TotJO Logo Design

this is not important but it is. (he he)

the logo used in the banner is not right
Also is not right the one we are using in the web

here the right one (is white) so someone can fix the ecard banner with the right one.



a lil bigger

Not too sure about it being "not right". It's really just an alternate version of the star, which, where one version uses a circle to contrast itself, the alternate uses the inherit background to contrast itself. It's been an accepted version for the banner (the current one created by myself and chosen by ren) for quite a while, though eventually, with a new site design this might change. Both are valid though, at least to me, and I'm sure many other's here.

we can have as much alternatives as people exist....
when i ask 2 days ago, for the right logo, the one "legally right" the answer was "the one with the circle", and actually they point to the one in the banner to be wrong.

a logo is not only a trademark, is a sign, and i can make 100's of different stars... all different but all fit in the description.

my question now is.... who decide about this?

it doesn't matter for me, if they like to use it with a circle, without, with snow on top, or a horse under.... i like to know, what is right, what is wrong, and if is possible for everyone to create an interpretation "different", and even that one, is
legally right.

this is not the place, and i am nobody, but... for me it doesn't look right to use a different logo.
so now i can use any of this (MY INTERPRETATION as totjo logo) and it's ok?






maybe someone need to tell us, what is the right logo to use , and i agree, with circle, without, or any of this.

just because is a logo, a sign, an identification, we all need to use just one.

If I understand it correctly, the star bursts are the TotJO emblem. The black circle is just a field to put it on. Unlike in Heraldry where the field is important I believe this field is just a background. I’m sure someone can think of some relevance or significance it holds… but I’ll be darned if I can remember it.

I feel like I read somewhere that the logo was comprised of equal amounts of light and dark, and that was part of the symbology. I can't remember where I read it, whether the old main page or a forum thread somewhere, but I'm sure I got that notion from somewhere....

welll....
right now I have 2 members of the Council saying to me, the one WITH the circle to be the right one.
and another saying, the one without is valid too

http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/faq#TotJOSymbol

it say

1. The orthodox Jedi Code (5 star)
2. 16 basic teachings of the Jedi (inner 16 star)
3. The interdependence of Light and Dark- A Jediist is in harmony with the Force.


The TotJO symbol (above) is owned by TotJO. People are free to use it, but we ask that it is not used to misrepresent our organisation. If the symbol is used in some piece of work then we would appreciate the appropriate citation to be made.




so the one with the circle is owned by totjo, but.... the one without is part of it, so maybe i am wrong, but the right one, registered, is the one with the circle, the other is just PART of the logo.

if we remove the circle, can we remove also one pick of the star? or remove the inner star?, or the outside star?
they are all part.... so ....

I say this one time, i do understand art, i do understand interpretation, and in my opinion, the logo is the one WITH the circle, all the others are part of the inspirational art, fan art, or whatever you call it, but not the totjo logo.
like the one i've made in gold, looks nice, but can not be used as totjo main logo, because is not.

without the circle is a different logo, there is no delimitation, and i like it... i am not trying to push one or the other, i am looking for the right thing.

if totjo say use whatever you like... we are free to use....

but when totjo say, the above logo is owned, it shows a logo with a circle around ( not a square, not a star, not a hexagon, and that make me think, the circle is part of the logo ( other than the description)

in the website, it doesn't say we own all this logos, and show more than one.


I appreciate if someone can clarify this.
