That would be a pretty Awesome logo. It's a shame that the Dizzy image has a copyright.

I love the hand-drawn "5". Wonder what the whole Allegro written like that would look like. And I also like all of Derezo's, especially the purple one Hmm, here's my attempt at mashing the two together: {"name":"608498","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/9\/e91eee90cf0a7560f8059fd449dc2c70.png","w":547,"h":144,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/9\/e91eee90cf0a7560f8059fd449dc2c70"} -- |

These are some of the worst logos I've ever seen... until Dizzy's. That one is brilliant. |

The bloody fart logo looks quite appropriate. ____ "The unlimited potential has been replaced by the concrete reality of what I programmed today." - Jordan Mechner. |

I beg to differ, it is awesome, but doesn't really look appropriate It is unlikely that Google shares your distaste for capitalism. - Derezo |

I do like the "hand-drawn" blue 5. I bet there are free fonts (such as http://www.fontspace.com/category/pencil) that could be used to make the A5 as was suggested before. Apart from the logo bikeshed, any progress on the new front page text? The logo is only a small part of the work that needs to be done to market Allegro 5... |

http://www.dafont.com/fff-tusj.font I assume that's what was used above. I just gave it a shot with Inkscape and it looks pretty good applied to the full name. Then again, I quite like the Poly versions.

In all seriousness, this one: {"name":"e175b1586c1211e66de13688648609dd.png","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/1\/e175b1586c1211e66de13688648609dd.png","w":500,"h":138,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/1\/e175b1586c1211e66de13688648609dd"} is awesome; we should apply it immediately! A camel is a horse designed by committee after all...or something like that.

Yhea, I don't like the A neither. Too exaggerated I think.

Rather boring. That's why my wife came up with another one, "from draft to something finished": beoran said: Apart from the logo bikeshed, any progress on the new front page text? Umm, no. You can scroll up to see the latest iterations/discussion. I'd try to work on this if I had the time. AMCerasoli said: Yhea, I don't like the A neither. Too exaggerated I think. I think I agree, some days later. The shape doesn't fit the "printed" look. |

Why don't you stick the blue sketched '5' at the end of you're wifes new one, sort of sketch up into it? Might look cool!

Polybios you better stop wasting yours and your wife's time, it's more than clear that there is no real interest in changing the current logo. In this community everything is as it should be and if you find a bug it's not a bug it's a feature...

Ok. I agree the "5" could be nicer. But just appending the previous blue "5" doesn't quite work. I have the impression you prefer blue to red. I must admit that I think the "allegro" part is quite good now. Before we try changing the "5" further, maybe there could be more feedback to this? @AMCerasoli: |

But it's true man... Who is managing liballeg.org btw? I would have already changed the logo there (the hole page to be honest). Here at allegro.cc forget it. There is no way you'll see the new logo here. In the site I'm most optimistic is the wiki, which is an important place but there should been already a poll at the front page of allegro.cc (yes allegro.cc has a front page) to vote for this new logo. But nooooooooooooo.... We Want A New Logo campaign starts today!

allegro.cc is an unofficial site. Ask Matthew about changes to it. If you want to contribute to allegro itself (and liballeg.org) check out the www repo. The wiki is also unofficial. -- |

Polybios said: Of course it's unlikely that we all (whoever that is) agree on one logo 100%. I hope you don't think this is a democracy. The final choice will be made by Allegro developers (I'd nominate Peter). Quote: which just seems to scream "I'm from the 1990s". There is nothing wrong with being from the 1990s. The only question is whether or not it looks good. The current logo is ok, but could be improved.

Chris Katko said: The best thing to market for Allegro is to make some kickass games for it. GET ON IT! If this will be done... well folks, you will get decent popularity boom. People need to see what can be achieved with Allegro. Just like in commercials - we need an authoritative "dentist" that will say that using Allegro will make you Hollywood smile. Adding "gay alligators" logo to future game intro/loading/elsewhere state might be good move It might be good idea to stick with the alligator - it's a symbol after all. Pretty text can be pretty but no more. Perhaps, someone could draw it in harmony with that Poly version? |

++ Elias. There's at least 2 or 3 aspects of that logo that I can attribute to the library. Which is pretty good!

I also like Polybios' wife's last logo, maybe the 5 could be blue, but oh well... It's certainly better than the old logo IMHO. If enough people like this last logo then why not ask Peter as well if he likes it or not? |
