Fuck yeah, Peregrine Falcons, the fastest birds in the world. Those motherfuckers are mean.

Hmm...

Maybe the thing I made is good for "ITZ happened". Other results should come from other games? :)


Er, I mean, "like that roll Cleve was talking about"

I voted It's a good image and any Nazi connotations are in the mind of the viewer, but if it has to change Peregrine Falcons are a good alternative cuz they're pretty hardass

A stylized falcon will look pretty much like a stylized eagle I doubt there is a way to truly differentiate them in that medium.

I want smug bird back.

This looks bad, not even because it looks nazi (nazis had nice eagle tho) but because its not prestigious enough.

Better? I also removed the circle which apparently was the only thing which was making this nazi.

I'm also taking suggestions for the font and the text around the die, which were also criticized.

Holy shit I love the current one. Yes, including the Latin phrase. I approve of having a Latin phrase. This particular one isn't the best, but I'm too lazy to come up with something better right now.

This logo fucking rocks, though. Eagle is good, d20 is good, Latin phrase is good, font of RPGCODEX is also good.

If it's decided to go back to the previous eagle, though, I'd prefer the "naked" one to the one with the frock. Or make the frock black, because the way it is now it just looks awkward.

i like the new frame for the two rows of buttons... makes them stand out

the line under the die could say something like "since 2002" or "estd. 2002" to promote the prestige of this very institution

and do something about the wings... they still look rather nazi...

[edit]maybe more fluffy feathers and less of the long pointy ones

The level of butthurt in this thread is both hilarious and preposterous. Get ahold of yourselves, ffs. :lol:

Anyway, FeelTheRads is clearly the superior artist here. We'll probably never all agree on exactly how the logo should be, but I think we're getting close to a nice compromise for all. :tolerance:

FeelTheRads, I suggest flattening the top of the tophat, to make it look more like.. a top hat? And artistically, I thought the circular text at the 45 degree angle looked better, but I can understand changing it. The double-line that curved behind it looked great, but whatever. As far as the button bars, I think the simpler the better.

Thanks for the efforts, though. We'll get there; keep trying.

Edit: The next person that types "shinny" gets a jack boot right up the ass.

How about "Semper Imperat RPG" as the Latin phrase?
or I could check how to say "Choice and Consequence" on Latin

As far as I'm concerned, the whole idea revolved around the RPG-nazi joke. If I remove everything nazi about it, then it's just a bird and as I said, the "prestigious" one could be used in that case. It just needs to be drawn better.

"optio consequentiaque" / "optio et consequentia"

maybe more fluffy feathers and less of the long pointy ones... so it isn't so obvious
