I think this COULD apply to our scene too. Just look at TRIAD as 4gentE repeats here. The striped logo has looked the same since the 80s. Its iconic. And everyone recognise it in an instant. Its brilliant. Also the FLT Druid intro. Iconic.
So if you want to be seen and easy to recognise, use the same logo, everywhere.
Also look at many pixel artists here. We all have the same way of writing our names these days. So a lot here is a brand too. :)
This compo maybe have a different goal, but these are my thoughts. And it always make me wonder why you don't want to have the same style and logo. |

Triad logo, yes, tho it doesn't check all your boxes: not size invariant cant be put infront of any backgr, etc. Flt druid intro to me its ugly and lame, its your memories about it that makes it iconic. I havent seen that intro in its heydays, so I was exposed to much more polished logos and musics for a long time until I first saw it probably in late 90's, and I wondered what the fuss about. |

@Sarge Well, this is our hobby, not our company. I guess, most artists just want to try something new/different from time to time… no need for brand recognition here… who would care anyway? You also don’t want to draw the same picture every time, do you? ok, often cats, but they are all different… 😉 |

Actually when you think about it, what groups have the best brand recognition in the scene? Eagle Soft inc. comes to mind. The iconic American Eagle (?) with floppy disk in the beak is unforgettable. Triad maintained distinctive brand feel too. |

Both Triad and Fairlight used different Logos, not just that one boring(!) one from their crack intro.
Some (if not most) of these "corporate design" logos in this compo don't qualify as proper "scene logo" at all for me for that matter. Just dull and boring. |

Point taken.

I don’t really know what qualifies as boring logo.
Wanna have a poll about TRIAD logo being ‘boring’?
Like: Classic TRIAD logo is:
a) boring
B) iconic |

iconic and boring are not mutually exclusive |

What qualifies as boring is a personal preference. What is boring for me seems to be exciting for someone else, and vice versa. So that debate could go on forever.
What is interesting is if a logo works on a technical level and how it is remembered for centuries, or not. |
