"Is the new supporting member logo too big?" Topic

Bill,

While I will not argue with democracy in action (although I will point out that the two top entries got over 60% of the votes, but were seperated from each other by less than 20 votes - can you say recount *smile* ) I do think the new icon is a tad too big.

Any chance you could shrink it down without loosing too much of the appeal?

As always, YMMV...

- Joe

Agreed -- after seeing all of the logos in action I actually changed my vote from the winner to the sword -- because the sword is the right size and does not distact.

The winning logo is simply too big -- but it can probably be shrunk quite a bit and still look good.

Agree--shrinking is in order.

Geez, I'm out of town and I come back and big hulking blue logos have taken over. And it looks like all you supporting guys just got a demotion!
The 5 red stars were tempting... but this one isn't.

I think the winner was the best one although it could use some shrinking (by as much as 50%).

I agree it is too big

I think it is way too big. I also voted for the sword, since it had the right shape.

Love the icon, but it is a tad too large.

I love the larger size. Emphasizes the bearer's importance to the continuity of the community. Remember that line in the Fifth Element about being proud of your people :) You're warriors. Be proud!

Why don't we have a run-off vote between the two designs that got the most votes?

It needs reduced to about 1/3rd size, but it probably wouldn't work at that size.

Naaaah. I like it.

This is one case where shrinkage would be good.

I think half size would do it and it's classier than the sword. By the way - has anybody else noticed that the old supporting member logo still appears at the top left of the front page (the "welcome back..." bit)?

Too big.

I didn't vote for the sword because it would not have shown up at all against the white background. Had the sword been placed against a darker color, it would have been my favorite by far.

No need to shrink it. Just add a 4th star and put 2 stars, then "TMP" then 2 more stars all on one line. Like this:

** TMP **

- Jim

Shrink it.

Yeah, I want another star. ;)

Seriously, I'd like to cast my vote for "It's a bit too tall"

shrinkeroooooooooo!

too big

I didn't realize that size mattered so much to you guys...

:)

Its way too big. I'm afraid it will symbolize negatively favored status for paying members. Not only that, it overwhelms the whole post!

Half the size will look great.

WAY frikkin' too big!

It's wasted screen real estate. I didn't have to scroll so much when the icon was the same size as the text.

I'm still annoyed that Bill didn't let us vote for the old one. :p

Too big.

god . . . its bloody huge! shrink it man . . . for the love of jesus!

ditto on the shrinko

I still say if our name was centered alongside of it it wouldn't be so noticable.

Break out the shrinky-dinks!

TOO TOO BIG!

all us non-paying members voted it for ya! lol
long live the admiralty lounge,etc...

It's too tall. I actually went to try and change my vote today to a shorter one-- but the poll closed yesterday. Ah well (I voted for the bars-- cool concept, but also too tall).

I think the "TMP" should be cut off. That would make it half the height. The resulting confusion between TMP Supporting Members and all the other Supporting Members should be minimal :)

I agree with the vast majority -- too big!

You got what you voted for ...

Was there a voting option for "none of the above"? Just curious.

Patrick R,

One of the benefits of being in the unwashed masses---having a larger sway on poll topics :)

Way too big

Dont need to shrink the logo - just put the TMP inline with the 3 stars

TMP***

actually we need iton both sides of our names so it looks like shoulderboards (because I cant spell epelets)

...way too big...

...following along the lines of "astronomican" - why not just have the TMP on one line with a star on either side?

*TMP*

That will "thin it out" and give a nice, balanced look.

Far too large.

From the guy that designed it...

I agree, it's way too big. I'd like to see it 30% smaller...

I need to email my address to Bill for the boxed set so i'll run the proposal by him and see what he thinks...

one last thing...
Thanks for the votes!!

Way too big and way too "not the old logo"...

Actually, it's no surprise that folks are complaining. This logo only got 33% of the vote -- which could mean that as many as 2/3rds of us hate the darn thing.

And there was no "none of the above" choice, nor was there a "old one" choice.

[I agree, it's way too big. I'd like to see it 30% smaller...]

Am standing by...

I like the design (I did vote for it...), but yes, it is 30-50% too big.

too big

Smaller please.
