Forum:Logo creation campaign

http://events.wikia.com/skins/slate/images/wiki_logo_light_newskin.gif With the new skin, wikis that don't have a logo of their own will be given a message informing them they have no logo rather than being shown the old Wikia logo.

I'd like to start a logo creation campaign to help wikis that need a logo. If you're an admin on a wiki, you can add a logo directly by uploading an image called Wiki.png. If you're not an admin, please upload an image called Logo.png on the relevant wiki and add a link below so that a member of staff can transfer the image to the right place. Logos should be no more than 150px square and must be in PNG format.

To find a wiki that needs a logo, you can either browse through wikis in your favorite category or visit a wiki. Angela talk 03:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

This is sort of a great idea, this will encourage (or force) more wikis to obtain their logo to avoid that dull image, but think it would be nice to add an extra line that say "Logo.png" ? that way the new people that normally create a wiki and has zero knowledge how to handle wiki to know whats the name of the file they have to save--Cizagna (Talk) 04:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

You mean "wiki.png", not "logo.png"? Asuming that they are admins, --Steinninn 18:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * ops yes wiki.png my bad --Cizagna (Talk) 01:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Superman Wiki
I posted a logo for the Superman Wiki at. If someone would make that into the logo, I'd appreciate it. And while you're at it, could you change the top address bar to say "Superman Wiki" rather than "Superman wiki"? Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 15:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * An admin must edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle too change the adress bar title. – Smiddle / talk 18:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Sannse has already added it as the logo. The thing with Pagetitle is it uses as the default, and the sitename there uses a small w. I changed it in Pagetitle but this doesn't reflect the actual site's name now. --Splarka (talk) 03:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest having a small wiki somewhere on the logo. In the bottom right corner for example. --Steinninn 18:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Made a logo, see if you like it: http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/6791/logoep7.png (Can do other colors)--Bucketruck 19:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, thank you! I actually like the logo as it is now -- I think it looks clean, and cool. So I'm all set, but I appreciate the attention! -- Danny (talk ) 13:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Template
If you don't want to make a logo yourself, you can now leave an admin a message suggesting they add a logo by typing ~ on their talk page. Angela talk 04:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

OnePiece Wiki
Some of the OnePiece Wiki requested that I create a Logo. I did put it on my ToDo list, but I don't know if I can get the graphics to do it, or get around to it with everything on my ToDo list, plus the AliceSoft Wiki intending to join the WGEP and expand it into a Visual Novel/Animanga Related Games phase before other phases jump in. They say they want a logo with a Devil Fruit as the background, and of course OnePiece Wiki on it. I don't know if I can do a Devil Fruit, or find an image of one to use. But if someone at least would find that portion, I could do the graphical text for it. Actually, I could probably modify in the OnePiece logo and add some similar text saying "Wiki", I've found that I'm alright at making extra text which matches the normal lettering in a logo. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 14, 2007 @ 09:22 (UTC)

Lolicon/Anime logo
Ya want a logo this thing is a logo It is an abandoned/orphened image from who ever when ever and where ever! This is incopyrighted from what the FCC people said! so use it!

 * Thank you for helping me with the logos. I have no idea how to create a logo and I gave up creating one in Paintbrush (the only tool I have). Both are very nice, so it will be hard to choose one. They are just great! Greetings, --Adela 19:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Jediism Wiki needs logo
Sorry for taking up everyone's time, but I am hopelessly uneducated when it comes to graphic design or the implementation of a chosen design to a wiki for a logo. I have played around on Microsoft Paint a little and have come up with a few ideas for a wiki. Here is what I have come up with http://s132.photobucket.com/albums/q33/Mdaughdrill/Jediism/. An important thing to mention here is the importance that the logo have no connection to Star Wars. The Fellowship of Jedi wiki is all about the real life, applicable ideologies of Jediism. There is no light-sabers, force powers, or Sith lords. There is no Millennium Falcon or Coruscant. There is no such thing as all of that stuff talked about in the Star Wars movies. What we are interested in is the various ideological aspects of Jediism. The monk-like nature of these people who have dedicated themselves to the defense of others. So please, if anyone decides to help with a logo for the Fellowship of Jedi wiki, please keep the Star Wars out of Jediism. Thanks.

