[edit] Logo image

This WikiProject looks like a good idea to improve the AOE articles. The current WikiProject logo (Image:Age of Empires Series Unnoficial Home-Made Logo.JPG) is rather hard to read though. I'd like to offer this one as a replacement:

It was made from scratch with MS Paint. If there are no objections, I'll put it into Template:AoE Banner after 5 days. Robotman¹⁹⁷⁴ 13:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you, my image is dificult to read. But, ive got a suggestion: You could add 2 tildes (~~) around the word of so that you get something like this: ~of~; this way, the logo will be more siiliar to the official one. Also, could it also be employed in the wiki-project userbox? TomasBat (@)(Contributions)(Sign!) 20:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll make and upload an alternate version with "~of~" in the middle, but I'm not sure if this should get any closer to the copyrighted logo. In any case, here's what the project template and userbox would look like with the new image:

I think that newer one looks better actually. Robotman¹⁹⁷⁴ 21:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree... Thanks for the preview! TomasBat (@)(Contributions)(Sign!) 21:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I think neither un-offical logo is good; they don't look "real". I think we should look for something better (no idea what though; I'll try to think of something). · AO ^Talk 21:58, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I say that we employ the last un-official logo until we find something better, if we auctually do get to find something better... TomasBat (@)(Contribs)(Sign!) 22:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think copyrighted images are allowed for this kind of thing, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I'll insert Image:ProjAOE.png into both templates now. If something better does come up though, I'm all for it. Robotman¹⁹⁷⁴ 22:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
