User blog:SsVivid/Wordmark Logo Discussion

Hey folks. I've been gradually working through tasks that wikipedia suggests all admins try to do for their wiki, and one of the next ones on the list is to upload a custom wordmark. As best I understand it, that basically the same thing as a logo, and once uploaded it will sho up on every page in the same place as where we currently have the green "RuneScape Roleplay Wiki" text in the upper-left area.

What I would like to happen for this is to have a period of brainstorming and generating ideas for this community's wordmark, followed by a period of voting.

Brainstorming
Step one is to put our cumulative creative juices together to discuss possible logo designs and, hopefully, come up with several options - not just of several totally different designs, but also of several little tweaks and variations to each design, since that's often the key to creating a really special, solid, nuanced final result.

Suggestions
Here are the options I suggest (and request) from all of you:
 * 1) Create your own logo and post it in the comments for me
 * 2) Create your own sketch (draw it with pencil, do it in MS paint, whatever) and post that idea here - it doesn't have to be well-drawn so long as your final idea is clear, because at the end of the day someone can always create a more finished mock-up of your design
 * 3) Describe your idea in words and post that idea here - like option 2, your idea can be mocked-up by someone who knows how to create images, or you can describe it first to see how people react before making it yourself.
 * 4) Discuss the designs that have already been made. Discuss what you like about them and what you don't like, and make (specific, clear) suggestions about what little or big tweaks could be made to create possible variations on those pre-existing ideas.
 * 5) Discuss what you would like for the logo to say, or if you would like for it to say anything at all (as opposed to simply being a graphic). Also, what kinds of imagery you think would be ideal to represent us (like asterisks or swords).

Voting
Hopefully this initiative will be able to progress far enough that we can have a voting period to select the wordmark for our community by majority.

At this point, no voting has started.
