Title: New logo

You may have noticed a very slight change to the Carcassonne Central logo at the top of each page. The difference between the two words was bugging me, so now they are much more similar. I have also updated the rules templates with the new logo: http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=184 (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=184)

At the Homepage there is the old logo.

The old site will eventually be going away.

Funnily enough, I was just thinking this morning that the logo should change to 'Central' being in the Carcassonne font!

Here are a couple of variations (correcting the font of 'Central'):

Hi Joff,
I like the second variation.

Only a thought:
the first word "Carcassonne" with the tile from the winter-edition and the second word "Central" with the tile from the basic game.

I don't like them mismatched, but a winter version of the logo would be good for towards the end of the year when Z-Man publishes the Winter Edition.

I switched over the favicon, Apple touch icon, and Facebook profile picture to match the new logo. The yellow C stands out better.

I personally like Joff's first variation. The two C's looking the same is a good link between the two words

Now we have a pretty logo on the website, but the icon in the bookmarks of my browser is not so good. I think it is dark grey on middle grey with light grey ... I think, there could be some enhancement, too.

At the old forum is the new bookmark with the yellow C, but not here for the new forum.
Also at facebook is the yellow C.

These are not identical - the second version has snow on all the letters.

I did update the icon, but your browser is loading from the cache on your computer. You need to force it to load the new icon. For example, in Google Chrome, you can do this by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+R.

Thanks to Joff for the Winter logos. I think I prefer the one with the snow on all the letters. Are you able to also make a large C logo (needs to be at least 180x180)?

Joff, is it possible to create a such big Winter C, too?

Just the 'C' with no tile?

I think Scott needs the big C for our facebook page.

I like both big C in the Winter (with the tile and without the tile) if possible.

Here is a version of a snowy 'C':

The tile version will be a little more difficult.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm looking for a Winter version of what I have now:

It's not exactly that good and I don't really like it. I'll refresh it when I get a better scan.

I doubt you've noticed, but I have also adjusted each logo - correcting the 't' and the 'l' of the font. They are both a little higher now.

I read the second word as control and did not even realise it until after a few seconds. That might just be me though. Still, making it a wee bit bigger (if possible) would not hurt I think.

Unfortunately it's already as big as the forum template will allow. I had to put both words on one line to get it as big as it is.
