I'd like to see a rule being added; Transparency about using fonts.
I've seen some entries which are completely based on a font, and some that are handcrafted. That's kinda unfair (if kept a secret).
For example using a font:
Vs handcrafted type
(@groepaz, you mentioned it somewhere before. The font issue sure was addressed, but we decided to keep the doc short, and not go into too many details). |

Quoting SanderI'd like to see a rule being added; Transparency about using fonts.
Why a rule and not just let voters decide?
Lazy logos are going to be voted down anyway. |

Voters cannot ‘decide’ if it was self crafted. One could only know if it was mentioned.
The voter should know what he/she is judging. If the Carillon logo was handcrafted, I’d rate it very high. But knowing it’s a font conversion, the appreciation is much less.
‘Lazy logos’ is interesting, making something look simple, and good, is usually the most difficult :) |

So maybe same way every effect in demos should be labelled if realtime or not code is copied from another coder or not, and SID pieces too, why only GFX gets this threatment?
How do we know that Vision logo is original work?

You can never be sure it's original, but I am. :) |

Maybe, I’ll leave that to the programmers.
Good point about the Vision logo, as Hein did not mention a source, I assumed it was his own. That’s how it works.
In case of Carillon I recognized the font and asked Aleksi to be open about it. |

The comment about code is one that I was thinking about today… there’ve been some demos of late that have quite seriously borrowed others’ ideas.
The music bands playing instruments along to the music
The Daah! Those Acid Pills (copied a few times, most recently in Multiverse).
Comafight
Performers’ weird D800/anim scrolling layers thingummy (Lethargy made a homage to this)
Etc etc. I’m sure I’ve done it myself too.
I’ll try to give references in future for things that I’ve copied, if i do… but I tend to try to avoid just downright copying others’ work - unless I see an avenue to make them seriously better (eg. The “Bob-trail” effect in No Bounds - adds a scrolling background AND more bobs than Bob had, and pretty much matches what fREUd was doing but without needing REU). |
