Any suggestions on server logo's and imagery? Attached pic is a composite of various things and an attempt to zoom in on the mad wizard logo on my skin.
Traditionally servers and texturepacks create a icon or symbol to represent them. That is what I was pondering today.
Also included some celtic symbols which the mad wizard logo is a derivative.
A more abbreviated form which i discarded of the mad wizard logo looks somewhat like the Klingon empire symbol.
Another interpretation of the Mad wizard logo, is that of a smirking faust or scream style face.
Originally the symbol was meant to be a crooked triad/runic/celtic shape/symbol but had to be dumbed down a lot for the player skin.
And yes, the red is blood splatter.
What are your impressions of the mad wizard logo?

For instance if we were to list on a minecraft server list (not planning on yet) that would be the logo for our world. Or if i was a smart ass and gave all the staff custom mugs or tshirts or whatever thats the logo it would have. 1 part marketing 1 part identity for players to relate to |

If you look at my composite image, below the rear shot of myself is the graphics from my back copied out, upscaled, and smoothed and filled in/out a bit to remove the blockyness. Including the blood splatters. Also an eye sorta shape in the middle.
The Celtic symbols are what i was visualising when designing the symbol to begin with. Its a combination of elements of a few of them in one logo.
Its very kiddie'ish quality but best i could do with paint shop pro 5 and 20 minutes.

Ive been working on it and in about 45/50 mins i managed to hand-draw a draft. Itll take a while to get it uploaded onto the computer and digitalise it but it should turn out good in the end. Even added some runes saying "the dark fortress" on it aswell. Im leaving the background blank for now, but what would you like used for the background?
*sigh* ive been busy while grim sits on his butt playing ps3 with his friend..

On second thoughts, i'll leave it to Grimmy to digitalise it.. My hand gets too shaky while drawing the symbol part, so it stuffs it up. I'll attach a picture of the hand-drawn draft and you can decide what needs changing or not. Attachments:

Hmm Looks like you got about as far as I did. As for background - good question. The dark fortress itself is iconic, but its too big to actually fit on one picture. Theres the dueling arena which also sports the same logo Then theres my next favourite, well made ruins. (MADE ruins not a RUINED made thing  ) Ive seen some tex packs with nice runic decorations on blocks... But to be honest at this point, I am struggling to get any particually awesome ideas to spring to mind. Edit: As far as "mug" logos go, something unique, and immediately recognisable, but not too complex seems to be the best way to go, take for example the steam/valve software logos. Following on from above, a blood stained logo.. on a block or floor i suppose. So you have this nice cheerful logo, with a blood splatter just t olet you know, that under the surface dark and evil lurks |

Lol, ill see what else i can come up with. Im still yet to see grim help me.. With him saying "wolfie and i", you would expect the "and i" bit to come to use..
EDIT: I may not be able to work on it for a while, the cat mauled my hand half to death, and my hand kills to move :/

Depends, do you want a digitization of the symbol on the arena, which would suit as a logo and is really simple to do, or some kind of illustration which is harder and generally not good for logos, but at the same time might look really nice.

Bit of both I dunno, like i said i dont have a fixed idea in my mind.
I had a bit of a mess in the pic i posted earlier. But even the faust look the blocky logo has is interesting i guess. Tho as i said i was originally aiming for something more runic like the celtic symbols.
