Revision as of 11:28, October 16, 2010
As there has been significant feedback on the idea of a possible new logo, there is now an official proposal, initiated by Mako Shark and added to by Toomai.
| Proposal A | Proposal B | Proposal C |
|---|---|---|

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 SmashWikia. Feedback is still welcome here. Shark (talk) 01:18, 15 October 2010 (EDT) Toomai Glittershine

Votes for Proposal A
- --Vincent Tran
02:43, 15 October 2010 (EDT) - Support I find this logo to be more representative of the Smash series than the old logo. A cartoonish logo is more fitting for a Wiki about cartoonish games. Omega Tyrant
04:09, 15 October 2010 (EDT) - Massive support For reasons stated above. Mr. Anon (talk) 19:34, 15 October 2010 (EDT)
Votes for Proposal B
- I must say I find this wikipedia style logo quite enticing.-Ivy73
18:10, 15 October 2010 (EDT) - I gotta agree and it does look really Nintendo-y -Scoobford (talk) 19:03, 15 October 2010 (EDT)
Votes for Proposal C
- ..
Votes for Keeping Old Logo
- Now that you have this option, forget the cartoons.--MegaTron1XD
10:26, 15 October 2010 (EDT) - There's a difference between "cartoonish" and silly. The new logos, especially A, fall into the latter category. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 11:43, 15 October 2010 (EDT)
- Mostly because it's very distinctively SmashWiki, ya know? Second choice (assuming this is IRV) would be Proposal B. Miles (talk) 18:32, 15 October 2010 (EDT)
Neutral
- ..
Comments
- @OT: What makes you think Smash is a series of cartoony games? Miles (talk) 22:06, 15 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. Toomai Glittershine 22:21, 15 October 2010 (EDT)
- 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"? Mr. Anon (talk) 00:50, 16 October 2010 (EDT)
