Forum:World Cup Logo

Hey guys it's Tigernose. I'm proposing a change of logo for the World Cup. Here's the reasoning behind it:

We've had Labor Day changes in the logo, and that only applied to America. What's so wrong with the World Cup? I understand a lot of people are American, but that doesn't mean everybody is. A big chunk of our readers and users are from all corners of the world, and the World Cup is something celebrated Worldwide. Simply a change of logo would just raise awareness and get everybody in the spirit!

It's a big thing, and it doesn't matter who wins and who loses. Not only that, Americans are also part of this. Who saw the game against England? Intense match, unlucky for England but got the States into the spirit! This competition happens every 4 years, so this is a once-in-a-life time oppurtunity for the wiki.

It's not unrelated either, Club Penguin is a big fan of football (soccer), the Stadium is out often (is it out now, I don't play the game anymore, you tell me), so we could easily use sprites and images from Club Penguin.

Now, here's my ideas:


 * 1) Based on our old logo, we replace the book with the World Cup, get a soccer ball by the penguin's foot and change the colours of the balloons to either incorporate the colours of the South African flag (the venue for this year's competition), or simply have the flags of South Africa and other World Cup related things on the balloons themselves. The shirt says Club Penguin Wiki and World Cup 2010.
 * 2) There's a picture of two penguins chasing a soccer ball in the Sports Catalogue somewhere. We cut out the penguins and the ball and stick it onto the image with 'Club Penguin Wiki' above them and 'World Cup 2010' below them.
 * 3) Take the current logo, and put all three famous penguins in color-corresponding soccer jerseys (e.g. Rockhopper would wear red), and put a soccer ball on one side of them and the World Cup on the other.

Now, if anyone can draw this up, I would appreciate this a lot. I understand Sith Cub is a fan of editing our logo, and he does it very well. Feel free to add your ideas to the list, and remember to add a corresponding section as well!

And the last issue is how long it should up there. The World Cup is on till mid-July, so this time may be too long. I'm thinking the week before the Final it should be put up and should be removed a little after the end of the competition. -- Tigernose    Chat   •  Edits   19:29, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Tigernose's 1st idea (0)

 * Yes, I'm for it! --''' Teltu  Im gonna follow my dreams, however crazy they seem! 21:09, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Looks better here... btw im also a soccer fan, cmon Argentina! Who won against Nigeria last saturday!!--Ratonbat 21:22, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Tigernose's 2nd idea (4)

 * 1) Great idea! I'm also a soccer fan, and I think the second idea is more appealing, and shows more of what the World Cup really means. --Hal Homsar Solo |  Taisetsu ni Suru Yo  | I'll Cherish You  19:35, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Hal. -- Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose/profile|20px]]  Chat   •  Edits   19:47, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed with Hal. I am also a soccer fan, and if we show a World Cup logo, I could tell pepole via blog what soccer is if you dont live in America. Gary the Gaget Dude Wanna talk? •  Contribs19:51, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Suggestions & Discussion

 * I can't find the two penguins chasing a soccer ball anywhere in the catalog (unless I skimmed through it too fast). Maybe it was in a past catalog? -- Hat Pop  Bunny Ears Rule! 21:17, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hat Pop's 3rd idea

 * 1) I would rather keep our current logo, so that we do not confuse people. -- seahorseruler | Talk  (EditCount) Yoshi! 20:56, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Discussion & Suggestions
We always change it to the old logo for parties. People got used to it. A completely new design is a fresh change though, isn't it? -- Tigernose    Chat  •  Edits  20:58, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

^Actually, we usually use the current logo and change it up for parties; like for the Medieval Party or April Fools'. Rarely the old one, not since Christmas. -- Hat Pop  Bunny Ears Rule! 21:17, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

No change at all (1)

 * 1) I see no purpose why we need to change our logo for the World Cup when Club Penguin doesn't even have a party for the World Cup. Take the Olympics, for example... did we even change the logo for that? -- LordMaster96 Talk to me! 20:02, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Suggestions & Discussion

 * Club Penguin has its ties with football, LordMaster96. Plus, if it doesn't have a party, then we can have it up for a shorter time. -- Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose/profile|20px]]  Chat  •  <font face="Aharoni">Edits  20:07, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

 * I can help make all of the logos. It doesn't matter to me which one is chosen. :) -- Hat Pop <font face="papyrus" color="purple">Bunny Ears Rule! 19:37, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
