Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
What about having the G's horizontal line start a few pixels below the H's horizontal line and, going behind the H, continue parallel to the H's line until a few pixels before the H's left vertical line? (

Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
Just in case, I've also done one with the G the same colour as the H:
I think that's too crowded, personally.

That's what I had in mind but I'm not sure it looks good.

Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
What if the G were the innermost circle? Would that work?
(I still prefer the designs with just the H, but if we're experimenting...)

Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
Hmm, I think it wouldn't be visible unless I made the inner circles darker (ie less transparent), which would again make it appear crowded. Also, the horizontal of the G becomes harder to separate from the H as it gets smaller.Dot Matrix wrote:What if the G were the innermost circle? Would that work?
So far, I still favour the plain circles.

Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
I definitely prefer the version with the blue circles (where the G is light blue, not the same color as the H). It's very subtle, but still gets the G across if you look hard enough.
Some people won't get the G at all since it is nearly subliminal, but who cares really? As long as it gets the point across that the world supports HG access, the badge is doing
its job.

Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
The barely visibly G adds a notice point --- A few will notice it and point it out to their friends. Every mention has value to you if you are promoting.

Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
maybe poke the "G" slightly outwards, instead of inwards

Re: Badge/logo for hypergrid-enabled worlds
You mean the tail of the G? If that goes outside the main circle, then the overall size of the rest of the logo would be reduced by that much.Dundridge Dreadlow wrote:maybe poke the "G" slightly outwards, instead of inwards
