Help us design the DBO logo!

by ncsuDuncan , Thursday, February 21, 2013, 19:44 (4292 days ago)

Destiny.Bungie.Org is coming together, piece by piece, but we need your help designing a logo that will last us the next ten years.

It should be something to represent DBO. Something unique to us that evokes the spirit of Destiny. Something Bungie doesn't already have a trademark for.

You don't have to be a Leviathan-level artist to contribute - if you have an idea you like, just throw it together in MS Paint and (if it sparks interest) we can get someone with a steady hand to transform it into a usable logo.

Things to consider:
- A clear, simple design is preferable to something that won't look good at smaller sizes/resolutions.
- This logo should look good on a T-shirt. (i.e. Keep the number of colors to a minimum.)
- Your submission can have text or just be a symbol - you don't have to include "DBO" or "Destiny.Bungie.Org" in the design.

Possible inspiration:
- The Bungie.org logo. (link to high-res)
- Destiny concept art and logos. (Just don't directly copy a logo from them.)
- Old sea charts. (Though Puerto Princesa is already taken.)
- Ptolemy's Almagest sketches. (example)
- Anything else you can think of!

This is a collaboration, NOT a contest. There is no voting round - a week from now the DBO staff will select a logo we feel best fits the site's needs.

That said, I'm sure we can find some small way to thank the person (or persons, if co-created) that helps bring our new hallmark to light.

Right now we really like this idea that Grim, Levi, and Beorn have been developing behind the scenes:

Beat that! You have ONE WEEK from the time of this post before we pick a final logo idea (or settle on the one above). The key word here is IDEA, we can finalize the actual art afterwards.

TLDR:
- Come up with a logo design and post the image (or just the idea) in this thread.
- This is not a contest. Work together!
- Please don't be offended if, in the end, we decide to just stick with the logo above.
- Have fun with it!
