VolityLogo

Volity has no logo. I'd like something spiffy to replace that chess-playing dude in the corner of this Wiki. (Which I found through a quick Google Images search last summer. "Playing chess in outer space; that's pretty cool." But still.)

The closest thing we have to a logo right now is the way the word "Volity" appears on the [homepage]. Zzzz...

(You can add graphics to this page (or any page of the Wiki) by simply pasting image URLs into the page-editing box.)

(Of course, the logo should be in SVG.)

Proposals

Ok, now that I've messed around with SVG for a while:

Here is the same thing rendered as a PNG, in case your browser doesn't do SVG:

Note that Firefox doesn't do filters, so the background will look flat in Firefox. Actually, it isn't rendering this image at all, but I don't know if that's because of the filters or because I borked the SVG syntax. It works under Adobe's SVG plugin and under Batik, and the SVG validator isn't complaining.

I like it! I wonder if the background bumpiness is a bit much, though, and I might make the lines of the "jmac.html" class=wikipagelink>jmac

I adjusted those parameters, and added a darker edge to the disk to improve visibility. I don't want the lines too bold when the image is large, though. Actually, the clever thing to do is have the line width adjust depending on the viewport size.... That takes scripting, and I'm not getting it to work right in all renderers. Oh well. zarf
