Logo Poll

No love for Logo 2? I really like the use of Koffing right in there, as opposed to an abstract image of it.

 

[locopoke]

you want your logo as simple and elegant as possible so that it doesn't detract any attention from the articles themselves.

Pretty much my exact thoughts.

The koffing in Logo 1 is iconic without being attention hogging. overall it's excellent design. Logo 2 is cute, but the unpolished look doesn't seem to fit with this project.

 

[cyberzero]

That was a tough choice, but I went with the first one. Simple and sophisticated, but it was really close

 

[Tarquin]

Logo 1. It looks more professional, like a Hallmark, which I think suits Smogon's focused and intellectual mindset. The second logo was messy, too cartoony and formless. More of a kids school project title.

Logo 2 looks nice but doesn't make sense for this project I think

HI IM AN IDIOT AND I LIKE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MOST MUNDANE SHIT BECAUSE I AM CHRISISME AND MY OPINION MATTERS MORE THAN ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR THE NAME BECAUSE YOU KNOW I AM CORRECT AND EVERYTHING

Logo 2.
Many people will agree, pictures make an article more appealing (Last time I checked it was in the RMT rules that it makes your team look better).

 

[Thorns]

I hope no one is voting based on who made the logo, and I also hope that neither of the artists take anything personally when this is said and done!

That said, I really like Stellar's based on a design standpoint.

I like logo 2 because the creator is pretty and therefore his submission is too!

One has the elegance of a legitimate logo, for magazines.

The second would probably fair better as a website layout or something.

Voted 1.

1. 2 is great, just not perfect for the direction the magazine is aimed at.

Logo 1 is much better, logo two's koffing appears to have just been plonked in there without any thought. Plus, I like logo 1's simplicity.

1 is just simple enough.

And frankly it looks like theres shit all over 2...

 

[Olie]

honestly I prefer 2

 

[dachickens]

Art-wise, I like the second better, but for a magazine I'd take the first.

 

[Deck Knight]

Mastheads need to be simple, clean, and effective. Too much flash detracts from the content. Logo 1 works best for this.

 

[Matthew]

One, the logo needs to be clear enough to get the message me want, to get across, but we don't want it distracting from the articles.

 

[Abacus]

Logo 2 is a really cool design... but not for a logo. Simple is best. Logo 1.

 

[Falgaia]

Simplicity is always good, so logo 1.

 

[Coronis]

Logo 1, nice and simple.

 

[Zoro]

The first one, for reasons already stated.. its simple and serious imo

 

[mingot]

Logo 2 is certainly aesthetically pleasing and well done, but I choose logo 1 based on how clean it is. Logo 1 seems much more professional.

logo 1 wins
