It's just what roguelikes are about... @ descending stairs endlessly. The rest is up to the players imagination. I agree with what someone said that the realization is not perfect but the concept is just great! The black on white variant makes for a very simple icon that can be easily recognized anywhere in any size. Just change up the font and it will be perfect!<br /><br />I'd sure love to have him design a Wikidot theme.Freddy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218808695586811095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-27954954240322310312012-02-02T22:00:06.320+01:002012-02-02T22:00:06.320+01:001.

However, If I could change something from Kalle's design I would move the dragon more to the right so that it doesn't cover up some of the beautiful ADOM II text.pnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086000720080633764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-78574193221050728772012-02-02T20:44:28.811+01:002012-02-02T20:44:28.811+01:00In addition, it's kind of hard to tell that th...In addition, it's kind of hard to tell that the swords are supposed to be the "II" in "ADOM II".faradanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366120828660252789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-58024205308007971732012-02-02T19:21:08.761+01:002012-02-02T19:21:08.761+01:00Juuti for first choice, Ravenmore for second.Juuti for first choice, Ravenmore for second.Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823976829299843142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-85954259069023616562012-02-02T15:07:34.999+01:002012-02-02T15:07:34.999+01:00Ravenmore's design wins my vote, its clean and...Ravenmore's design wins my vote, its clean and simple, but captures everything ADOM is about (dungeon exploration, clever use of ascii representations, and the @ ). The webpage design could do with a little work - expanding the central display area by reducing the sidebars size so they're less intrusive on the eye and space wasting would really help - but otherwise a very strong design!<br /><br />Tero Juuti's design gets the second place star though, it is also clean and simple, without descending too far into just using ascii. ADOM really isn't about textures so I like the block colours and attention placed on visibility when scaling the icon. Unfortunately Ravenmore's design simply has more elements that can be used as a focus in other elements of the design and as such gets pipped to the post.<br /><br />I'd also like to say the other designs are awesome too, a lot of good work has gone into them! Well done guys!PseudoFentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054154200055912286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-9439565216226952952012-02-02T14:42:22.977+01:002012-02-02T14:42:22.977+01:00Hello, first time commenting after years of readin...Hello, first time commenting after years of reading but I found I couldnt in good conscience vote for Ravenmore or Mazur exclusively without adding my 2 cents. <br /><br />At the very least I just wanted to say I'm supporting the hope that they (Ravenmore & Mazur) may collaborate as I believe the result could be incredible :) such a nice design would be a huge bonus for the game, which is what I believe we all want anyways.<br /><br />Might as well mention my vote went to Ravenmore for the impressive logo, however once again I'm really hoping to see what those two could come up with now.<br /><br />Also I have much respect for all of the entries, I wish I had any talent to contribute too :PWillzrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03226384633573952466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-43273105061135486502012-02-02T14:30:04.088+01:002012-02-02T14:30:04.088+01:00I really like Kalle Kolari idea-it has everything:...I really like Kalle Kolari idea-it has everything:<br />dragon(symbolizing monsters we are goin to face)<br />shining vast sky(as for world we are goin to explore)<br />and ofcourse dungeons.<br />Im sorry Thomas i didnt sent you my proposals (lack of inspiration & six-year-old artistic skills) but i see here are some great constructive works so hope you are not dissapointed ;)flashdoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421180509812594888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-85211656017547557202012-02-02T13:53:44.757+01:002012-02-02T13:53:44.757+01:00Tero Juuti's logo with black background is rea...Tero Juuti's logo with black background is really classyNonamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885577626071573582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-27716607071171421302012-02-02T13:51:18.458+01:002012-02-02T13:51:18.458+01:00I think Mazur's design would work great with a...I think Mazur's design would work great with a version with graphical tiles.
