I have improved my proposal_

16*16

Hallo Memminger, Das ist sehr schön daß Du hier mitmachst!

So, how come the colours of the little version are inverted from the big one? Maybe another version.

I like the simplicity, and I like the 'waves' or 'net' or 'electron cloud' that the "O" makes around it, however your colours are a little loud for me. Funny how that affects me.

I also experience a tension between the solid circle in the middle and the waves around - somehow the ratio does not feel 'right'. Am I the only one who feels that?

How about this.. Grin

Interesting idea. How about making the thickness of the surrounding "O" the same as the "ra" inside?
Do you agree with this: For short words or captions: longhand is harder to read than printed. Lowercase is harder than upper case. Sherif is harder to read than sans sherif. ?

My vision (ocean/sand theme).

This is actually something that I could look at for a long time, and not get tired of it. The tiny variations are true to the visual stimulus of a real life beach - not some minecraft generated image. At the same time, it does not stand out as a shouting logo, which says: "Heineken!" or "Coke!". Have you ever looked at the beach - between all the natural elements, there might be a bottle cap with a logo on it - it truly catches our eyes.

Anyway, kira1474, thank you for your participation. I hope to see more posts under this name. Would you like to try the 16 by 16 pixel version of this?

Hmmm, thought I might que in on this.

Something a little different than what's been tossed around so far

~ regards

This one is fantastic. Very professional and instantly recognizable.

Super! Looks very 'organic' to me, a bit like coral! Good to keep exploring the ocean vibe

I hope we can use all these beautiful designs somewhere (t-shirts??) lol

What about re-using the central 'O' in the bigger design, like this?
Or would that be too hard to read?

I typically try to avoid this as to avoid confusing 'icon' and 'name' recognition. When you start mixing the two, it becomes tricky to keep a 'strong identity'. Example, see this variation below. While it is somewhat recognizable, it's not overly intuitive if your not familiar with the name already.

I also played around a little bit with wrapping 'ORA' or 'ora' alongside the circle, like so:

And finally, I tried something a little different again. I like it.

Hey, some great work here guys, thank you

A while back I submitted the original 'Kora' logo Mac Red made for the announcment & registration webapp site to the MegaPixel project.
https://nxtforum.org/meganxt/megapixel-%28historical-nxt-poster%29/

As we've changed our name I've asked could we submit a new one and Coradan said OK.

This doesn't have to be the 'final' logo, but could we pick one for the historical NXT poster?

Our free image is 5000 pixels, but if we want a bigger one we have to buy more megapixel assets (which I can do!). Even if we change logo later, it wont matter, but if we pick one and add our URL that would be great.

As we're doing some new things on the NXT platform, I think we should be on the historical poster.

Hi BoubonicNugz,

Thank you, this is a fresh direction, yes.

What about re-using the central 'O' in the bigger design, like this?
Or would that be too hard to read?

(I hope you are OK with me changing one of your designs. Sort of open source brainstorming, is what is happening here.)

I think the 16 pixel version is very distinct, easy recognizable, and quite 'noble'.

Interestingly, I got two people that liked a concept that I did not expect to follow up on.

However, thanks to Tearscoin and davien, for pointing out their preferences, I would like to ask: what is it that made pick this?

I know it was not the exact same one, that you liked, but it is of this family:

------------------------------------------------

If I embroider on it a little:
Maybe a little fatter:

it might scale better :

------------------------------------------------

What about colour:

------------------------------------------------

Or do you like the 'bowler':

------------------------------------------------

Possibly with some colour:

Branching out, movement, but as fragOra points out, possibly too centralized?

This needs a little (a lot of) work but you get the general idea.

This one has an 'Irish' feel to it, looks a bit like a shamrock

Ora can be so many things, that is the beauty. It is nearly a shame that we want to lock into one logo.

Why can't we have rotating logos, to indicate the constant evolving and changing nature of this starfish organization? Maybe to reflex the different 'rays' or 'legs' that each have their own local brain, we should have multiple logos for Ora, (including an Irishized version).

Sorry, just a little lateral thinking incontinence, ignore it.

Back to fragORA's concept: Leaves! yes. How about one big leaf? I kind of see a 'D' in there, somehow, making me wonder: What is the importance of the stem coming down where the ORA letters are? I would leave these letters out, btw. Let the logo speak for itself, do you agree?

How about a spiral on the outside, leading to a leaf in the inside?
Growth, green, new, life.

Pentamon

I wouldnt go with rotating logo as it will just cause confusion. The logo itself is meant to signify new growth, but I get your point that it shouldn't be coming from a "central" stem. (This is also a problem with the starfish imo)... So its back to the drawing board with the theme of many coming together and then growing.

My vision (ocean/sand theme).

Version 1
http://oi60.tinypic.com/r0768n.jpg

Version 2 - Sandy oceanfloor in sunlight
http://oi57.tinypic.com/2r6pn2d.jpg

Imprint on oceanfloor; Ora's been here (and is not going away). Not a logo, just for inspiration and base for version 2. Thought it looked beautiful.

Hi kossaka,

Thank you for a nice design. I like the twisty nature, and the little detail circles on the starfish arms, or legs.
In the meantime - this is a moving target - it would appear that the name is going to be Ora.

Could you give us a small version to see how it would do, the logo only without the (very nice) font next to it?

Have you experimented with other colors?

Pentamon

Ok

(some lovely images removed)

(more lovely images left out)

Thanks, kussaka!
What a strong design. Definitely a star fish. No mistaking it for anything else. I can even see the sand, the spade and the bucket that go with it.
So that would be the strength and the downside: no seeing a person or gears in there. It is not vague enough for that. Even the "O" inside the starfish, or the mouth is smallish. So what we have to decide: do we want to have a Rohrschach 'blob' that let's everyone have their own interpretation, or connection to it, or do we want to be very clear. Because this design is very clear.

Again, this is just one opinion. Please comment.
