FOR TA LOGO THRED GO TO:http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=563

I think this thread deserves reviving... seeing as the day spring is released draws closer. Anyone that has any coments on logos, or has any to submit should post HERE.

Heres just a couple of the ones i did (in age order (almost)), other people plese add in your links.

I think that the logo should be developed now by generating polls from the community asking them what they want and we can compile ideas that where voted in into a set of logos where each element of the logo was voted for. Nobody will claim ownership of the final logo and it will have been a community effort where the logo that most people like will have been chosen

Well Alantai if you can come up with the question and the answeres ill add a poll to this threed so people can vote on it. I cant realy think of a way to word it. I agree it should be a combo of the best ideas. Thats how you get the best of everything.

I was thinking of reviving this thread myself when i had the time to do some simple drawings.
I liked the last logo the best but i don't like the moose...

I think that, since the TA-Spring is a combination of TA-Remake and Spring-Engine, the logo should follow these steps:

1- Spring-Engine: The engine is the most important. Other games will have the same engine so it must have a common and primary logo.

2- Spring-Engine: The engine is meant to re-birth games like TA. And it's name is spring that that's when new life is born. So i think the Spring logo should have one of these features (feel free to propose others)
- A phoenix (the bird that rebirths from ashes)
- A sun rise
- A growing plant/tree

3- TA-Remake: On top of the Spring-Logo, there should be added a feature that indistiguishably remembers TA so it becomes the logo of the TA-Remake part of the Spring-Engine. I propose one of these (feel free to propose others):
- A nuclear explosion (probably would only look good on top of a sun rise)
- A comander or both of them.
- Some units with special highlight on cannons (maybe a Warlord...?).

4- General logo: The logo will have to be present in the game screen (large) but will also have to be the game icons and those are small. The logos must be easily distinguishable even in the icon size.

Well, maybe i should start removing teh mosse... It's just a nod to the original SY logo. (if you check there site.) I like the sunrise idea, thats what i was thinkin in that last logo. ill prob do a few more soon... time where is the Time!

I think the moose is hilarious... just ask the SYs if they like it in the logo. I'd say leave it: a nice change from these other games which take themselves too seriously.

The nuclear blast looks great, aGorm, but the font for "Spring" doesn't look quite right yet.

I like the sunrise, too.

I have just started a mock ad campaign design project for Spring.

This will be for my graphic design class, so regardless of what goes on here, in this forum, I will be doing a full graphic design stint on the subject of Spring. Which will include designing cd covers, boxes, mousepads, mugs, t-shirts.
And of course, I will be doing this all by myself for the next six weeks. =p

I need one bit of information, why is it called Spring?

They said why it was called spring a while ago, I don't recal exactly but its to do with spring as in the season, spring the swedish word, and the really old versions.

I like that one, but for an intro movie, all the units marching towards the word SPRING (im sure you can generate some 3d blocky features that read SPRING and make em buildable to make a movie...........)
