roddy Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:15 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:15 PM It's about time this site had a logo of some sort. I don't want anything involving pandas and Great Walls or pagodas, as that's been done to death. I tried to think of a Chinese character that might sum up what we do - basically, talking about Chinese stuff - but there wasn't one. So I invented it. This is a first attempt. Criticism welcome, praise more so. I'm not wedded to this idea, so if you have a better one, speak up. There is a budget to get something done if not professionally, at least slightly less amateurishly. And we can also muddle on without one for a few more years.

jbradfor Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:30 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:30 PM Interesting. Personally I think it's a bit confusing to have made up character ( 讠+中). You'll just mess with everyone's mind and scare off the beginners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:32 PM Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:32 PM but there wasn't one. So I invented it. Read the post, man! There is actually 訲 (which if you can't see it, is 言+中). I simplified it, as I don't want people reading it 言中. Edit: Oh, nice ninja editing there, Jbradfor.

roddy Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:46 PM Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 02:46 PM Here's a slightly different version as it would look on the actual site after the upcoming software upgrade. Ignore the content, I'm just using a BBC RSS feed to populate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xianhua Posted August 15, 2011 at 07:59 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 07:59 PM I tried to think of a Chinese character that might sum up what we do Personally I think the character 忍 would be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmayo Posted August 15, 2011 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 08:08 PM Very cool ... I suppose replacing the vertical stroke of the 中 with a 讠would look horrid? EDIT: even just scribbling it on a bit of paper it does. I like initial suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 15, 2011 at 08:15 PM Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 08:15 PM If Renzhe ever launches a coup he can have 忍. Using 讠as the middle of 中 might work - anyone want to mock one up? Damn, there's a lot of ninja editing going on tonight . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted August 15, 2011 at 08:28 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 08:28 PM Which makes the 忍 just that much more appropriates, doesn't it? If we all vote for renzhe as leader can we have 忍? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleaves Posted August 15, 2011 at 09:28 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 09:28 PM Corny, but this popped into my head - making the box in 中 into a square speech bubble somehow, have a big 中 shadowing in the background. Or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imron Posted August 15, 2011 at 10:20 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 10:20 PM The 讠 looks out of proportion to the 中. I think it would look better if it was slightly smaller and didn't go below the bottom of the vertical stroke in 中. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymoose Posted August 15, 2011 at 11:11 PM Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 at 11:11 PM Still doesn't make sense as a logo. It looks more like a tattoo gone wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
