Default [SOLVED] impossible planet needs YOU


OK. The reason my site has, for the want of a better word, been dead, is that I can't for the life of me think of an idea for a nice, standout logo for the site. So here we go. I'd like a simple, 2 dimensional logo design with a cool little font to sit on the top where the hyperion business is at the moment, as well as a decent design that'll compliment the black and white forum skins.

I original conceived a kind of design that was similar to the current sci fi channel logo with some kind of twist, but that seemed unoriginal somehow.

The name of the site is (obviously) impossible planet, and must be created in a way that's nicely scalable for email signatures forum ranks etc.

As for a prize up for grabs, I'll think of something. I think I have a graphics card I never opened around here somewhere, I'll throw some tech up for grabs or something.

So is the 'Hyperion' logo at the top something else? Do you have a particular symbol in mind that you want to use to represent your site?

The hyperion logo is part of the existing template, and no particular symbol in mind - I've gone from the idea of something in the line of the sci fi channel logo, to something involving a planet...Part of the problem is I have no ideas.

something that's easily scalable and will fit along the top nicely

Hmm. Your site name confused me. At first I thought it was 'Welcome To The FrontPage', but you fixed it. I did something really simple since your site seems really steam-lined. There's a black version too that will go on white backgrounds.

Meh. It's not sleek like before, but I added in a star/burning planet and a moon.
