It has been troubling me for a long, long while. In fact, since I joined the forums. It's an awesome graphical design, but it's kinda... weird, also. I can't quite decide what it actually depicts, or if it's just cool geometric shapes or somesuch.
It looks disturbingly like a circular saw stained in dripping blood... although I have to stress that I haven't ever actually seen that in real life (yet). What kind of associations does the logo invoke in other people, if any?
Or perhaps it's a Hard Light Lava lamp or something. Where did it originally come from? Who can reveal the mystery behind the mark? Has there been previous incarnations of the holy symbol, and what did they look like? I'm too recent to have seen them... :sigh:
-
It's just a cool design. Steak made it way back when to be symbollic of... stuff. The melding of something and something. It's not meant to be anything AFAIK.
-
It's nice to know it's original.
-
I think they should have the words Freespac SCP or something like that in that logo. To me, that logo just looks like some ninja weapon.
-
Don't change the logo please. It looks fine.

i agree...

For some reason, I always thought it resembled the launch bay on an Arcadia.
-
The logo does indeed look extremely weird, but then again changing it would surely be a poor decision.
I mean, I can't figure out what the hell it's supposed to be, but at least every time I see it, I immediately think: "Ah, this must be HLP stuff". The logo is very recognisable and therefore does its job well.

You mean the hole?
-
I don't think that changing the symbol is on anyones radar atm.
-
I hope no one changes the HLP logo. The current one is fine. Why does it need to be changed in the first place? Because no one knows what it is?
-
The only person who's even mentioned changing it is nubbles, who I highly doubt has any say. :p Calm down everyone.
-
Good. Steak may have since disappeared, but his logo will stay with us now and for ever more.
-
He's shackled to a ball and chain. No surprise he's never around. ;)

You got that right..:nod:
HLP Logo is and allways will be a part of this site that is why it will never be replaced or modified

or modified
What about your avatar? :p

That's the Hammer of Hard Light, not Hard Light Productions.

Hey! What about a poster? I would really like to buy it! :D

But it uses the logo as its base image.

Well I suppose. But Windrunner's an admin so he can do what he wants. Even be hypocritical.

actualy, he's making a somewhat-humorous pun. and a very relevant one at that!
