Also, I agree that the Outdoor board looks too busy. The fishing hook G is awesome though


The G and the arrow are the two worst parts of that logo IMO

Please god no karamel corn.

I'm with you on Hal though, maybe 1/2 the people/visitors would get it?



I think most of us agree on the black and white??

After clicking on the gaming board page, that is freaking legit, I think we definitely need to keep working on one. Idea wise. Godfather being the man and putting it together. The man made my sig pic for gods sake.

What would most say the most iconic movie(s) of all time are/most recognizable.

The Godfather, LOTR, Batman, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Psycho, Casablanca, Shawshank, The Matrix, Fight Club??

After seeing the gaming boards I like one theme throughout now. A few of those have recognizable texts. The Matrix(digital look), Psycho(cracked seam through it), Fight Club(written on soap), Casablanca(red cursive), Star Wars(almost looks like torn letters, not sure how to describe it). Or others I'm not thinking of.

I like how they started a thread for voting too.

Yeah whatever you do, make sure everything gets finalized here on the M/TV Board. We learned that the hard way.

To be fair, it looks like I made your sig pic.

I think it should be generically movie/tv-related, not any one specific movie (which is why I am anti HAL, even though the idea of it is great).

The problem comes in with the text. For example, I thought the Tron-based logo for the gaming board was badass, but I would assume that Chicken and Circus Child want the logo to stay relatively similar to the current one (they are pretty proud of that logo, as they should be...it's cleanand sharp; and credit goes to SECond2none ). So using lettering from movies like Star Wars or the Godfather wouldn't work I don't think (unless Chicken could weigh in on that).

That is where you come in...securing approval

I think Chicken gave them pretty much free reign to change the lettering, if i am remembering some of the things i read over there correctly. However, i am a fan of the TD logo and would like to just incorporate around that rather than make a wholesale change.

I am interested to see this?

True, so something generic. Camera/Film, Popcorn and Remote seem simple and classy enough to go with the black and white.

As much as I like hg's "two thumbs down" for the "PP," how hard would it be (or what would it look like) to use a movie camera clip art pic for the double P?

Agree that Hal is an iconic character. But also agree that Hal doesn't work well in the logo.

And it's definitely all the crap in the OB logo that makes it terrible. So, including a remote, a reel, popcorn, and everything else related might have the same effect.

Wow, the dislike for the red is a little surprising. Bama backlash maybe? Guess I'm in the tiny minority of 2 that actually likes the red color scheme. It's kind of fancy like the red carpet. Maybe I just associate red with theaters... popcorn box, the marquis, red velvet in the theater, red drapes, etc. Black seems so drab.*

*Noted: my opinion doesn't really matter, and I don't care strongly either way.

No shite. I never realized people hated the red on here...I've always kinda liked it. But I do think the black that GF posted earlier looks nice though.

I'm working on a TD logo right that shouldn't disapppoint...

I can give it a try. I tried replacing the R with it and it didnt work, but replacing two letters may be possible,I'll add it to the to do list.

I do like the red, but I think the black is very relevant to the board.

The "G" from TVGUIDE
E! channel

D from DirecTV
Rated R
Film reel
Camera for double P
White TV remote (to keep race relations fair)
A random N (cuz I drew a blank)
Rated G
S-shaped film
Popcorn
C from Cox
More popcorn
M from MTV

You're welcome. And suck on that shite, Outdoor Board.

Then I took a break for a bit and came back to the red, which I actually do like too. Haha.
