Yep, you read that right. With the launch of the new wiki, We need a Slogan Logo!

160x160, we need something thematic, evocative, representative of the DDA wiki.

Or we can just stick the Z there, but I’m gonna be honest, despite playing a central role in designing it (and maybe because of that), I hate the thing. We can do better! Presumably. Hopefully.

I know have the crazy desire to remake your avatar, replacing the two animals with your adorable little zombie guys. 😛

What my picture wasn’t good enough for you? IS THAT IT?  
Nah just kidding, it was only a matter of minutes until my picture was one upped anyway.

And you’re picture is already the wiki symbol, to boot. 😉

It will stay there until such a time as a better alternative comes along, in a constant game of one-up-man-ship.

Well shit, I feel as if I actually accomplished something today, even though I’ve been sick and on the computer for about a week now.  
Thanks, GlyphGryph!  
I might work on some more pictures anyway, I don’t usually make art but for Cataclysm it couldn’t hurt.  
It’s not like my art will put off new players…  
[size=8pt]right…?[/size]

I am very unsure of what that picture is of.  
Don’t think I’m criticizing it, or making fun of it, I think it shows the scariness and uncertainty that lay in the world of DDA perfectly.  
EDIT: Still not as good as mine, though. Mine won 3 Chelsey awards, a Carnegie, and was nominated for both of those 7 times, each.

It’s a stylised version of house Baratheon’s banner from GoT I made for Reddit 😛

It looked darks and scary, so who knows, might inspire someone else to post their art.

Yeah, the only reason I posted my [size=10pt]horrible[/size] award winning art was so others might be enticed to do so as well.

Here’s something:

![](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2503944/Cataclysm/wikilogowiki.png)

Bring on the hate… The “@taclysm” idea I liked, though.

I was also thinking something like this for a PROPER logo (WIP):

Concept: ![](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2503944/Cataclysm/CDDA-logo1m.png) Wiki: ![](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2503944/Cataclysm/CDDA-logo1stw.png) Icon: ![](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2503944/Cataclysm/CDDA-logo1ss.png)

Looks like this on the wiki:

![](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2503944/Cataclysm/example1stw.png)

A biohazard symbol that looks like a sad dude with a backpack. Pretty damn pertinent if you ask me. Whatchoothink?

[S]On a related note, why is there no spoiler tag/bbcode on this forum?[/S]

I don’t know! And it’s frustrating me to know end! I thought I installed one at one point, but I must have borked it, cause it’s certainly not working.

Now it is.

I can’t even tell if you guys are trying to top my magnum opus, all of these are horrible in comparison!  
Do you know how long I took on mine? 10 minutes.  
That’s 600 seconds, which is about 6000 milliseconds.  
Look at that number again, six thousand.  
I used THREE different brushes, at least five colors, and a text tool. All in a program MICROSOFT (Yes, THAT Microsoft) pre-packaged in my copy of Windows 7.  
When I was talking to Bill (Gates) and my friend Vincent (Von Goe, or something European like that, I think he had mental health issues since one of his ears was missing) said it was probably one of the most artistic triumphs mankind has ever seen. I am actually going to be in Sweden showcasing my art to a live crowd of seven million, and am about to be awarded a check for seven trillion crowns, and a master key to the entire world. My art is so good, I don’t get keys to cities, or countries, or continents, those are for people who have accomplished much less.  
In two weeks, I will be the proud owner of Neptune, and a couple Earth days after that I will have annexed eleven of it’s thirteen moons, the last two I will donate to the World Wildlife Foundation and Red Cross respectively.
