Forum:Would like to submit a proposed Orain logo footer button

Forums: Index → General discussion

---

Here's a proposed button to go along the bottom of all wikis using the Orain wiki farm.


It is based on the Powered By MediaWiki icon and the Orain logo. As it is partially based on a graphic copyrighted to Orain, I hereby release all rights to this file to the Orain staff to do with as they see fit.

Since there is no easy way to determine what wikis are on the Orain service unless someone checks Special:SpecialPages on Orain centered wikis, I propose this icon or something similar be added to the wiki footer with a link back to Orain Meta for easier identification of all wikis connected to the Orain service.

Sorry, but that I don't think that logo is ready to be put on a wiki farm. It needs to be retouched. --Jeff ^(talk) _(contribs) MyWikis Staff 14:05, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. We're very grateful for the effort, but it will have to be retouched a bit. Kudu (talk) 14:30, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

I figured as much. I'm not a very skilled artist, but I would be willing to work on this further unless someone else would be willing to work on this. Either way, thanks for the responses. Arcane (talk) 17:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Arcane

Sorry Arcane, but it's still pixelated. I would recommend you try again and get yourself used to gradients on Paint.NET. I agree with Kudu, your efforts are much appreciated nonetheless. --Jeff ^(talk) _(contribs) 19:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

This is a very good idea, and I would also have an Orain little banner in the footer of our wiki. We get so much from Orain.org and this is a simple way to contribute to the project. About the design, why not following the same structure as File:Powered by MediaWiki.svg, just changing the logo and the text: "Hosted by Orain.org". Easy for me to say though, I'm no svg/graphics wizard.--QuimGil (talk) 17:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

While you're at it, maybe a favicon for Meta-Orain would be nice too? And it could be used as a default favicon for all new wikis in the farm, until the individual wiki owner provides a replacement. Just a thought. AugurNZ ✐⌕ 22:23, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
