I am updating the Logo to represent the far reaches of DOW beyond just one area... Below are some ideas and if you have one, please post or comment.

Mutua Respectu: Latin for "mutual respect "
virtual fun
virtual war simulation
virtual simulation
immersive simulation

I requested PE look into this.
This is just for the "dogs head" logo. He originally created it. We will integrate it into the banner created by Stardog.
Contributions please

Real Simulation

My choice would be the first logo. It wins hands down for me for these reasons:
(1) Virtual has the 'R' flipped-horizontally and the letters 'V' and 'U' in contrasting yellow to the other letters.
(2) The 'R' in Virtual is consistent with the letter 'R' in War which is at the bottom of the logo. Both are flipped horizontally to resemble Russian Cyrillic.
For those special effects alone, I recommend to you DOW's new logo.
But I am sure a committee will make the decision.
And since we are talking about design, I also like Judge Dredd's signature. Lots of yellow and avant garde design with the Leo shown in incomplete shape and in angled/asymmetrical fashion.
-
The Judge Dredd sig was made by PanzersEast
I agree with what you say Frankie regarding your choice, in that it fits the bill. However it is not my choice at this point as i have not decided yet.
The regular members will decide :)
-
First one is really good and I agree with Frankie.
Good points Frankie!

I made a list of names a while ago..... i can't find it lololol

Looks great.

PanzersEast can you change the "U" in Virtual and see what it looks like please? At the moment it looks like a "4".
Thanks
-
I like the second or the last one

Sigh......I need an eye test...It is already there...Sorry :-*

I really like the Second Logo, I think it's perfect.

Simulatus
Latin for "imitated" ...Simulation

Hi PanzersEast
Thanks for the signatures. All three look great. My favorite is the 3rd signature. It looks like the tank ended up submerged in a lake. Like in SBeasts. Harhar.

Personally, I like the existing logo with "STEEL BEASTS" at the top. However, I understand that you may want to use the logo in other games/forums, etc. and do not want to be restrictive. But, Steel Beasts IS the reason we are here. As far as the various examples, I do not like the 'cyrillic" style. The backward letters just grates my eyes when I look at it. Initially, it looks like a spelling mistake. And we are not Russian! And just having "VIRTUAL" at the top leaves me feeling that something is left out. Virtual is an adjective and needs a noun to be complete. Are we "Virtual Dogs of War"?. Not to sure about "SIMWAR" either. It is an abbreviation for what we are doing but...

The VU came together originally for SB. However as time has gone by other Sims, strategy and war-games have been added to the group. I have felt for a long time that the current logo may be misleading. Some of our members do not play SB. Therefor a generic logo is the best way forward.
We have not decided on a final amendment and all input is appreciated. If you have any ideas then please do not hesitate to contribute.
Regards

Whatever is decided, I appreciate the artistic ability of PanzerEast. I agree with Conn that our core simulation is Steel Beasts; however, we are able to operate in other environments such as Arma, DCS, and Insurgency to name a few. I do like Latin mottos since I'm a retired Marine (Semper Fidelis). With that in mind, I thought "Semper Simulatus" which basically translates to "Always Simulating" could be used. Just my two cents worth and in no way am in love with the idea.
-
Pugna Simulatus
Latin for "conflict simulation"
-
Second or the last one for me 8)
-
Semper lude
always play
-
Mutua Respectu: Latin for "mutual respect "
Our core ethos.
The first post is updated with the suggestions so far.
-
I do still think that first one. "Virtual" is the best. :)
Sincerely ~ Lumi
-
Just a thought, but how about virtual fun, virtual war simulation, virtual simulation, or immersive simulation?
Maybe for more words to make it a circle instead?
If I had to go with one that was already thought of and on the list before my post, I would have to say pugna simulatus, or real simulation/s.
I am not too sure about the Cyrillic text either, but will decide that when the final motto is picked, and see what it looks like.
I think it should be more about the motto, then about how it looks. It needs to encompass what we are now, and where we are going.

Using mix of different kind of letters, even Cyrillic makes it more clear that all are welcome. Not just ones from west. I like first one especially since of those Cyrillic ones.
And to pick one from your list, it would be "Immersive simulation" for me.
-
First post updated.
Please highlight/make bold your suggestions
-
If I'm not to late for my 2 cents worth :)
I have to agree with Connaugh to some extent, I used to play SB but have switch to ARMA 3. I think if you want to have Steel Beast on it so be it, If you want it to be ARMA 3 so be it also. I would like to have a insignia ARMA 3 so that I can display it on the uniform.
But this is just my 2 cents :)

Hi JohnO
Nothing is decided yet and all input from DOW members is equally valued and appreciated.
We did originally start off as a SB group. However we have grown and some members have joined that do not have SB and may never want it. A more generic moto that is representative of our group is the way forward.
Your comments have been noted and will be considered.
Regards
-
I am going to pick number Three of the current designs if no others will be used.

Ok, then I would pick number three.

How about having this image on the logo: a troll with a red No-entry diagonal slash across it.

lolololol...Funny but no :)

So where are we with deciding on the change to the logo? I think we should decide on this in the near future, for the community of the VU. So at this time I ask for a meeting, or a vote on the forum to decide as to the logo name of choice.

Hi Cougar
We just have to finalise it. Lets give it one more week then we pick from what we have. Hopefully get more suggestions.
Regards
-
I'll still go for #1. #3's good too. But I'll stick to #1.

Any more ideas?
I have a few. I will share shortly.
I would like to get this finalised.

Put Sim/War/Strategy in the top.

You have until this Sunday 20/03/16 to add your voice to this.

Honour in Fairness
Air Sea Land
Realistic Virtuality
Play it real!
others will come when they will come into my mind!
-
Either "Sim War Strategy" or as Renders suggested - Air Land Sea. Virtual on top implies that the name of the group is Virtual Dogs of War. Maybe it's just me but I would read it this way if I didn't know the group. I vote for Air Land Sea if it can be considered one of the options.

How about to pick there something that divides us from other groups things named Dogs of War... Maybe like name title instead of description. I remember there was such thing on the past such as Black Dogs. So maybe not to pick color but umm. Symbol word or something... Like Brave
Dunno really.. Just tossing this out of my mind

Unum Primum = Unit First in Latin
As that should be the thinking when in a virtual unit.
Just a suggestion :)

United in difference

United in difference
That sounds weird. I guess because of two words that have opposite meaning's. (good - bad)

by the way. difference is not a bad thing lumi ...
and that would be the power of that words: united (we're friends) in difference (i'am a rocknroll tech, cougar is a security chief, your a lumber, that is a difference and it's not bad.

I know and I agree the wisdom behind. It just sounds really weird like that.

Simpler colors improved readability. It's a good choice in my opinion.

Hi Cougar
The las one is the same as the one above apart from the words "Friendship" & "Respect". They are in white so may be harder to see. It was created to account for a dark background.

Finalised
Variations are to account for different backgrounds.

I dont really like this new version with red color... red color feels like too much. Like there would be too much colors. as if it would not be simplistic and easy anymore. Also it looks more aggressive.

Here's a more subdued version:
