

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 19:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC) I'll ping ILHI about the countdown.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - Ven, Aqua... I'll find some way to make things right. TALK - This light... it's so warm. — 19:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC) I had given an embed code for a Days Coutndown....but apparently we don't use these?

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 02:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Thanks ILHI! You're incredible knowledge of coding has proven helpful and amazing once again.

KrytenKoro - "It's always best when the other chap is willing to die for his beliefs; you both have the same goal in mind." TALK - 02:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Something else I'd really like us to implement is like this. Do you see how it has logos in the top right to show which games it has appeared in? We could really use that.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}} Okay, so we have a timer figured out, and yeah, that feature would be just swell KK. Below is another logo that I created just messing around. I can probably get some work done to it, and it needs 'wiki' written in it, but I thought I might as well show it off as an idea.

KrytenKoro - "Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." TALK - Once it has "Wiki" added in the KH font, I think it would look perfect.

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 16:11, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Well that's more or less what I had in mind. I like it a lot ^^

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 20:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC) I like this one the best! :P just needs "Wiki" on it! oh, and about the countdown... all I see is an empty box... damm my mac!

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 23:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC) Ok, so it seems like we've got it all ready, minus a logo with the word "Wiki" on it. Would someone mind putting it all together once GS gets that logo done? Also, how long should we keep this theme going? I don't think that we should just revert back as soon as October comes, as people will be coming here for Days information for at least several weeks after the NA release of Days.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 23:42, 22 August 2009 (UTC) Maybe until December. Perhaps we could do a Christmas theme later on? Anyways, I'll get the logo finished by September.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 01:57, 23 August 2009 (UTC) Woo, Christmas!! :D Also, Birth by Sleep had an expected release date of December 31st. However, Nomura said that the game would miss its holiday time frame. Perhaps we could start a Christmas theme at the beginning of December, then fire up one for Birth by Sleep soon after Christmas. Also, thanks for the logo. It'll be good to have a countdown and theme going on for a good month.

Azul81677 - "Ebil minds think ebily alike." - A collaboration between 2 very ebil minds TALK - 02:08, 23 August 2009 (UTC) September's almost here! Yeah, it should run until X-mas. Heh, if we're going to have a BbS theme, we should start now ;}

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 02:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC) True, true. It did take us quite awhile to finally get everything for this theme situated. But before we jump into a Birth by Sleep theme, shouldn't we make sure that we've got everything all good and ready for the Days theme?

Azul81677 - "Ebil minds think ebily alike." - A collaboration between 2 very ebil minds TALK - 02:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC) lolz, I was joking.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 03:25, 23 August 2009 (UTC) Oh, haha!

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 19:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC) Just thought I'd let you know that I plan on having the logo finished today.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 01:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC) Sounds good! I'm excited to see it!

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 22:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC) So, it's been awhile. I'm not trying to rush you, GS, but is the logo ready yet? I think that we were hoping to have it ready by September so we could have that countdown going for at least a month.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 16:52, September 1, 2009 (UTC) I want to get this done today, but every attempt I make at getting the logo done right fails. Here's what I've got.

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 16:52, September 1, 2009 (UTC) Two problems with it. One, I can't get wiki written on it without it looking bad, and two, it looks too pink and not red enough for the layout. I was thinking that maybe we could just use the red version of our current logo for now, but I don't know.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 19:31, September 2, 2009 (UTC) If it looks too pink, you just alter the colors! I just did that, and added 'Wiki' on it! The KH Font looked horrible, so I tried using some other fonts, and here are my top two:

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 19:31, September 2, 2009 (UTC) I think that we should use a different font for the 'Wiki', like they did on the FF Wiki [1]

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 21:26, September 2, 2009 (UTC) Sounds like a plan. I think that either will work, so let's just pick one and set up the theme! We need to get this set up; it's already September!

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 04:09, September 3, 2009 (UTC) I'm beginning to think the word wiki is just not meant to be in a KH logo xD! I like the font in the first logo but somehow I like the second's logo font color better, yes I r ebil. But DTN is right, we should add this ASAP, including that countdown. I'm thinking that's admin job though, as if someone else tried (*cough*me*cough) might end up rooning the coding D8 (that, and I think it's protected? idk)

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 04:54, September 3, 2009 (UTC) Hey Xiggie, would you mind giving me the logo in red but without 'wiki' written on it?

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 16:35, September 3, 2009 (UTC) here you go:

Firaga44 - Dissidia is awesome! TALK - I'll be playing crisis core over there*points to a corner*. i like xiggie's one the best

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 19:42, September 3, 2009 (UTC) I want to try something, to see what you guys think. If you dislike it, it doesn't have to be permanent, but it's already September and I think I should give this a shot.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 20:12, September 3, 2009 (UTC) I like the red skin... but shouldn't we use the image we were working with? Anyway, may I (or someone else) update the main page? (based off Azul's concept)

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 20:20, September 3, 2009 (UTC) I was going to use it, but everything just looks too red. The image is better in color. I think it looks good like this. If you think we should add the title, then I guess we should, but it isn't like we're going to be using that image forever, and you'd have to be a moron to not know that you're on the KH wiki. Let's just leave it for a little while and see what people think.

Xiggie Buy / Sell — Welcome! What do you wanna do? Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 20:24, September 3, 2009 (UTC) EDIT CONFLICT x3 Ok, if you think so... anyway, you shouldn't had just copied Azuls homepage concept! we've made some improvements to the page since Azul made that thing! (improvements such as the card-category thingy)

}}

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 20:30, September 3, 2009 (UTC) I did make some changes. I don't think we should use the card-categories, as the cards showed up in bad quality, and some of them were edited images. Maybe you can be creative and think of a way to sort things using a Days inspired theme.

HeartofOblivion Talk to me! — There was something important... Oh yes! I've decided on the pancakes. Blueberry! Can you get me some cotton candy? Blue, not PINK !!!! — 20:34, September 3, 2009 (UTC) What about using Panel Images? They don't have to be as big as the cards in the last category box thing.

Yer mom - SOMOS HOMBRES O PAYASOS!!!! TALK - 20:36, September 3, 2009 (UTC) Hate to put it this way but the card thing was something the community decided, you can't just change it without asking people's consent. Besides that, II think the red used is a bit bright but it's ok. The image as a log looks pretty and yes, someone would have to be pretty dumb to not notice they're in the KH wiki but the point of having a logo was to identify the wiki in other sites and maybe use it as our affiliates button no? Edit conflicted x.x

LotsoBearLover - Welcome to sunnyside! TALK - You've got a playdate with destiny!" I just got back from school and I like the new wiki layout 8D

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 20:42, September 3, 2009 (UTC) Sorry, I was away when the card-category thing was decided, so I didn't know it was a community decision. It can easily be fixed. Going on to the logo not having a title, like I already said, this is a temporary logo, not our official site logo. By the time we get a good logo with the writing on it, it'll be time to remove the layout. I'm sorry if this isn't what you expected, but everyone wants this done, and I'm trying my best with the time I have.