 * Could you give link to your wikia, so that we could know bit more about it. Also what would you like to see on logo - some vector graphic (like black sun logo you uploaded on that web page), or photo or... what should be topic of it? SkywalkerPL 09:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is the link to the wiki...jedi.wikia.com/wiki/main_page...For the logo I would like to see something that incorporates the term 'Fellowship of Jedi' into it. Other than that I really have no idea. Something to do with the Force, like chi, energy, qi gong, the tao, yin and yang, something like that. I have uploaded some new pics to my photobucket.com page linked to above that includes some pretty cool base designs. I am pretty much open to anything, although I do like the Black Sun design, the Jedi Order logo, the Cosmic Balance symbol, and the Confederacy of Independent States symbol. You should find all of those on the link above. Thanks.
 * --Michael Daughdrill 20:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It's at jedi.wikia.com. We at the wiki aren't entirely sure what we want, but in my mission to improve the wiki I've created a forum topic in which it's being discussed. We have two ideas already, but only very basic. A variant of a graphic like the Black Sun logo might do well. 20:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

LogoHunter Tool
With the Logo campaign in mind I created a small little tool. It's not directly in mind of creating new logos. But making the logos of wiki which have not had their logo posted on their info page when they created one.

The script I built replaces the current logo in the upper left with the logo for the wiki in question when you hover over the visit box for the wiki. Essentially, you can browse the info pages. And whenever you hover over the visit box for a wiki and a customized logo shows up, but is not displayed on the info page you know that the wiki has a logo but someone forgot to put it up on the info page. And if that's the case you can add the logo to the page yourself.

You can use the tool by including this into your User:Usename/monobook.js: document.write(' ');
 * If MediaWiki:Common.js were to use my inclusion functions you would only need to use .

Warhammer Online wiki
this wiki already has a logo but i was wondering if someone could make some improvements

http://images.wikia.com/warhammeronline/el/images/b/bc/Wiki.png

I would like to have the same logo with a transparent background and the word "wiki" written in a similar way as the word "warhammer" and a little larger than it is now (notice the "balck" line in the middle and the "red" border around letters). i tried to make it tranparent but i get a white border around the words when i use it in a black background (i need an image to work both in white or black background). here is the initial image to work with:

If you like make something totally new. Thanks anyway, Erdimus (talk) 12:09, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Open Source
I think this is a hard one. How to create a symbolic picture for software which source-code is freely available? The current logo is a good example what to avoid: it uses binary-code (0 and 1) which means exactly the opposite, the font is hard to read and the red beta is.. well please don't add fancy alpha, beta signs. --Matthias 12:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, sorry about that. I had my screen zoomed out too far. Swannie 00:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Tabula Rasa
So the current logo for the Tabula rasa looks simple; it's just the official game logo. I was wondering if anyone with good graphic editing skills could spruce it up. I want to submit the wiki for the Fansite listing on the official website, and a logo has to go along.--Imaginationac (Talk | Edits | [mailto:imaginationac@gmail.com Email]) 19:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

After the campaign is over
It would be a good idea to swap the "this wiki does not yet have a logo" logo with the wikia logo. The current message logo does not look inviting for someone who come a cross a midly-developed wiki.--Rataube 17:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You are right that it doesn't look that inviting. I think we should keep the notice there, but maybe spruce it up a little.? Or, maybe we could put the Wikia logo at top, then put a small message underneath stating it needs a logo. Swannie talk to me 18:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me specify: I know that the image we have already has the wikia logo on it, but I was thinking that it should be bigger, and we could have a small message below it. Or, each wiki without a logo could have an image with the name of the wiki on it, then below that it states that there is no logo. But, I'm thinking that would be a lot of work to put into something that is just going to be temporary. Sorry if I seem confusing. If I'm that confusing, just totally disregard my comments. I know that I can sometimes write a lot of stuff that's just confusion. :) Swannie  talk to me 18:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Johnq has a new logo which is probably going to be set as the default soon. It looks like the two i's in the Wikia logo. Angela (talk) 23:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Logo for the french "Auteurs" Wikia
The French "Auteurs" wiki is aimed at helping young authors to present their work and to get feedback on it. As a logo, I thought about:

(a) an open book with an ink stain as to figure the work in process, or

(b) two open books with arrows in both directions, expressing an exchange between the two books.

1. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

2. Can anyone help designing and uploading the logo?
