Request: MicroWiki
Hello, sorry, unorthodox request, but I'd like to request a logo for MicroWiki. Our current one's horrible, so I'd figure I'd go here to ask. I've asked someone good at graphics in our community to try it out and I was going to ask Bjorn to make one but he seems to have disappeared completely. As this is neither national nor personal arms nor, in fact, arms at all, I'll try and use a mixture of the two forms. Sorry for wasting your time if this isn't allowed but Fishy said I should try here so I have. Hence I'm here on behalf of our community. Yes, we're inferior, ya-dah-ya-dah, if that makes you more likely to do the request.
COMMUNITY LOGO
NAME: Lucas, Aldrich
TITLE: Administrator
COMMUNITY NAME: MicroWiki
EMAIL: aldrich.lucas@gmail.com
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE IN YOUR ARMS?: Haven't a clue. I know, not helpful, but preferably something simple, circular, logo-like. Not overly heraldic or particularly arms-like, preferably not any ideological symbolism either. A globe-like element could possibly be incorporated, something to symbolise a worldwide community, OAM logo is a good example (designed by Bjorn). No specific colour choices though preferably not something too over-the-top.
Any other suggestions for symbolism or the like is up to you, best of luck, if you have any questions about preferences or anything, feel free to ask.

But naw, we got some people that should be able to help you out. I'll ask a couple of them if they've seen this thread when I run across them.

Re: Request: MicroWiki
I didn't have to work today (moving to the nightshift from 7pm to 7am as of next monday, taking some time off to adjust my body to time shifts) so I worked on a logo for you.
We can change colors/fonts if you approve of the general design. I made it large so that it can be reused for whatever purposes without having to worry about resizing and image integrity. It is simple, using the globe design you requested. I figured you were looking for something a little more professional looking.

Re: Request: MicroWiki
Ooooh. *is impressed* Thanks for the quick reply and for the nice design, I'll ask some people over at MW what they think about it. Depending on what happens, I'll either ask for some minor adjustment or if you could possibly try a new design altogether (hopefully the former). A couple of questions though. Firstly, is the globe something of your own design or was it made using a previous vector or image? Secondly, what license do you issue your graphics under? Again, thanks for the design.
Re: Request: MicroWiki
You're quite welcome . I used a free vector image (I am good, but not THAT good) and I will make an exception to the College's rules and hand all rights and ownership over to the MicroWiki community.

Re: Request: MicroWiki
Again, thanks, but it seems most people don't want it. We're having a discussion in this thread about what logo to incorporate and I have a new request. If it's possible, would you be able to make a MicroWiki version of the Wikipedia logo? This would involve a puzzle globe with micronational flags on each puzzle as opposed to letters. Flags can be taken from here and perhaps incorporate well-known micronational flags if you wish (e.g. Molossia, Hutt River, Sealand etc). I realise it's very complex and I'm probably asking way too much, but if you think it's remotely possible, could you or someone else please have a go at it? We would be forever in your debt.
Re: Request: MicroWiki
You might try just resizing #15, to be honest. Because this is just a logo request and it seems your community is full of very competent logo makers, I cannot really devote tonnes of time to troubleshooting a professional quality logo. I have 2 actual heraldic projects, one long term and another is going to be pretty tough to create (they have 4 very awful colors chosen lol). Sorry

Re: Request: MicroWiki
Aaah, no problem, I understand, it was a very complex request. Thank you for your time.
Re: Request: MicroWiki
It isn't so much that it is too complex as it is that if you want a professional quality logo from me, because of other projects (both micronational and otherwise) and real life, I think I would have to direct you to my PayPal account. I just don't have the time unless I am duly compensated to make up for neglecting other items in an already overfull daily schedule, because everything else I do here is done on the premise that I'll get to it when I get to it.
