So I'm appealing to all the loyal chocolate followers to come up with suggestions, ideas and (if you're up for it) actual examples.
Link or upload your images in replies to this posting for everyone to comment on.
The 'winner' will replace the current logo for the site, and be used as a basis to re-do the graphical elements of the site (and perhaps even the layout).
There is no official prize as such, but there may be rewards in the form of a free chocolate sample or two and any chocolate review merchandise that features the logo will net a small financial reward for every product sold.

In the navigation/site content or in the forum system?
Both! They look an anaemic, almost coffee colour at the moment. I think a darker colour - perhaps the same shade as your choc chunk avatar and stars - would look great

Remember how a finger of KitKat used to have 'Rowntrees' engraved on it in handwriting? I would like to see a finger of KitKat with the word 'chocolate' in the same style. Then the word 'review' could be made up of wrapper scans. Sorry I don't have photoshop or similar at work because I could show you what I mean.

I love it except for the mixture of upper and lower case characters and that's just me being picky (as usual).

Would you eat it though? Are you not amazed it isn't pink?

Yep, although it'd be nice to have one that can be used at higher resolutions - I'd have to make our current logo again using the wrapper scans and I don't really want to have to do that
Post by: goldencup on July 14, 2007, 12:46:37 pm
I don't understand - excuse my ignorance but what would be the advantage of being able to use the logo at higher resolutions (and what does that mean anyway)? Please explain in simple English that a person of my advanced years can understand.
Post by: loulou on July 14, 2007, 04:32:39 pm
So do we have a winner yet or do you not see anything that takes your fancy chocadmin?

The difference between high and low res is about image quality. On the web it doesn't make a huge amount of difference because monitor quality varies so much, but if Chocadmin wanted to use the logo in print - say a magazine wanted to do a feature about it - he would need to have it in high res. It would also be useful if he wanted to produce merchandise.

I would like to try and have a go at making one please, but if there is not enough time then that is fine as it may take me a few days!!

What about taking cross sections of various bars that have also been cut in outline to resemble the letters required to make up the title?
