Comments [edit]

The following conversation is taken from Wikivoyage/Logo 2013/Submissions#Option 22 - The dhow (II):

Already proposed last October. This is a proposal which focuses on the dhow, a vessel used in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean region, imho an excellent example of crosscultural connector. I was unhappy with the old version, made for the last year contest, because it wasn't enough "rounded". I've tried to smooth it out. I'm just an amateur graphic designer, so please help me with suggestions and svg-ification. --Pequod76(talk) 21:00, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The red line needs a white border or something if you but it on a colored background. --TMg 21:06, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I've put a white background. --Pequod76(talk) 21:35, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely prefer the old version, since the new one looks to have grabbed an element directly from the Meta logo. --Peter Talk 20:59, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely true. But... don't you think that the old one is too less rounded? Maybe I can quit the grabbed elements and leave the new version with no borders? I perceive the new versione better centered. Thanks for your comment. --Pequod76(talk) 11:54, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's a third option now. :) These are all sketches, bad realized in terms of graphic technique. --Pequod76(talk) 16:06, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And a fourth. --Pequod76(talk) 16:28, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any need for a circle in the logo. The first option looks cleanest and simplest to me, and those are things to aim for! --Peter Talk 18:12, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your suggestions. I've put a fifth attempt. --Pequod76(talk) 23:34, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Fifth option is by far the best. Simple, but dynamic. Nick1372 (talk) 22:14, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Nick: 5° it's the best (same reasons) --Andyrom75 (talk) 23:25, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is a very strange rig. Does not look like any lateen I have ever seen. What is the blue supposed to be? · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 13:53, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! This was my point of departure. I've seen myself some dhows in East Africa, but with many different sets of rigs. (I'm not an expert!). --Pequod76(talk) 07:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see. The sails are set in opposite directions. Very strange. I wonder if they ever actually do that. the yards would more normally be set parallel. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 09:50, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It seems you are right. Anyway, it's easy to divert the blue lateen, in order to give it the same shape as the green one. Do you think is it worth it? :) --Pequod76(talk) 20:58, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
