Talk:Branding

Would it possible to attach all previous logos, icons, fonts etc. to this page, or, at least, hyperlink on this page to repositories of all previous resource materials (with associated dates of having been in use, and record of first introduction/reveal) in this regard? Would it be possible to have this page be the dated, historical record of Oolite branding development and progression?

Example: Oolite (progress) LiveJournal Userpic 2004apr07tue - ??? (proof of start-date)

My concern is that even on the initial 2006-01-03T18:26:46 post of the Oolite wikipage, the original, blue logo (in use at the time of the initial posting of that page) has now been replaced by the new, red logo.

Let not our origins be forgotten, as happens to the location of Old Earth in GalCop Space! ...nor as happened during the Great Deletion.

Thanks for your consideration of this request.

Thy eminence,

Phkb uploaded the new logo with the name of the old.

But. If you look at the pages with the files on them (if that is the correct description) you will see that the original is still there, somehow: File:Oolite-logo3.png & File:Oolite-logo2.png.

Despite my supposed wizardly capabilities, I know not how to emblazon Seventh's original logo on another page here.

I beg, sir, to remain yours etc.,

Woo-hoo! Yee-Haw! Yippee-hi-ho-kah-yay! :D I thought those files had been lost. Thank you, Commander Cholmondeley. I'm no wiki-wizard either, but I'll have a go at it.

...

If I understand correctly, could the new, red-logo filenames perhaps be renamed differently, so that they do not clash with the original, blue-logo filenames, and, thus, hopefully, restore the blue logos on historical pages where they belong, and add the red ones to new pages? ...or am I not grasping the full complexity of the situation?

I'll have to speak to my landlord regarding letting you be mine. He's not big on pets. Perhaps I can persuade him to let you stay in the basement. etc. ;p
