Forum:CT:Updated swfanon wordmark?

Hello everyone. I actually brought this up with Brandon awhile ago, quite awhile ago, but being (historically) lazy I never actually tried to move forward with the following...

Star Wars Fanon's logo/wordmark as it is now called, is a bit dated. The text isn't from the actual Star Wars logo, the insignias overlapping is somewhat poorly done, and it lacks any substance or eye catching aspects (meaning it doesn't stand out against the BG). And yes, this was all brought to you by me back in the day.

I think it could use an update... nothing major of course. The logo is actually the same. Just think of it as an update or a "refresh" to the existing logo. Along to go with it, I also do have a new favicon to replace the also current "weak" one. See below for comparisons, and then let's go ahead and vote for this. Straightforwardly: updated wordmark, or not? Updated favicon as well, or not? Thanks. –Squishy Victalk 09:27, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

 * 2) I support, even though I never see that logo in Monobook. Though, for other logos, I may use that one, as I can separate its respective components better. Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:37, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) *If you also wanted, I could upload the .psd file for you to download, if you want the exact layers used on the logo. Assuming this is approved. –Squishy Victalk 09:42, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) **That would be quite helpful, actually. It would certainly make tackling any Wiki Awards logos much easier. But first, I need to go to bed, as it's almost 6 am! =P  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:43, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) ***Haha, of course. I'll upload the .psd it so long as we adopt this as our new logo. For now, g'night.... or morning in this case. –Squishy Victalk 09:48, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

 * Where is the favicon used? -- 18:27, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's on the URL Bar of most browsers. For example, look on your bar next to "http://...." and also, when you have tabs opened in some browsers, it appears next to the tab/page name. As well, if you bookmark it, in most browsers the icon appears next to the bookmark name in your list/folder. Squishy Vic Star-Wars-Fanon-favicon.png 18:51, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm fine with updating that too then.  -- 19:03, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Photoshop files are can be uploaded here? I thought it had to be converted to PNG or JPG. Interesting. Thanks for the info.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it...
 * They can, as a .psd in original format; only issue is that I don't think or know if they can work in galleries, but that doesn't need to be done anyway. I'd just upload it, say, for Trak to download it, then once she's got it, have it erased. No need to take up space for something that's just going to sit there. An alternative could be we leave it there and store it away so it's no unused, yet anyone in the future can modify it if necessary or take elements from it.
