We haven't yet, but that is a really good idea. I was going to post in the "Announcements" forum when we were officially accepting sign-ups, but some front-page time on the CC website is a terrific idea, and I think we're definitely deserving of it, if I do say so myself :)

welcome back :)
Okey, but you know that your present logo is very very good, it doesn't need to be changed if you are very beaten by work.

Nah, I am renovating my new house, and building a ridiculous amount of built-ins. I also am a night owl who has been forced to wake up real early to accomodate the contractors. The truth is with everything packed up for the move this is about all I can do to keep myself occupied (I am not good at sitting on the couch watching tv).

I will play around with it, see what I come up with, and we can make a decision which one we all like most. :D

There does not seem to be any other opinions on this one, so I am not sure how much more to do. Shadowing, Map changes, colors, etc. can all be altered but if everyone likes this version let me know.

maybe some shadowing but it is a great logo.
the yellow isn't a faction color but it works ofcourse much better Then black on the logo, because there are red, blue, green and... Yellow, its more logical :D
Does anybody else find anything or is this final :)
I think it is pretty much final Shmails, do the change you see fit and Then post it here again
It is a great logo and a useable too :)

After playing around with the shadowing for a while, I am leaning more towards the unshaded version. It has a bold pop the diminishes with the extra colors and shapes. Unless there are any objections and since there have been no other suggestions, I am happy with the logo as it stands. :D

I can see the problem with doing the yellow area in black, but could you do it in dark gray? Just light enough to set it apart from the black outline.

I think I like the gold/yellow better and it is in the script letters in the crest so it is not completely out of place, but I leave it up to the powers that be. :)

Excellent!

It might look a bit better with yellow, but I prefer the black/gray version BY FAR as the colored banner corners then represent the (original) four factions. I don't think they make much sense otherwise, I feel like "why are those colors there?".

Sadly, I have to agree with wobnam, lol. It does look a bit better with the yellow, but the black (err..gray) makes a lot more sense. We can always take a vote, if need be.

Honestly, you could even take it a few shades darker on the gray, I think.
