Tribal Symbol

[chamoky]

Wow i wasn't even thinking that far!!

[punion]

How about the SpeakMouthWords' south pole symbol adding the words on mashuga31's avatar: "POGO TRIBE"? Someone artistic can create a great type for it.

[chamoky]

None of these are in anyway bad ideas but they still don't seem to have the power to represent the pogotribe imo. But I hope to get a few great ideas and make a poll and see what the moon thinks. This way it's fair and the Moon has a symbol

I agree with Chamoky, if the goal is to create a symbol for the Tribe, it shouldn't be about the moon..

[chamoky]

For some odd reason it's easier to create a symbol to represent a smaller group than a larger group

[mashuga31]

mine was in no way about the moon.... >_>

[Dimstow]

Pretty snazzy Eh? I think it's a fantastic submition if I do say so myself. In fact, the only improvement I could imagine would be if it was bearded...

Bam!





I Kid, I honestly do love the idea of a tribal symbol. Just as a general recommendation, make it memorable, simple, and make sure you can SEE the connection between the symbol and the Moon. I love the submissions I've seen so far. Keep it up.


Oh and if you can make it have a beard, that never hurts.

Something simple that highlight the south pole of the moon, eh? I made this quickly, what do you think?

I like this a lot because it's very plain and we can customize it however the heck we want like you said, so for everyone it could be different but with this basic recurring shape. So someone who likes rock and roll can make it very rock n roll or someone who likes plants and flowers can do that or someone who likes pink unicorns etc. etc.
I would love if whatever we choose was easily customizable and changeable like that. I also like how it resembles the peace symbol. I tried doing a version of the peace symbol with everything but the triangle missing, but it looked too harsh and like we wanted to build walls to separate the south pole of the moon from the rest of the moon. So I think this is better. What about with a wobbely wavy line marking the south pole out?

I like the customisation a lot

[speakmouthwords]

If we're going to have something like a wavy line it needs to be incredibly simple, such that a child could recreate it.

[mashuga31]

I've had a revelation for this idea, I'll have to post it later today because I gots to go to school, be anticipatin'.

^^I'm waiting in suspense

[chamoky]

Also waiting in suspence

@crracktheskye, I really love your avatar! it's so cute!!

[Deleted]

thank you very much
sadly I didn't make it myself though

[mashuga31]

Ok so here's my revelation. The tribe already has a symbol in a way. If you'll notice, theres a little icon next to the URL and on the tabs.

It looks a little something like this:


Simple, easy to draw if you don't worry about large bold font, and can be easily decorated to whatever fits the occasion. What do you all think?

[RabbitWho]

That's not a symbol it's a logo

So is this:
and this:
Symbol has gotta be a picture and shouldn't include any words. We can make a logo instead though if people prefer. What do yee think?

[Deleted]

^^true

[mashuga31]

I think A logo is just as good.

The Playstation logo is widely accepted as their symbol too. Same with Microsoft's Xbox 360.

[RabbitWho]

I just realized the word logo evolved from logotype. That's blowing my mind right now. I can't think of any other words that evolved from traditional printmaking terminology...

Anyway I agree, i prefer a logo because there's no secret knowledge involved and it's clear to everyone who sees it what it is.

[mashuga31]

So far as logos go, which one is the best one we have right now?
