A wordmark is one of the first things a new users sees when they enter the wiki for the first time. This should be one that envelopes our community in a way that expresses who we are and what we stand for. The reason that I have brought this up is that over the course of the last few months, the talk about changing wordmarks to a quad-seasonal change or no change at all, came about. While there were these chat discussions, no real action was taken from there. Additionally, as you may know, the community decided last year to have the wordmark be updated each month to include the gemstone dragon of the month. But, now that the last original gemstone has been released, it feels like a good time to consider whether we want to continue that or make a change. Here are 4 general options for selecting a wordmark:
- The first is the monthly gemstone wordmark which has already been selected by the community in the past and is currently in use. This changes along with the gemstone dragon on the first of every month, and stays like that all month! These wordmarks contain an adult dragon, a baby dragon, two of the same egg, and the decoration that is released along side the dragon.
- The second is a wordmark that changes four times a year. This would generally contain the Seasonal Dragon look of that season, along with a season dragon, supposing Backflip Studios follows their pattern with this season’s Spring Dragon. Along with these dragons, would be two of the seasonal dragon eggs (if there is no Summer, Autumn, and Winter dragons) or one of each egg as shown in the following image. This would also include this season’s Seasonal Habitat.
- The third is a very basic, never changing wordmark that covers the entire bases of the game and the community aspect of the wiki all at once. This shows a wizard along with an entrance portal surrounded with visitors and the plant dragon shown on the loading screen.
- The final wordmark is a very basic wordmark with the logo shown on the loading screen along with the word “Wiki” (which is included in all the other options as well).
These are just four options I have developed. I understand that there are millions of others, and that is why this forum was created. You can come up with unique wordmarks or ideas bellow. The only conditions that should be met is that the words "DragonVale Wiki" are incorporated into the proposed idea. After the community discussion we will capture the top three ideas and open a separate forum to select which option we wish to present for a changewill capture the top three ideas and open a separate forum to select which option we wish to present for a change.
