Editing SmashWiki:New Logo Proposal 2

<div class="boilerplate metadata" style="background-color: #F3F9FF;  margin: 3em 0 0 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; border: 1px solid #AAA;">
:''The following discussion is an archived debate of the nomination of a user for adminship. <span style="color: red;">'''Please do not modify it.'''</span> No further edits should be made to this page.''

'''''Proposal D is chosen''': Proposal D has majority in three statistical categories.

As there has been [[User talk:Mako Shark/New logo|significant]] [[User talk:Toomai/New logo|feedback]] on the idea of a possible new logo, there is now an official proposal, initiated by Mako Shark and added to by Toomai.

{|class="wikitable" align="center" style="text-align:center"

!Proposal A!!Proposal B!!Proposal C!!Proposal D!!Current Logo

|}

Users may vote on which logo they prefer. This is not strictly a majority-wins vote; if it is too close to call there may be a revote between the winners.

Note that this does not affect the old [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page SmashWikia]. Feedback is still welcome here.

#:Seeing how other people have mentioned their dislike for other proposed logos and their reasons for doing so, I'll mention mine. Logo B's Wikipedia likeness is a major turnoff for me as it lacks originality and can be considered more or less a rip off. I noticed how one user mentioned how this logo looks "Nintendo-y", I would like to remind that this is not a Nintendo Wiki and the logo should be representative of the Smash Bros. series, not of Nintendo. While we do base a lot of our policies and such on what Wikipedia has, do we really need to base our logo off theirs? As for Logo C, it lacks creativity and is just rather plain. This logo is also just based on the Smash Ball design from Brawl, therefore it doesn't represent the original Smash Bros. or Melee well. A logo should be representative of the entire Smash series, not just Brawl. These two logos also don't have Master Hand, an iconic character that originates from the Smash series and could be considered the mascot of the series. As for the current logo, I have no qualms with it, but I prefer A to it. But should A not gain enough support, I would prefer to see the logo stay, and I especially don't want to see logo B become our logo. We're not affiliated with Wikipedia and our logo should not be a ripoff of theirs. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[File: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 02:27, 19 October 2010 (EDT)

**I agree with this sentiment; while Smash Bros. certainly has cartoony physics and has cartoony stuff in it, it also has enough realistic content to the point where blanket-calling it "cartoony" isn't accurate. The Subspace Emissary in particular juxaposes cartoony enemies with realistic textures and environments.

***The reason why the Smash series is often labled as cartoony is because when compared to most fighting games, such as Mortal Combat, it is indeed cartoony. For example, when one character hit's another, a weird flash happens, rather then a blood splatter or anything else. Correct me if I'm wrong, but also, doesn't the ESRB rating label it for "Cartoon Violence" and "Comic Mischief"? [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 00:50, 16 October 2010 (EDT)

*@Miles: Well Miles, if you shoot a rocket launcher at point blank range, will you be completely unharmed? If you hit someone with an double handed, overhand sword swing at full strength, is it going to send the opponent flying up and away? When you hit someone, does comic like flashes appear? Since the beginning, the Smash series has been cartoony and while it has become less so which each installment, it still certainly is. Also, you have to consider that a large amount of the Smash characters are from cartoony games themselves (Mario, Kirby, etc.). But is there anything wrong with it? Absolutely not, but it is rather foolish to pretend the Smash series isn't. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[File: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 06:14, 16 October 2010 (EDT)

***That doesn't refute what I said, and I can give more examples. When you hit someone high into the sky, are they going to turn into a star or hit a screen? When you punch someone, will comic like flashes appear? Are you going to tell me that getting turned into "trophies" when defeated is realistic? The whole physics of Smash Bros. is cartoonish and not realistic at all. Now, I don't see why you have such a problem with me saying this as it doesn't degrade the series in any way and arguing with me on this does you or this logo proposal any good. The unrealistic, cartoonish things of Smash Bros. are part of what makes the series so great in my opinion. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[File: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 12:40, 16 October 2010 (EDT)
****The physics of the Smash Bros. universe are cartoony, but the average overall asthetic is not (even the Mario crew get realistic textures), and that clashes with the very-cartoony asthetic of Proposal A.

******Relax, OT; this is civilized debate we're going for here.  My point was more that describing Smash as cartoony didn't seem to really work for me as Brawl went to great lengths to be less cartoony than every game it drew content from (heck, they even tried to make Toon Link less cel-shaded-looking.)

