Project Logo

I may not be a part of the project, but I was bored and was looking at your logo / symbol and noticed the "SP" in the Sonic head seems to say "Sonic Project" more than "Sega Project" and the Sonic head may violate copyright. I don't know how attached you are to the current design, but I whipped up rough drafts of two possible new designs anyway. They may still be a little derivative and probably need more work. Tell me what you think.

The one on the right keeps the elements in the current logo: the letters SP in the shape of Sonic's head

The one on the left is inspired by other video game Wikiprojects (Nintendo and Sims) CIGraphix (talk) 05:34, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Probably just as bad either way. We'll let consensus decide, though, not one person. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 23:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Our current logo is to simple to be under copyright, like the sonic ball, if we made it blue it would be different, i'm sure we are okay for now, thought i will make a few designs myself if change is really necessary. Gaogier ^Chat! 03:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Both the user's who uploaded

&

Are both in trouble for multiple copyright image issues and I think these images are copyright and i think they should go for speedy deletion, anybody agree, I know they are nice but nice is not always best, sometimes you have to lose what you like and this is one of those times.Gaogier ^{How can I help?} 03:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Though i would like someone to look further into the matter first Gaogier ^{How can I help?} 03:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Though they may look like copyright violations, there's a good chance they may be free. You see, anyone with a camera can take a picture, but if you're skilled with Photoshop, you can cut out the background like they have. Now, it would be a good idea to bring this up at WP:MCQ, though, Gaogier, so if you want to take care of that, our problems can be solved there.

Id rather not bring it up then, lets keep them :) instead of putting them at risk Gaogier ^{How can I help?} 10:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

"Logo"

Your logo (an alteration of the Sonic Team's logo) is a derivative work and cannot be released into the public domain and has since been deleted. Please find a new logo that can be released into the public domain.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 08:33, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

It was checked and passed as okay previously. While we decide on a new logo, I've snapped together a temporary one.

Hope this works for a little while at least. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 21:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Here is another version of one I had listed above, I'm still not happy with the W's font since it is just Times but its better than using Sega's font like the placeholder in the previous version: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4131/wpsega2ka0.gif

The design is sort of like what the Sonic series often uses but since the iris thing and banner are items often used in many things and it lacks details like the wings the Sonic design uses, so I don't think it is derivative (although it might need some color changes to become totally non-derivative). Does it say Sega enough though? CIGraphix (talk) 23:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

The previous logo was a recolored silouhette of Sonic's head that's used in the Sonic Team logo. That's why I deleted it. The temp is sufficient.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

The previous logo was created by User:Gaogier and approved by User:ReyBrujo, who said he believed it was different enough and simple enough to not be under copyright, though he was not 100%. I think it's a little subjective on the derivation, but then again most derivative work that has been changed substantially from its original is pretty subjective as to whether it is derivative or not. Oh well, ours not to reason why, and in my opinion ours not to argue with copyrights. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 01:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Fixed the Barnstar

I got a temporary barnstar fixed up too

Thoughts? Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 04:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I like the barnstar but, I saw the barnstar's template and I think you should make the barnstar in the template bigger (the usual size is 100px). Unknown the Hedgehog 17:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Members List

We need to split the list to active and inactive members as it is not working out looking for members to talk to, it should be easy just click a member and they are ready to go, anyone with the same idea ?? Gaogier ^{How can I help?}

I agree completely if you're willing to implement it, Gaogier. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 23:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

You run this wikiproject now not me, you choose weather to go ahead with things or not, i'm not what I was and I cannot really help anyone now 81.102.232.12 (talk) 21:15, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
