Good thinking. Here's a few things worth using, while I remember:

IndieDB popularity banner
19616.png

(link to IndieDB profile: http://www.indiedb.com/games/hearts-of-oak)

HoO logo (300px wide)
Logo_new3_half_300px.png

Full size (900px wide) logo
Logo_new3_half.png

White logo (for brighter backgrounds)
Logo_new3_half_white.png

(I don't have a 300px white logo, but can provide one if needed)

Full wheel logo
Logo_new3.png


Small wheel icon

PA! logo (400px wide)

Light logo (400px wide)

Pieter - For the Twitter page, do you think it would be good to have the HoO, New Horizons and GOF logos featured on the left side?

Can do. Have we got a good GoF Logo somewhere? I might still have the NH one.

Also, how does that page display on other resolutions? I think that could throw some things out of whack where "side stuff" is concerned.
 
300px versions for consistency:
potc_logo_300px.png

GoF_Logo_300px.png

The side stuff is probably fine on most modern screens.
 
Not a bad idea. I did have this here:



Though perhaps that could use some HoO-updating. :wp
New one!



Edit: Why the CRAPPALONI does this forum INSIST on displaying this with a white line between the two rows of pictures?
It does the same with my signature. Looks pretty CRAP! :whipa

This should display better, though it does have a few less links incorporated:

 
This one might be better to "catch the eye", so to say:



Edit: Also, posts split to their own, separate thread. Opening post redone to contain the latest banners.

Cool banners! The PA! logo looks a bit hard to read, though. I think it might look better on the right side, if that doesn't mess up the multi-links banner.
 
When I tried before, that made it even harder to read. Here's my second try:
Promotion Simple Moved Logo.jpg

Would you say that is an improvement? Or not so much....?

Edit: Or what if we make the PA! Logo bigger?

That's certainly an improvement. :onya
How would it look if, instead of having white 'clouds' behind the logos, the entire image had a white-to-transparent gradient going from top to bottom? Just a thought.
 
Something like this, you mean?
Promotion Simple V5.jpg

It doesn't improve on the vibrant colours of the background, but then.... backgrounds with vibrant colours are tricky anyway.
 
The first one you posted is great, gives people infomation right there and then they can follow it up if they want too
 
As per @Ashinokami's suggestion, here are three additional variations:

Light PA! Logo + Coloured HoO Logo:
Promotion Simple V6 Colour.jpg


Light PA! Logo + White HoO Logo:
Promotion Simple V6 White.jpg


Light PA! Logo + Grey HoO Logo:
Promotion Simple V6 Grey.jpg


While I personally tend to like colour, I reckon the "Light PA! Logo + White HoO Logo" does match up pretty well.
At least all text and logos have a similar colour scheme that seem to fit together.
 
Looking really nice ;) Will use them
 
But which one? :razz
lol sorry!

I would go for the upper one.

EDIT: meaning - Light PA! Logo + Coloured HoO Logo:
Reason: I like the overall coloring - and I do not think we should tamper with the colors of the HoO logo. Better to have people recognize it as it is, and not change it to much at the moment.
