An olive branch for playnow (potentially NSFW)

Post by Pat »

I've noticed that the mood between the two sites is not exactly one of goodwill. I think we can help this situation by offering an olive branch of sorts to our former forum.

Currently, ilce is offering a 200 gold (in wow) prize for someone who can make a guild logo/banner/artwork. Here are a couple of examples that they have come up with so far:

You get the picture.

As it would appear, the majority of the posting and artistic talent has left playnow altogether. We, as a gesture of goodwill, could offer a proverbial olive branch to playnow as a way to smooth over the tension. This would also save ilce 200 gold pieces too. :up:

I think we should take it upon ourselves to make a guild artwork/banner for them. The only requirements are that it should have some WoW, playnow, horde and spinebreaker (server) references.

Lots of love,

Pat. :)

The last one looks kinda cool. Spoony should make something creative pretty quickly. I thought it was changing to PlayWOW! :)

I think it's admirable helping out ilce in his time of need btw

This could be almost as funny as the GAF photoshop threads.

Yeah I believe it's replacing the old front page logo.

The ideas behind them are cool, but someone like Spoony would be needed to execute them perfectly.

I haven't seen what spoony can do
van did a great job with the games ranch logo, I think the important thing is to make things simple, clean and stylish... something that will look good embroided on a shirt or on a shop window.

also something that looks good when scaled down, so far those logos (the 2nd one isn't even a logo) wouldn't work at the top of a forum.

forget the pictures for starters I reckon.

Yeah I'm not much of a logo/vector/Illustrator kinda guy these days, but when it comes to making celebs look fat... I'm your man. :up:

van's fantastic logo for this place shits all over anything I could whip up.

Looks like Playnow is turning WOW only anyway, they have switched around the list of forum topics to have all the WOW first and the other stuff down the bottom, there's only 3 other sections and 4 WOW now and in the drop down the WOW come first etc. Quite sad to see what's happening, the game won't last forever, so then what happens to the forums?

I noticed ilce say in the thread that the logo must be representative of, and convey the feel of Playnow. I suggest that to reflect the guild, there be a Horde logo and the names "PlayNow!" and "Spinebreaker", and to reflect the forum community, there be a "Post New Topic" icon, a "Post Reply" icon, and a "Ban User" icon.
