Celestia should have a logo

Post #1by shirish » 16.03.2008, 06:05

Hi all,
I was looking at the wikipedia page as well as here. Celestia doesn't seem to have a logo for the application. While I'm no graphic artist I have few suggestions :-

1. Have a contest for a logo
1. Make the logo as an .svg file to start of with so people could print it on t-shirts, banners etc. Would make for mass appeal/outreach exercise.
3. Put the logo under some creative commons license. Something to the tune of CC-SA-A (Creative Commons-ShareAlike-Attribution) or no Derivatives something like that.

Note:- I have been observing the changes Celestia has been making from side-lines last couple of years & it has been really great to see how the community has been building around it. Kudos to the developers :)

All suggestions, flames all welcome :)

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Haha, nice. We can have a whole Celestia cult!
An interesting idea, but I don't think it will go far, if anywhere at all outside this thread. I mean seriously, Celestia T-Shirts?

It's quite crazy...


... o_O So crazy it must might work...

... but too well. I would fear the onslaught of newcomers to the this forum. I have nothing against them, of course, but to have them pooling in and making this forum hyperactive with thousands of visitors at any given time would be... interesting. And a problem for the moderator.

Celestia will one day rule the world, replacing Microsoft or Google or whoever. But we need to take little steps.

That looks like the logo alright, anybody knows under what copyright has the logo been filed? If its under a free/copyleft license then I could upload the same to wikipedia . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestia

Actually, that's not a logo at all as far as I know. That's Celestia's
opening "Splash" page image. Is a splash page the same thing as a
logo?

The logo is just a slightly-modified rescaled version of the splash screen.

Celestia has a logo.

Here is a picture of the logo in the shortcut of my desktop.
