:* I like this one a lot, especially the concept. To suggest that the [[Menelmacar|Menelmacari]] flag should not be on it is a bit idiotic IMO since it is just another player flag. However, I do think the [[RL]] flags ought to be replaced with OTHER NS flags. I mean... there are plenty of NS flags. ([[Knootoss|I]] would not mind being on it, but hey :P) Anyhow... I think I'd vote for this one if it had IC flags only and no US or Japanese flag thingies. That should not be too hard, no? If people still are afraid of OMG POLITICAL BIAS they should nominate on of their own flags. --[[User:Knootoss|Knoot]] 16:24, 18 Oct 2004 (GMT)

:*A relatively quick scan of [[:Category:Nations]] will show an abundance of custom flags in the infobox areas of many nations.  I don't have a problem with the "%$#@*& flag of Menelmacar", but given the sentiment here, perhaps it shouldn't be front and center.  That hand-holding-a-globe one, now (top center) ... that one I could see in the center. I already told the owner to submit that as a logo here.  I don't remember who it is, though.

:* This is the best of the bunch so far, but I second what's been said about flags: the US, Australian, Japanese and German flags don't really belong on there. Just to avoid contentiousness, I'd propose the default NS flag, ugly as it is, to go in the top-centre spot. (And, of course, I think my own flag would add a touch of much-needed green to the thing, but that's the ego talking. Galdago's is probably better for design and distinctiveness - I'd suggest Loop's latest, but there are certainly copyright issues ''there''. [[User:Rehochipe|Rehochipe]] 17:22, 18 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Synopsis

note: this is not a vote, yet.

This wiki needs a logo, and the purpose of this node is for people to post their logo submissions to. Please leave commentary. Check NSwiki:Community decisions for the suggestions on what the logo should contain - however, it is recommended that the logo be transparent.

Submissions

1. Globe logo [now with transparency] (temp)

09:28, 2 Oct 2004 (GMT) i think it's great that it should look like a globe with the name over it but do we want the outline of the continents to look like those of earth? .../\...

Based on the Wikipedia logo, constructed in Photoshop. I decided to make it with a combination of RL and customized NS flags of significant nations. Then I "spherized" it, did a little lighting effects, and voila! I made B&W and color versions- the admin(s) can determine which is the best. :) by Syskeyia

  • I think I speak for the majority of NS players when I say we don't want the %$#@*& flag of Menelmacar on the NSwiki logo. Or the US flag, for that matter. -- Constantinopolis 15:07, 15 Oct 2004 (GMT)
  • Exactly what I was thinking. The US flag does not deserve to be slap-bang in the middle of this seemingly multicultural game logo. -- Anonymous user.
  • I think they both look great, especially the colour one, but I agree with the comments above. Maybe made up flags should be there instead of real ones. I also think it should say NSWiki at the bottom (or NationStates Wiki) rather than 'Wikipedia NationStates'. 194.74.162.226 13:13, 18 Oct 2004 (GMT)
