I am extremely disappointed that the logo with all the MAIN characters took out Tidus and Vaan for Yuna and Balthier. It's annoying and shows how immature this wiki is because a wiki is supposed to provide facts and not be biased. Yuna and Balthier aren't the main characters whether you like to admit it or not. I hope that whoever's in charge change it because this is sad.

Methinks you're reading too much into it. It's filled with the most recognizable characters from every game, not necessarily the main ones. Small space means you need to cram as much recognition into it as possible. FF1 didn't have a main character, nor did FF3. FF6's story was decentralized and no main character was intended, word of God.
On the other hand, some characters are just easier to tell than others. Balthier is more recognizable to non-fans than Vaan is because he went memetic for a while. Yuna has a strong, simple design that just translates better than Tidus' due to the color contrasts.
Believe me, we here are not unfamiliar with these kinds of arguments cropping up. I didn't make the logo myself, or put it up, but the staff are more mature than to intentionally aggravate those kinds of arguments.

Oh, well that was a simple explanation. Thanks.
What happened to the happy Chocobo? Are we stupid now? --BlueHighwind 04:03, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
Doesn't fit to Oasis dimensions. I tried to implement it using CSS, didn't work.
Basically, the space for the logo is roughly 20px high. You can insert a taller image, but for every px higher, an extra pixel is added to the article headers... because it's taking up room that doesn't exist.
Oh, and if it means anything I don't like the idea of using characters from individual games... I mean, we're missing Light now, and XI and XIV can't be represented. Furthermore, we lead to main character debate for VI and XII... and I don't know why Yuna should be on there at all. Lead of X-2 is irrelevant because it's a spin-off game (it would be like having Zack for VII's).
In reality, we should use Dissidia as our source for deciding the "face characters" of the game.
But I want Chocobo back in some form. Or Moogle. But preferably Chocobo. 80.42.244.255 16:36, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
If I can ever get my initial computer up and running again I'll throw up some concepts for a new logo. Any suggestions, aside from a chocobo. Do we like the font? Netherith 04:05, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/117/ffwikilogo.png I made a Griever logo. Can you tell I didn't know where to stick the "wiki" bit, haha. The actual logo shouldn't be centred on a single game though, that's why Chocobo is good. I'm a big fan of black and white myself, but probably in the minority.Keltainentoukokuu 04:31, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, it's close to the standard Final Fantasy game logos!!! If you stick a Chocobo in it, we'll have the ideal logo. BLUER一番 04:35, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
That's a good idea. "Final Fantasy Wiki" with the usual FF typeface in front of a faux-Amano chocobo would be very impressive! BlueGoobbue 06:24, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

I kind of like Kelt's concept. Maybe we should have a poll of some sort about this? --ShirubaKurono Dissicon ff13 Lig3 11:11, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't use the Griever one anyway because I didn't draw the Griever myself. I think all of Netherith's logos are good, very professional. I like the one with the pink Amano work.Keltainentoukokuu 17:28, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

I'm against using 1 (for lack of an image), 2 (for having a background (even if it had a fadeout, I disagree), and 4 -- because it's pink and I don't know what it is. 80.42.251.84 19:12, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Four is Amano's depiction of a Chocobo -- for once, we should all be glad his artwork wasn't the real one. Jimcloud Cloud Chocobo 20:18, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

BTW, if anyone else wants to have a crack at it, I'm guessing the closest to the normal FF Font that should be on every computer is Bodoni MT Poster Compressed. Example: F I N A L   F A N T A S Y Bluestarultor Best-of Stellar Arena sigicon BSA 20:15, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Here's a possible logo inspired by and derived from Netherith's first concept above:
FFWiki-Logo-Chocobo
Also, for fun, I created two transparent versions of Netherith's concept with a few minor modifications. Flexible images like this are nice to have on hand for templates, links to here from other wikis, stationery, etc.

I vote for BlueGoobbue's chocobo logo. Netherith 07:52, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
Seconded. BLUER一番 01:18, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

The real solution here is to switch to MONOBOOK! MONOBOOK! MONOBOOK! --BlueHighwind 03:52, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

That's not a solution, that's avoiding the problem because we change the default skin for logged-out users from Oasis. Since they're who the wiki is for (although most editors forget that) we need to sort things out for them. 80.42.245.103 17:02, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

We're inching closer to Xmas tho, so an icon in holiday spirit would be quite appropriate. We already have a candidate for the Monobook Xmas logo, anybody up for the Wikia New Look one? BLUER一番 01:18, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

I like the Christmas Monobook logo, and I like BlueGoobbue's logo, it's great. --ShirubaKurono Dissicon ff13 Lig3 01:48, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9844/christmaslogo.png Well here's something with the most obvious chocobo christmas pic. I'm sure someone else could do a much better one though.Keltainentoukokuu 03:12, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

I like it. Jimcloud Cloud Chocobo 03:14, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
Seconded. Seems like a good time to put them up, what do you think? BLUER一番 11:14, December 14, 2010 (UTC) Well it made it and its a GREAT logo lol santa choccobo magine if it was a secret character in choccobo racing lol! Shasha ChronoKai-FinalBattleArena

Post-Holiday Discussion[]

Now that the holiday season is a distant memory, let us resume the logo discussion! We have not yet adopted a new logo for the default Wikia skin. It is an easy detail to overlook but it does affect countless anonymous visitors to the site. Are there any other occasions for which a special logo is desired? If so, it would be nice to develop them well in advance. BlueGoobbue 20:08, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

I still see the Christmas version up even if Christmas is long gone. If you like that logo, I tried to make one without the Christmas attire. http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/9310/logovgo.png The head isn't quite right though is it...Keltainentoukokuu 21:02, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

I like BlueGoobbue's Chocobo logo from above. The way the chocobo's done makes it actually look like an FF logo. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 23:14, January 28, 2011 (UTC)
