    Hi everyone!

    Based on a recent poll it has been decided that we want a new logo for NNG! Right now we sort of just have the No Nonsense Gamers words, but no logo, no symbol. We need proper representation and it's time to open the doors for a new logo design.

    Everyone can submit their logo designs in this thread. If possible, please link from imgur.com and do not attach your images directly to this post.

    Quick Rules:
    1. Logo absolutely must use the DOCK11 font. DOCK11 is our official font and we use it in all of our graphics. We need to be consistent.
    2. Each NNG member can submit up to three designs.
    3. Logo should be free of association to any specific game or division we run.
    4. Work big. Logo should be designed in large resolution. Consider a working canvas size of 3000x3000 pixels. A high definition official logo is a must. We can always scale it down, but if designed small can never be properly scaled up.
    5. Work in layers. The logo should be saved in a .png format to support transparent backgrounds. This will allow us to use the logo on many different media and web forms without having to worry about matching background colors.
    6. If the core logo that you design can be spun-off into specific division logos that would be a plus, but it's not mandatory.
    I know there is a ton of talent in this community from a design and graphics perspective. Hell, a lot of your guys and gals work is already used in various locations on this site, our social media sites and in videos.
    OK let's do this!
    THX!!!

    Is there a specific color scheme we should use, or will that be decided with the logo?

    I would create it in a way that allows you to go back and change it to any color necessary in the future. The guys have been using our 'NNG green' for now, but you can go another direction if you'd like.

    Thanks for clarifying! I like the green color, I just thought purple was one of the official NNG colors, but I guess that is just the Vanu influence lol.

    Yes, last time I checked Two of our divisions have active working logos, Planetside 2, and War Thunder. (however I haven't noticed the war thunder one too much recently, so it may have just been discussed but never finalized I'm not sure.)

    Both were made by the awesomely talented Doomforge.

    and to Ghost, I still have all the logos that were submitted by the ps2 guys, and some weren't really bound to the Vanu/Planetside theme if you want them let me know! (I do have a pretty strong Idea who created what as they're named by the creators :) )

    I really like the idea of having an NNG Logo, something we can throw up everywhere... emblems in game, wallpapers, shirts, decals, anything.

    Now when i think of a logo I'm thinking of just the symbol, the text can go along with it but may not be necessary everywhere and could be in different layouts depending on where we need to slap it, may need to be round, may need to be landscape or portrait.

    For this I've really only come up with one idea and one variant so far. below are is the idea with a couple layouts for each, layouts would be interchangeable with logo. I've really hit a wall with coming up with something else but I am thinking on this hard and hopefully have another one some time. Really looking forward to see what others come up with. I like to see them and it gives me more ideas, like "borrowing" crazies text layout.
