Eternity Engine Has A New Logo

[John Smith]

Ok, MAYBE he's also mentioned news about the upcoming release and links to previous versions of EE, but as the title would suggest, Quasar has also showcased a new logo on the Eternity website. Did I also mention news of the upcoming release? Did someone say portals? So what are you waiting for? Go check out the EE website for all your Eternity news and goods!

oh wow, a new EE logo

slow news week?

[spank]

Week?

[exp(x)]

Reminds me of kde logos.

[myk]

Heh, the first thing I thought about when I saw the logo is "Internet Explorer".

[skadoomer]

I thought the same thing too. But if its the eternity engine, shouldn't it be ee?

[entryway]

wow! thank you for unexpected cool news. please, let us know, if any other engines will change own logos. immediately.

Jealousy noted.

A new logo may be trivial, but then, if people don't submit more juicy news, there's no reason to prioritize anything over small tidbits like this one.

I'm guessing the mechanic wheel represents the E in "engine".

Ultimate Torment and Torture?

• Boringly written submission
  
• Newstuff
  
• Rerelease compilation

But then, even if that had been accepted, it still would have just been one more submission, not necessarily eliminating this one (unlike when you have at least half a dozen really good ones to consider).

It's not like we're drowning in news here.

[Quasar]

• Logo not the only thing mentioned in news update.
  
• Logo was by Assmaster; I think that earns it at least a mention.
  
• People have been hounding us to get a logo for years.
  
• Yes you are right. The cog wheel around the e is for the Engine.
  

Thanks for your time :P

Any plans for resolutions higher than 1024x768?

[Quasar]

At this point I'm gonna say that might make it into the next release after the upcoming one. SoM wants to work on true color support soon, and I imagine extending the resolution range should go along with that.

[david_a]

Horray!

Make sure to remember us widescreen folk when you update the renderer too :)

[Manc]

That was sort of the point of the joke - if people actually read the news post and see it IS more than just about a new logo there wouldn't be need for the absolutely pointless bitching.

[LexiMax]

Looks sort of like a mix between the Enlightement and KDE logos.

Shut up.

Sorry if I post this, but Knee Deep in Eternity? There's no way it could be worse than Kuhdizd.

Don't bitch about this news thread, it's not like you have to sell it out.

[YMB]

This logo requires more impse.

I wasn't stupid, I only made some fun there. I don't know what KDE is, and I'm not highly interested what it is, but y'all can be generous and tell me directly what it is, completed with a hyperlink. It's more useful than telling me to lurk more, I have no plans or time to lurk now. I hardly ever play Doom or other PC game now. Maybe later I will.

EDIT: yeah big deal i can google maybe i will.
EDIT: good that I made some of you laugh.
EDIT: OK I saw it.

Just to get on topic and stay legal, I'm gonna comment the awesome superb global Eternity logo. If I were in charge, I'd make it look more traditional, containing the 'eternity' and 'engine' words. Something written with white plasma-like spot shape made of letters over a void background, with a red devil in the middle, still in the background, sitting on a rock, sucking the minds of [free non critical fun]zdoom[/free non critical fun] which Quasar prefers to write with small letters. Or use a font made up of distorted humans staying on letter shaped racks and an imp with a torch shaped up as another imp staying there and laying his hand on a racked corpse, which slowly burns up with smoke but no flame.

EDIT: Just another thing before I get flamed for serious reasons, I remembered just now that that logo was made by Amaster... OK, better keep it as it is.

[Quasar]

Please believe me when I say that the way I capitalize ZDoom (zdoom? ZDOOM? ZDooM?) is based only on ignorance and not on a desire to belittle it :P I've never really known what the official capitalization is ;)

[Kristian Ronge]

Well, the official site zdoom.org has the title "Latest ZDoom News" (and uses "ZDoom" consistently) so I guess ZDoom is the official spelling.

Nice, and a nice tribute to Jason. My first thought seeing it was that it looked like his style.

Your custom title will never be false. Ever.
