Nice bird, but what the fuck does it have to do with the codex? A horse would make more sense! Anyway, if DU decides to go with it at least position the bird to the left of the text, center stage looks absolutely fucking awful.

edit: actually, remove the big RPG CODEX text altogether but keep "doesn't scale..."

Still prefer the floppy though. Simple and blinking.

New bird-logo is fucking awesome. Anyone who says it's not is just non-conformist.

Only thing missing is something pretentious in latin in the circle around the die.

andyman is experiencing the apprehension towards anything remotely associated with the third reich that's hammered well into every swede.

southern swede I should say, since we've got luzur

No, I just have much higher standards when it comes to awesome.

And why should I give a shit about the Third Reich? That's like giving a shit about a homeless man sitting on a broom in an attempt to climax. We all have our problems.

Ladies and gentlemen, we almost have a wiener. Only the background would need to get fixed - black doesn't fit, and for the transparent one the letters would have to be a little darker, I think.

:salute:

maybe the iron eagle with the swastika replaced by the die in the (former) codex logo. that's pretty cliche but I can't think of anything else right now

also I don't think it makes sense to add any text to the circle since it's going to be too small to read and make the logo even busier than it already is.

I'd make the eagle a bit more blocky and "iconic" but really I'm very happy to get the eagle logo at all. lefthandblack u are a true bro

There's nothing wrong with the wings being extended, there's plenty of room horizontally. Just put the damn die in the bird's talons directly. The circle + repeated "RPG CODEX" takes up too much vertical space. Also, I feel that this "righteous prestigiousness" is a good direction to take the template towards. This logo is also better aligned centrally rather than top-left. Also, there's a shitload of useless stuff under the forum buttons, particularly the news.

Yeah, I dunno.

What if the bird was holding a 3.5 inch floppy?

And I'd probably lay it out something like this:

Only with graphics that made it all fit together.

Yeah, way too fucking big. And that colour seems wrong.

Ho-ho-ho, you brightened the text you crafty bugger.

How about you remove the latest news thingie instead? Nobody needs it anyway (I personally have it adblocked).
