This is just a simple poll, with 2 options, EVERYONE that can should vote, no one will be upset if you all post No, it will just mean we all go back to the drawing bord for a new logo.
The Question:
WHO LIKES LOGOS BASED ON THIS THEAM?
As they seem quite popular as far as I can tell.

that celueate of a kbot with flowers in the hand is better

yes, but it does not contain the words spring. However if it did then it would consit of 7 shapes. This also has 7 shapes. Therefor it is the same amount of complexity? So i don't get how you can say that? At all? Bear in mind if it dont say spring no-one will know its spring. So it would have to have the words somewhere.
The other Two, more complex ones, are just ideas of how it could be altered to look realy snazzy on a T-Shirt or for a desktop background, or a banner. The middle ones the logo.

Why not? A logo doesnt have to have the name of the project in it, it also simplifies design for colours and theme and expands the number of places where we can put the logo. And we can revert back to logo + spring when needed but otherwise when people saw that peewee + flower they'd instantly think spring.

Those ones are nice and simple, but still look stunning with a few (put paint program gibberish here). And anyway, peewee+flower==copyright, so we win ahahhahahahhahahahhahahah.

The problem with the Pee Wee, Is that it is a TA thing. Not a spring thing. Its synoimus with TA not Spring. This is a Spring Logo... Did people not realise that?

As Alantai Firestar said, it does not have to have the name in the logo. In fact, most logos do not have words or even letters.
And about flowers... instead i would really prefer trees for the reasons i presented!
PauloMorfeo wrote:# For the logo for
Spring, i would like it to be one of these:
1- An horizon with a sunrise of any color. No need to be yellow, like
http://www.onebob.co.uk/darren/pics/logoish.jpg.
2- A beautifull flaming red phoenix rising up.
3- A simple tree. Yes, a tree. It can represent birth or rebirth and also it can represent a part of history of the creation of the game that hapened in the forums.
Have you guys ever played Diablo, Starcraft, Diablo2? Somehow a rumor started about Diablo that clicking on a cow in the city would open an entry to a secret level. That was not true and in Starcraft, the secret code to reveal the whole map was "there is no cow level". Also, in Diablo2, they actually made "The Secret Cow Level".
For all that a tree represents in real life and in the history of what happened in the forums, the 3rd option seems very fine to me.
# As for adapting for the
TA-Spring logo:
1.1- A large army revealing itself marching from the horizon with the sunrise behind them. Ofcourse having the CORE commander in front of them.
1.2- A nuclear explosion in front of the sunrise.
2.1- The phoenix lifting up a CORE commander with it's claws/legs.
2.2- The CORE commander rising up surrounded by the flamming shape of the phoenix.
3.1- The CORE commander, or an army, marching towards us and trampling the tree that would be presented inclined in a falling position. (The video SY's made about trampling trees was just so funny... Also, whenever there is a battle in TA, the landscape is inevitably burned, smashed, destroyed, trampled.)
# CORE Commander. Why the highlight on it? If you remember the story, in the Core Contigency Plan expansion they lost the war. So, it can only be a new rising for the CORE.
All of these options are well defined in shape as well as in they're theme and finding a colour theme for them seems reasonably easy. The phoenix, though, may be hard to do...

Well natraly im all for Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees. Trees.
I ment that in the begining the word spring would have to be included becasue otherwise people wont know what it is.
The Pheonix is in use by a clan already...
However as theres a lot of no not this logo it looks like were back to the drawing board Neuralize.

I think I should point something out.
The logo should be easily drawn in 5 seconds with a pencil, after which it must be recognisable and not look like a tacky crap thing.
The problem with trees is they always tend to look like cloudy mushrooms when you apply that rule.
Judging from what i see those logos will not do. Any poll that was successfull would need a 70%+ majority vote FOR the logo. What the poll says we have here, is the marmite of logos, and that will not do.

So..? We will never be able to make a logo that has only features that aren't used anywhere else...

You want something easier to draw than a tree? It doesn't have to be a cloud shaped tree, it can be a pine-tree.
Anyway, feel free to propose other themes besides the tree/phoenix/sunrise.
I for myself, didn't fancyed very much that «Spring» theme with the flower in place of the «i»...

I like the first one a lot, i don't like the second, and I like the third except the explosion on the flower seems off, seems like the flower explosion is too big, i dunno.
-my two cents
