Lou, KY Offical LASE logo?

Did we ever decide on an offical logo our Fan Force? I was sketching out designs for the website last night and couldn't remember if we had one or not.

 

I don't think any "official" decision has been made yet, but as far as the design goes, I'm leaning toward the fleur-de-lis idea myself....what does everyone else like?

Call me curious,

Jim

 

So far the most general idea that everyone seems to be latched onto is some sort of logo with the name of the group on the front, and some kind of big logo on the back with the website address.

 

Oh yeah, and most seem to prefer the white on black idea.

 

I was thinking we could have something that looks kinda like the 25th anniversary logo for Star Wars (the silver and black one) excepting that the symbol for the Rebellion would be the Fleur-de-Lis. And different writing, naturally. ::shrugs::
but while on the subject of the website :oke, harp, poke:: What sort of images are we wanting to use? The mainps on the site now are neat and I can try to incorporate them, or should I make some new ones?
I don't *need* a logo for the design, but I'd really like to use one! I've redesigned my diary tonight and that catches me up on all of my design projects so that means I'm ready to start on the LASE site! YAY!

 

Im still with the fleur di lis design..... I think it would represent Lousiville, and star wars. That way it is more unique then everyone elses. It would be best to make Louisville's design logo be different then everyone elses. The 25th anniversary thing has been done before.

 

The 25th anniversary thing has been done before.

Really? Figures. LOL Oh well. I spent a little while last night trying to design us one but I'm horrid at logo design. I like the fleur-de-lis as well and I think it should be the focus of the design. I'll keep trying to come up with something. I'm all about simplicity and I can't even come up with anything.

 

How about the Fleur-di-lis overtop of the Rebel symbol overtop of the Imperial Symbol?

 

OMG! Phil!! I swear to you that I tried designing a logo this afternoon and it was Fleur-de-Lis overtop Rebellsion symbol overtop Imperial symbol! SWEEEEEEET!!! It didn't turn out too good, but I'm going to try it again later with a different pic of the fleur-di-lis.

 

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but what's wrong with our current website? It meets all our basic website needs, and it's not so graphically flashy that it takes a year to load on older computers. I kind of like it that way.

 

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I know to me, I like the website, but it feels that somethings missing, yet I can't place my finger on what it might be. I'm looking forward to the meeting on Saturday, and maybe I'll even speak this time around

We've got an un-expected out-of-town guest this weekend - but as he's a fan too - maybe we'll be able to bring him!

I'll have chris put all his sketches in some sort of proper order - and bring you a preview of the artwork he's going to be selling at the Conglomeration art show.

 

Well, there's nothing at all wrong with the current website. It does look a bit slapdash though. That's all I'm fixing, really. I'm adding buttons and pages for collecting, costuming, and creative outlets. I design webpages and I DESPISE sites that take longer than 5 seconds to load. Most people make the mistake of adding too many graphics, too much java/script, too many animated .gifs, or too much flash. I like simple graphics and simple code because I hate to wait. The main reason I'd like to have the website be bigger is to make it more than an information relay - I'd like it to showcase costumes and meeting recaps, fanfiction/art, and maybe other things. But you have my 100% promise that it will not take forever to load.
If everyone would rather keep it like it is, that's fine! There was just some talk about re-doing a while ago and I volunteered. LOL!

 

Yeah, I like those ideas. I'd like to see a gallery of pictures of our meetings and even pics of different events we've attended (like C2 and the Magic of Myth). Fan art and costuming would be cool too.

 

As the person who put together what's up there now, I'd have to say that it looks "a little slapdash," as Bunny put it, is quite an understatement.

Personally, I just want it to look more...what's the word I'm looking for here...Professional, I think. Cleaner. Not as generic in terms of colors, fonts, that sort of thing. And I would love to see a place for photos, meeting summaries, all that other good stuff.

And, hey, someone else can be responsible for updating it. You won't hear me complaining about THAT, either.

Design away, Bunny!
