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?

  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.

  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.

blue.png 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!)

  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.)

  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?

  Well, I'll just wait for my friend to add the text, and I'll post it as soon as I can.

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.

Untitled-1.png 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

  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.

I personally love the logo we are using right now.

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

  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.

  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?

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.

  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.

  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.

  Maybe until December. Perhaps we could do a Christmas theme later on?

Anyways, I'll get the logo finished by September.

  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.

  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?

  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.

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)
