Re: New logo for the SuSanA discussion forum?

Not sure if a change is really needed, but to me option 3 looks the best.

Re: New logo for the SuSanA discussion forum?

Thanks for your reaction Joe. You have been the only one so far, so special thanks! Does anyone else have any feedback, too?

About the globe, yes, we have it in variations in all the logo options. We thought the globe is the best method to symbolise something that is "global" like the internet and like this discussion forum. Do you have an alternative suggestion if you don't like the globe? Something that shows how people worlwide can be connected via this forum? That was also the idea of the world map that is used in the current logo of the discussion forum.

Well, those all seem to me to be variations on a very specific theme. It might be better to offer options that are a bit more varied?

I'm not sure about the green globe at all.

New logo for the SuSanA discussion forum - final version (May 2015)

A few of us (Steffen, Lasse, Arno, Kim, Trevor and myself) have been working in the background on coming up with a new logo for the SuSanA discussion forum.

As a reminder, this is what the current logo looks like:



We felt that a new logo was needed which:
  • looked more professional
  • looked more similar to the SuSanA logo to show that the SuSanA forum and SuSanA website/platform are totally integrated
Steffen has come up with various designs. I personally like this one best at this stage (called Number 4):




Here is how it would look if it was integrated at the top left of this page:




And here is how it would look on our overview (front door) page (see top left):



What do you think? Would you find this an improvement?



Other forum logos that we have tossed around would look like this when integrated onto this page (see always the new logo at the top left):

Option 1a:




Option 2:




Option 3:




Option 3b:




Do you have any feedback about the proposed new forum logo?
We did wonder whether some of the options looked too much like a soccer ball (it is meant to be a symbol of the world), but I think the one that I currently prefer (Option 4) is OK in that respect.

If no feedback comes in within a week or so then I would propose to implement Option 4.

Regards,
Elisabeth

P.S.
The alternative logo options (those that I don't favour) in case you want to have a closer look at them:

Option 1:



Option 2:



Option 3a:



Option 3b:
