I want the site name up there in big letters, and to get rid of the latin phrases and junk. The logo needs to promote the site and be very clear about that. It should not confuse people - let the content do that. :) --Nerd42 19:52, 4 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

Latin Phrases and junk? but its a work of art, subliminally exquisite. dont knock the logo. plus, the main page does kinda have our name on it, and the tabs you for the site, and the title name. I would have thought it would be a illogiload to have it everywhere, it would be like coke, and everyone knows that it just tastes cack and makes you wizz alot, we dont want people needing the toilet while reading ?pedia.--Silent Penguin 20:24, 4 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

No dude, seriously, we need the site name on the logo. We might not need it in all these other places, but we need it on the logo. The logo appears in many places both on and off our site. It needs to make who we are very clear to everyone. That's it's job. If it's confusing, it's not doing it's job. --Nerd42 14:42, 5 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

The name and logo are both there. Look a bit closer. Aid Epoc Igolli = Illogicopedia backwards. Wouldn't that be logical for an illogical wiki? -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 15:47, 5 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I see your point, though. A rethink on the text might be in order. I don't think it would take a genius to understand that Illogicopedia is all nonsense, just by looking at the front page, or even the logo. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 10:31, 6 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, don't spell the name backwards, cause that's confusing. Just print the name. Maybe turn it backwards on April Fools Day or whatever but the normal logo should have the site's name easily readable and understandable. Just because the site is about nonsense doesn't mean the various elements shouldn't still do their jobs. Having the name of the site up there is important so people remember it. They should be like, "The banana place? Yeah, that's Illogicopedia!" not "The banana place? Yeah, I don't know/remember it was called." --Nerd42 18:49, 8 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I've put in my attempt of adding a clear "Illogicopedia" without otherwise changing it too much. Feel free to replace it if you can come up with a better one. --The Divine Fluffalizer 17:51, 9 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

well, it's an improvement over what was there before but the contrast isn't very good on the banana. but I'm still for completely getting rid of the words "AID EPOC IGOLLI Phrubub Nose The Cheese" and putting the name of the site written front-ways there instead. --Nerd42 16:22, 10 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I tend to agree with Nerd on this actually. I think three lots of text might be a bit much for people. Would something along the lines of this be better? -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 16:58, 10 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

Not me against. The text under "ILLOGICOPEDIA" could be a little weirder, though, as a compromise. "Eeble nonsense and sonks", or somesuch. And perhaps "AID EPOC IGOLLI" could be added in the form of a smaller, subdued scribbling on the banana as a crypical message? Or as an alternative to that whole suggestion, scribbling a few well-choosen nonsense words on the banana, similar to how many wikis have symbols on their logo. --The Divine Fluffalizer 19:56, 10 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I'm definitely for Image:logo_sensible.png ... except that the edges look a little blurred ... it might be just my monitor. :) --Nerd42 17:11, 10 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

Your all being a bunch of lame pounces, you gotta be kidding me right, what are you guys doing? your taking all the life out of the site, soon its just gonna be faceless and boring. people don't need the site name everywhere, it doesn't take a genius to work out the name of our site, its not like we are trying to sell something, we are just for entertainment. Honestly. this is a waste of time but if your really that bothered about it, then i will do something, but the site name is in five places on the main page already (on the main page itself, top of my window, tab, windows start bar and the address bar). Its never been a problem before now, so why all of a sudden?--Silent Penguin 22:42, 10 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I must concur with silentPenguin, never have I been to a place I liked and been " Well look, there is no loge. However shall I remember this place! Oh well" People look at the URL, they say " Oh I like this site, Why let us look at the URL or th many other places the name is mentioned...hmm.hmm.hmm.. Oh, illogicopedia. I shall remember this"

Sure I just made everyone who comes here stupid but that is ok, having your name on a logo won't make that big of a difference. If an outside site links to ?pedia with the logo they will most likely describe it in some way on the site. I think the Aid epoc igolli was awesome, I just found out by reading here that it was illogicopedia backwards, if someone realized that. Guess what, it will stick in their mind.

Just pick something that looks cool, who cares about whats on it (that much)

Oh. And I like the original. and the current. Doesn't matter much to me. This is not so much as a comment as much as it is my thoughts. Slinking ferret 23:10, 10 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

No. I vote for the original. --Sir Asema ^Politics _{Complaint Inbox or Outbox}

A random idea; how about...

AID EPOC IGOLLI
aidepolcycnelacisnesnonehT

...? Makes it a bit more obvious. --The Divine Fluffalizer 23:46, 10 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I've had enough of this, my brain hurts. It's become an argument... I'm gonna let some other people decide this one. I would only suggest trying not to make the logo too complicated and that I think the 'Phrubub' one we had before this conversation was started was adequate.
So there :) -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 10:31, 11 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

Guys, the logo's appearance on the Main Page where of course the site name is mentioned several times isn't the issue - the issue is everywhere else it appears, such as on our Wikia:Illogicopedia page and (maybe eventually) where other sites link to us. When people see the logo they should associate it with the site's name. It's a psychology thing. --Nerd42 16:06, 12 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

Illogicopedia isn't an advert, the association doesn't need to be made with a product, the only association needed with where we are, for which the logo can't do anything. we don't need to trigger someones memory because once they are here, they are here, if they want to stay they will, so please stop talking about illogicopedia like it's a business, its only a site for enjoyment.--Silent Penguin 16:20, 12 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Seppy, all in all it's just a logo - then again I liked the original slogan. --Testostereich • (ballsack) 16:27, 12 Serpeniver 2007 (UTC)

I change my mind. I like the one we got now, only replace "AID EPOC IGOLLI" with "Illogicopedia". In other words, it ought to say "Illogicopedia; in illogic we trust" --Nerd42 18:42, 3 Octodest 2007 (UTC)

The sensible one is better, AID EPOC ILLOGI tends to put new users off. When I first joined I thought it was in a different language.

where'd the current banana come from?

So I'm basically looking for a way to like, totally cheat in the current contest. Can I get a vector version of the current logo? Or the banana and "I" thingy as separate files please? Thanks.

Also, what font are we using on the logo? --Nerd42 01:15, 16 Yoon 2011 (UTC)

The main font is Garamond Premier, or just Garamond. When I smoothed off the logo in Illustrator, it didn't consist of separate components, just the flat version of the full logo. Silent Penguin might have the original banana png, which I believe he created all by himself. An unsmoothed version of the 'I' can be found here and the forum banana here, though. Seems you found a replacement 'nana, anyway. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 13:26, 16 Yoon 2011 (UTC)

Holiday logos

I wanted to replace the logo with this:

For our 'MURIKAn day of in de pen dunces from Great Britains, what with all the Tea Parties and Rednecks with Fireworks and whatnot. But it doesn't seem to work. What's the deal? --Nerd42 (talk) 04:05, 4 Jumbly 2014 (UTC)

If it's not caching, you have my permission to lynch me. I'll still fight back with my arsenal of toads, of course, but you'll at least have permission. -— Athyria 05:36, 4 Jumbly 2014 (UTC)

Tanks. Next I need to be ready with something for Internetitary Type Like A Pirate Day in September. --Nerd42 (talk) 08:21, 4 Jumbly 2014 (UTC)

We might need to change it back since Pirate Day was about 4 days ago now. @Marzipan (talk) 04:38, 23 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

Go for it. -— Athyria 18:12, 25 Serpeniver 2014 (UTC)

the pirate logo

I'm changing it early this year cause otherwise I'll forget. Anybody have any bright ideas for a STAR WARS logo on the day the new movie comes out?

I'm thinking make it out of Stargate/Trek stuff, because illogical. --Nerd42 (talk) 02:59, 18 Serpeniver 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. I'd also be pleased to see you write something. Old school 42-style Nerdist propaganda targeting vulnerable people who think that plants are secretly eating them while they sleep. Or something else, maybe. Cheers! (kaizum me) 04:41, 18 Serpeniver 2015 (UTC)
