Peter Southwood: Flying Proa - A silhouette of a more exotic (Wiki)voyager in a flying proa. A bit rough as it is a first draft. Romance, adventure and a different colour scheme.

Comments[edit]

The following conversation is taken from Wikivoyage/Logo 2013/Submissions#Option 33 - Flying Proa:

Number 2 is nice. The thumbnail is easy to remember. Cantons-de-l'Est (talk) 02:33, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I like the third one a lot. Nick1372 (talk) 04:25, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I like this too, and think that Lenka or fonts with a similar feel work well with the, ah, curvaceousness of the icon. Could we see how this looks when small? --Peter Talk 05:34, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How small? legibility of text is lost at 50px, but that would happen for many logos with text. At 75 it is marginal. The graphic does quite well at both 50 and 75px because of the clean lines, low clutter and high contrast. Lenka has an organic feel which goes well with the boat type. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:32, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As small as the icons that get placed in browser tabs, I guess, which don't need to have text. --Peter Talk 18:46, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The colors are very high-contrast... very 16-bit. Less saturation and less contrast between them would improve this logo significantly. LtPowers (talk) 19:42, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Colour change is easy. The main point was to avoid WMF colour combination. High contrast can be useful for small icons, but name your colours and I will run up a sample. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:27, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yellow and blue are fine, but try decreasing the saturation on them. Maybe move one of them a tad closer to green. LtPowers (talk) 20:11, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's not necessary to decrease the size of the blue section. It might even create problems with other languages, which could possibly have longer names. Nick1372 (talk) 20:21, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
