Hi,

I think we many great people have common interest and joined here.

Everything about this forum is great to me except one thing: the logo. Why not change the log, I think it greatly declined the feeling of gamedev to a lower status

How do you guys think about this?

uh....why?, i think the logo is pretty much brand awarness for GD.Net, it's fairly unique, and stands out well. what is it about the logo that you feel is "declined"?

Check out https://www.facebook.com/LiquidGames for some great games made by me on the Playstation Mobile market.

What do you dislike about the current logo, and what would you suggest as an alternative?

The current logo is pretty well known, and the site has had variations on the same logo for over a decade.

I don't see anything wrong with the logo.

“If I understand the standard right it is legal and safe to do this but the resulting value could be anything.”

Oh, man, you can't mess with the blue G. That thing is iconic. I think I even have it on a T-shirt somewhere.

Considering the G been the site's logo since it started - http://public.gamedev.net/images/about/gdnetv1big.jpg - changing is kind of like asking McDonalds to change their iconic golden arches.

Also, I don't see how a logo can "declined[sic] the feeling of gamedev to a lower status" at all.

Oh man.. 1999. =) So many tables in that design..

Hi, if you like this logo, I cannot disagree with.. while, I think the big "G" of google logo seems better in esthetic glViewport.

OK, after your explanation, I think I am gradually feeling better about the current big blue.

The logo should be made a really complex interactive thing that you can spend 5 minutes on exploring its features.

o3o

It already is. Just no-one figure out how to turn the logo on.
