Discussing the POV-Ray logo competition in .general I mentioned the fact
I thought the rules for the last competition too limiting artistically.
The attached image is one I was working on for the POV-Ray TAG. While
it may be a little over kill for an actual logo it does show what you
can do with a concept if you really put your mind to it.

Consider this an unfinished piece of work (that may never be finished).

Huh !  E.T. POV Home ? :-)))
At least, the "helping hand" concept is obvious...  Suggestion :
maybe one hand could _give_ something to the other, a shiny sphere
or whatever...

<HARMLESS PARODY>

Fancy yourself a bit like God, giving Adam the initial spark of life,
eh? What's next, pictures of Kethedrals showing the faithful bowing in
fervent prayer on the checkerboard floor, before the Holy Reflective
Sphere of Ken? 

I can see it now. Priests dedicating their lives to the interpretation
of the holy renderings of Ken, and to his many sacred bookmarks.
Passages shall be read aloud in the Kethedral from the holy writings
rendered as stone tablets. Passages that tell everything from the
initial creation...

"...And Ken said: 'Let there be light_fading!' and there was
light_fading..."

...to the final days:

"...and whatsoever website was not found in the Bookmarks of Ken, was
cast into the flaming lake of spam."


</HARMLESS PARODY>

Keep the faith,

If you ask me, that lensflare is just a little bit to bright.

That is a nice image, but it certainly isn't a logo.

What you've done is to blend a name, a slogan, and a logo together, and make
it look interesting by using various effects. There's nothing wrong with
that, but it isn't a logo.

If you had the hands and the spark only, and made a silhouette of it, *that*
could be a logo.

To prove that a logo by definition is very simple, I think we could all go
hunting for logos on the internet and post links to them here. If a logo is
available in different version it is the most simple version that counts.
Then we could see how simple a logo generally is. The more known company,
the better, because they know what they're doing. I think we will find out
that a logo generally is very simple and uses one or a few colors only.

Examples that I know without link references are the logos of Apple,
Windows, McDonald's, Intel, Shell, Nike, MTV, Amnesty International, and
hundreds more I can't remember right now. They all use one or a few colors
only, and they're all easily recognizable in a very low resolution, and in
black and white. Please remind me of / show me some that are more detailed,
because I can't think of any.

Greetings,

Rune

It's probably better that we discuss this in povray.general instead.
See the message "PLC: General qualities of the logo."

It's a tad overkill, hackney and feeble.
The lens flare really isn't needed.
The theme is overdone and does not necessarily reflect the purpose of the TAG
The motto could use some work: "Bridging the gap between the POV-Team and
POV-User"?

I'd have to agree with Rune, it's a fine image but not an effectual logo. It
seems to have been done for impact rather than purpose.

Just thinking; it would make a good splash screen. Don't know where you could use
it though...
