Well, as everyone (hopefully) knows, Nova has been released. Many people are beginning to develop for it, ask questions here about it, etc.

I was wondering, will the EV Developer's Corner's logo/whatever, be changed to reflect the new guy on the block? As of now, there are 5 icons: EV, ResEdit, EVO, Codewarrior(?), and EV again. Prehaps replace the second EV icon to EVN? I don't know, I was just wondering. Or would this be just a useless waste of time nobody would be willing to do?

I'd agree with the final icon being a Nova plugin... hmm, what's Codewarrior doing in there anyway? Essential it may have been to create the games, but not much to do with plugins.. oh well.

Well, I think that the Codewarrior is there to reflect the utility-type software developed for editing EV/O/N, which potentially could have been made using Codewarrior.

I'd welcome a change to the logo but somebody from Ambrosia would have to take time out of their schedule to make one. Or Ambrosia can let somebody run a contest to make a new logo and then they can replace the old logo with the winning entry. But then again Ambrosia might already have a logo made and are just waiting for something to put it up.

Good point. These days it's starting to look as if RealBasic would be more appropriate

As I said, it could just be a waste of time they are unwilling to do.

Yes, RealBasic has been used a lot lately.

Perhaps the logo is getting on a bit... perhaps a contest to design a new one would be a good idea. I'll get back to you on that one.

Also, mrxak - check your mac.com email address and respond.

Old logo, are you talking about the one that looks like a puzzle piece with a Voinian Heavy Fighter, or is it something else? I'm still sort of confused about what logos you're specifically talking about, perhaps you could post them up so everybody has an idea what you're refering to (or maybe it's just me).

No, they're talking about the logo in the upper left corner (just below the ad bar) of all pages on the EV Developer's corner - scroll your browser to the top of the topic and take a look.

Oh, ok. I agree, we ought to have a new logo, preferably have more depth to it, even some perspective look of it as well.

You want to be careful with that perspective - there might be someone out there with vertigo, who'd get dizzy and fall into their screen. Strolling around in Cyberspace may sound like fun, but believe me, it's overrated - for one thing, ones and zeros don't get to eat. Not even chicken rolls.

If it becomes a contest, should there be any particular style that is required, or is it freestyle which gives us more leg room?

As long as it broadly fit in with the boards, I can't see a problem.

The important thing is that people can easily associate the logo with the forum. Probably having "Escape Velocity" on there would also be important.

Here is just a concept, nothing more, but it was something I just created in just under an hour. I figure it's something to play around with just to spark an idea from.

What ya think, eh?

Ooh, I like it, but I have a couple of comments:

1. It has to be the same size as the image already there, I think.
2. Could you do something OTHER than the Voinian fighter... personally, I like Nova and EV a lot better.

Don't worry about the size, it can always be fixed, that's beside the point.
As for the Voinian heavy fighter, I suppose I could make 2 more in sequencial order so that the first plug-in shows the Hawk fighter, the next one showing the Voinian heavy fighter and finally the last one with a starbridge in it.

I like it. However, it would fit in with the board a lot better if the writing was yellow instead of green...
