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?
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.
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.
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!)

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?
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
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)
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.

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.
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.
Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— 20:24, 14 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.
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.

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?

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.
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.
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:
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)
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.
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.

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)
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.

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?

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.

I think that we should keep the card thingy, but use gear sprites instead of the cards!
So, should I hop to it?

We shouldn't have procrastinated so much *cries*
ANYWAYZ... if you put it that way I guess it's fine, I just don't like to see the work you put in creating the logo go unnoticed and just use a days artwork image. About the gears thing well the sprites are so tiny that I don't know if they could be used for icons without them going all pixel-ified, but if Xiggie can make it work then I'd like to see it ^^
It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 20:56, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
What about using Org. cards?
And yeah, all of that work towards getting a logo might go unnoticed, but I'm happy that we at least have something ready that's reasonable. We've been trying to figure this out all month.

We don't have a logo that looks good with the layout with the title written on it, EO. Not much I can do about that.

Ah the new logo looks so pretty, even without the wiki written on it. And since it's temprary we could always let that little fact slip by xD! The gears look pretty good too Xiggie ♥.
Speaking of other thing, I remember in the old discussion something about adding a random quote thing, is it still a go or a no go?

Eh, I'm not too sure about a Quote of the Week. Why not go with Xiggie's idea, and have Random Quote of the moment? I think that having the same one each week will get tiresome. Plus, that doesn't allow for people to see some of the more diverse quotes, which is done on the FFWiki.
I think that we should have a poll, like BebopKate suggested! does anyone else want that?
if we'll open up a poll, I'm gonna nominate those two*!