*******Less cartoonish =/= not cartoonish. As I said before, each installment was less cartoonish than the previous, but it is still a cartoonish series. I'll also remind you Brawl isn't the only game in the series and people do still play the original and Melee. Your statement about Brawl going to great lengths to be less cartoonish for every game it drew content from is false, I'm certain Snake is closer to cartoonish in Brawl than he is in Metal Gear. Another thing I would like to add is that the logo should be representative for the whole series, not just Brawl. All in all though, I don't see the point of you and Toomai arguing this with me, I'm not changing my opinion and this argument seems unnecessary to me. You shouldn't be telling me to relax when I'm not angry or anything, though I did get a little annoyed when Toomai made it sound like I made a complaint at you guys for not supporting logo A, which I did not said anything to you guys for not supporting it, even when CHawk insulted it. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[File: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 14:46, 16 October 2010 (EDT)

::::There are enough differences that it would not be just a rehash, but an upgrade. The pose, the font, and the "feel" are different from the current logo while retaining everything that it has. It'd be like the difference between Yoshi's SSBM and SSBB models - it's obviously the same guy, but updated to match the times, and it's not easy to confuse the two. My previous point was to say that the style is pretty much the only thing that makes me not like it; while it does mesh with some things in the series, it's disjoint with the majority of the visuals (and being an image, matching the visuals is kind of a big deal).

I'll also stand by my statement that a logo should be representative of '''all the games''' in the Smash series, not just Brawl. It doesn't matter if Brawl is the most recent game, the others exist, we document information on them, and therefore should matter to the Wiki and be represented by the logo. I also heavily disagree with the statement of Brawl being the "primary game".

*To be honest, my original intention when making a new logo was actually to take the old one and make it look cooler, except I got lazy and it ended up going in a different direction and the result is cartoonish. If people are actually keen, I can make a version with the new graphic but with the same colours, textures and shading style as the original.

Futhermore, near the top, you can see the ''Smash Bros.'' logo, representative of the entire series. Furtherurthermore (or something), the entire globe has a faint ''Smash Bros.'' logo drawn on it. The only reason there are so many Nintendo symbols on it is because there are so many Nintendo franchises in the series, this being a Nintendo series.

yeah but thats not really voting...the purpose of voting is to give people options and whichever option is given the most support(# of votes)is the undisputable winner,no arguments,if what you say is true then this really isnt a topic for voting at all,its a debate,people give their reasons why they support one thing over another then a small group ultimately decides the outcome,its pretentous to call it a vote,since voting alone wouldnt have a purpose,youd have to give your reasons for being for or against what youre voting for,and if thats the case then id have to change my vote around,since i basically just voted based on which logo i liked the most not the one i think would be the best representative of the wiki[[User:Gig|Gig]] ([[User talk:Gig|talk]]) 05:52, 25 October 2010 (EDT)
:As you'll learn on Wikis, hardly anything are actual strict vote counts. However, unlike RfAs and such which definitely aren't, this logo proposal can be considered more or less a vote count. You're also not entirely correct about when voting occurs, the one with the most votes always automatically wins. There is such a thing called too close to call, where recounts and other things occur if the lead vote getter only lead by one or so votes. There are also votes where for something to succeed, it has to gain a certain majority, such as when bills are passed. In such votes, even if something did get more supportive votes than not, if it did not reach the required majority (such as 67%), it does not succeed. As for the debating, you or anyone else does not have to take part in it. You can simply leave your vote and never come back to the logo proposal, without posting one word in any debate that occurs. However, you are in your full right to defend the logo you like when challenged by someone else (as was the case with me). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[File: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 06:17, 25 October 2010 (EDT)

::Uh Toomai, I don't see how D's lead would decrease if Mako Shark was to withdraw A, especially if all of A voters voted for D. As of now, D has 46.9% of the votes, with the second place B having a 21.87%, with D having more than twice the amount of B. If Mako Shark withdrew A, and none of the voters revoted, D would have 53.6% of the vote while B would have 25%. With the withdrawal of A, D's lead increases. Now if all of A's voters voted for D, D would have 67.9%, three times as much votes that B has, and would certainly be a large enough majority to call the proposal in D's win. So I really don't see how D's lead would decrease with the withdrawal of A :/ As such, I would like an explanation (and I don't see why we would use something other than vote count to decide the winner with the large amount of votes this proposal had).

::Seeing how we're going to statistics now, this is the voting percentage for others to reference (rounded to the tenth) each logo has out of 32 votes.
::D has 15 votes, for 46.9%
::B has 7 votes, for 21.9%
::A has 4 votes, for 12.5%
::Current has 4 votes, for 12.5%
::C has 2 vote, for 6.3%

::So if we're judging by sheer voting percentage (as I'm assuming), D has a large enough majority to be given the victory without any unnecessary recounts. While I'm not saying to call it now, if Mako Shark wants to withdraw her logo, I think it would aid the picking of a new logo, not hinder it as you proposed (though as you mentioned, it would be rather unfair as to A's voters as they would have to revote). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[File: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 07:37, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
