The Onemoreblock Logo

Post by ThatOneFox »

When OneMoreBlock started, the idea was that it would host servers and promote discussion of blocky games. This purpose has been changed recently, and the website has become more suited for hosting the Atmosphir server. Due to this change, the logo has kind of become obsolete, and the logo makes OneMoreBlock look and feel like a forum made for someone's minecraft server (which it kind of was, but then the MC server went down and so did the cube world server).

Basically, I need your opinions. Do you think we should keep the current logo, or change it. Also, instead of just designing a new logo, I think we should all have a go at designing one, and then vote for the one we like the best. Logos should be 930x96 and should be transparent.

Anyway, if you all wanna see my attempt at a logo:

Frankly, if I had my way, I'd change the logo, the name, AND the color scheme, to be much more reminiscent of Atmosphir.

I think I will give a whack at designing a logo, as I think in a way distancing ourselves, at least a little bit, from Minecraft might be a thought as we look towards a more Atmosphir atmosphere. I can see why you might want to change the name, TheLastLink. I personally wouldn't want to, especially with how accustomed I think people are. However, I suppose that is always up for debate and I will always have my own opinions on that.

In terms of colour schemes, I could see us wanting to maybe lighten the blue tones towards a more Atmosphir-ish colouring. However, I think Atmosphir was also sort of attributed with navy-blue (such as the old beta site and T-shirt design) However, again I could see a brighter colour working :)

(Just so I'm clear, this is NOT meant as an advertisement)

Reasons why we should change the name:

Image

Minecraft-related website.

Another Minecraft-related website.

The Search Results for "One More Block" on youtube.
(note the minecraft suggestions)

And the google search results.

Yes, we do show up twice... Among a bunch of other minecraft-related suggestions.

Or maybe it's because I never liked the name. I dunno.

Maybe keep everything for now, or change the name, or I suggest one of these logos.

FIRSTLY: don't change the name, this will lead to confusion

SECONDLY: don't change the logo, there is no need for it

AND LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL:

move to a different website one last time to reflect the recent changes in attitude, moderation, and especially the newfound purpose for this site

{alright basically im saying we make a new forum and call it exosphir}

Anyway
I just don't think you can seperate the name "One more block" from Minecraft. Honestly.

you might as well throw away atmosphir all together and make it a minecraft forum if you're going to keep it as onemoreblock

The fact that it was called "onemoreblock" when it was originally going to be a (WAIT FOR IT) MINECRAFT server is telling enough, to me.

Am I the only one that actually likes the name "OneMoreBlock"? Yeah, many times the phrase is used in regards to Minecraft, but I think it's just a nice name for a community.

It actually wasn't originally going to be a minecraft server. It was a way to keep the community together, but it did host a server at the time.

Why would this be necessary at all?

For reference, this was my quick mockup of a logo that started the discussion:

Honestly, the main reason it was named one more block was because no one had taken the domain. Seriously, it's HARD to find a domain name that isn't taken (and doesn't involve some sort of misspelling, which we all wanted to avoid).

We almost went for CreativeGamer.net, which wasn't taken (at the time?), but we decided we wanted a .com.

Even though we did host an MC server, One More Block was never intended to be about Minecraft. It was meant to be about blocky games in general, of which Atmosphir is one.

Note the "and doesn't involve some sort of misspelling" part :P

At this point, I don't think switching over is worth it because we've climbed pretty high in the Google search results for "Atmosphir" and that would all be reset if we changed.
