KZ strolls past and sees Ahruman's last post. Shakes head and mutters 'Now he tells us!' Shuffles off. Returns a bit later and drops off...
Mutters with a rye grin 'You can tell he's a Mac user, the logo he wants looks like it could have been stamped in a Apple iPod factory.'
Ahruman wrote:“Less abstract” might be a better description. After all, the original Elite logo is less abstract than the current Oolite icon or KZ’s proposal. .... It’s very clear in my mind, but I can’t really put it down in words, and certainly not in Illustrator.
How less is 'less abstract'? Do you want the starbird to actually have a hawk's head? Bigger, smaller, more, or less feathers? Claws or not. Keep the ball at the base, or lose it? I know what it's like when you have grand design stuck in your head, the overall look is very clear but when it comes fine details, it's as hard to grasp as mist.
Seriously, pick apart the design and tell me where I'm going wrong.

Wow, those are really nice KZ9999! I know you haven't got a lot of time at the moment to take requests, but i'd really like to see a version of logo on the left without the fade out on the outside edges, just keep that line solid like the interior lines, but maybe a bit thicker, and without the ball at the bottom!

Yeah, go for it...hawk's head and claws on the right hand logo.

Ah yes, the austrian soup duck logo.
Perhaps I should suggest replacing it with KZ9999 Oolite logos to our government, it looks much better.

@seventh: Maybe if the wings were a bit bigger (as in wider)? Looking at the logo from a distance, it reminds me of a wasp somewhat, but I have to give it to you: it's a VERY impressive attempt.

Yes quite impresssive, esp. the last one that keeps the original Oolite's icon flavouring.

Ah, yes, that explains why the last icon feels 'right'... nice use of the 'traditional' colours, btw!
