It’s now time to bring a new feel to this very familiar community website!
…..Steve Jobs may have left us, but we’re big fans of “think different and keep it simple”.
YOUR OBJECTIVE
To create a new logo for Castanet.net
General guidelines;
• The new logo should be – Crisp with a touch of elegant simplicity, however, we wish to
maintain the openness of the current logo, nothing too dramatically different
• The 4 colours should be retained in the logo
• The logo will be set against a yellow background (as the current logo) when used on
the splash page – but may be set against a white ground when used elsewhere
• Change the font to fit the new logo image – Upscale with clarity.
THOUGHTS ON THE CURRENT LOGO;
likes:
distinctive, unique, colourful, cheerful, whimsical, & informal; with 4 primary
colours & an attractive gradient.
dislikes:
a bit too blocky & heavy; with rather strong outlines in both black & white…
reminds one of a kid’s building blocks.
