And more general suggestion.

Lets make a new logo!

What's wrong with the current logo?

Narck, the current logo is fine, but I do see Builder's point in that it is a little dated... maybe a little change (when Mark and Dan have some extra time, of course) to a new logo wouldn't be a bad idea...

Actually, I agree with Builder.
IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offense guys, but are references to those old sites really needed?

Apolyton has been one of the most successful gaming sites on the net. Don't you think it can stand on it's own now

And another thing... Why "just" civilization site?
This site has grown to encompass far more than just Civilization... aren't you kind of limiting your horizons here

so you guys want a logo that only says:

instead of:

From the...
Apolyton Civilization Site

we dont need Mark&Dan to make the logo.

We can make a small logo contest.

People can make logos and let M&D choose, lets say, 10 of the best in their opinion.

And then make a vote on the 10.

It's acknowledging this site's heritage. I don't have a problem with it. In fact, I like it.

1. Our focus is on the Civilization series and its decendents. Our philosophy is quality of sections of games that we cover, not quantity.

2. We like the logo "as is" right now, but thanks for asking

Gee... they BOTH responded.
At least you got their attention Builder

But not to give up so easy... Isn't Apolyton a combination of the two names? Isn't it kind of repetitive?

I think the logo is ok as it is, there's nothing wrong with it. But couldn't it be made more... snazzy?

If you take away the two parents you are left with a two-year old infant. You can understand the infant's fear of being an orphan, can't you. Some determinined fostering is required and that make take some time.

Actually I don't seem to notice the two lines above the big and bold Apolyton. With the brassy blazoning of the UGO banner, this concern pales into insignificance.

I too like the logo the way it is now. It gives me a sense of familiarity and comfort, which is always nice to have...

But if it was to be changed, I propose also changing the name itself to Appleton - just to make it easier for Ming to pronounce...

We dont need to change what's written there.

We can keep the From... blah blah blah.

But just to make a new logo, something more prettier than just shaded text.

Keep it, it's simple and says just what it needs to say, IOW a good logo...

why?

	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I don't really know why... Whenever I see a "new" word in print, my mind just "gives" me the way to say it.
If it is a word I will be using in conversation, I will be corrected enough to make the "change" in my mind.
But Apolyton is a word that doesn't really come up in conversation. I only type it. So my mind just hasn't made the correction
I guess I'm just a little weird

Hmm.. sorry for being a little indiscrete there for a moment, but it is alright for Europeans to have a little fun with Americans' way of pronouncing foreign words! Always have been, always will be. I say let's keep it that way!

You can make fun of our accents in return.

It's tough to make fun of accents when conversations consist of typed messages

Exactly! Good man.

Okay, then you can make fun of my stupid username, which I'm seriously thinking of changing back to Winston anyway. But you'll have to hurry if you want to pull my leg, 'cause it may be gone in a matter of days.

What has this got to do with the logo anyway? I think I'm hallucinating... better stop now...
