swhitmore 781 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 And another try at this I like this design, but not the font that the 'e' is using inside the box. Could you try a more modern typeface?
Koleckai Silvestri 1154 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Playing around a bit with the flames idea. The middle one is a bit close to a recent favorite dragon. https://www.google.com/search?q=toothless&safe=off&espv=2&biw=1608&bih=749&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ZK0YVam4AsrloASGu4LYAw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

Agree yeah it does look a bit close. Anyway don't think a mascot/face is the right direction, really was just playing around.
seanbuff 1315 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 or... Here i placed the emby logo on the Trakt.tv site to see how it holds up between our competitors. +1
aspdend 177 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Well, I thought I'd give it a go as well - trying to create a dynamic 'e' symbol. ignore the 'mby' text font etc - like I said before I am no graphic designer...just trying to visualise my concept
jedninjaro 39 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 tried to reinvision one of my earlier designs. Keeping it simple, yet stylish, and recognisible. Works as one and duo tone. don't know which i like the most? 3
ebr 16169 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 I've been away all weekend and just starting to catch up. Thanks all for the submissions so far. All I want to say right now is, for those of you making the association with "ember", we do not want to do that. There is a product called "ember media manager" that has been around for a long time. We don't want confusion with that. I have not discussed this yet with the other core devs but I'm thinking April 15 as a submission deadline. Thanks again. 2
Bobba86 34 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 How about the theme being something related to the name. emby = Em Bee the logo/icon could create an mascot of kind (similar to the Twitter Bird). Emby the BEE just a thought ! would love to have a blast at creating this, but I think compared to what I've already seen It'd be an embarrassment.
hedgehogg 104 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Oh C'mon Bobba perhaps One will be more naff than mine
GR00F 2 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I quite like this one. Nice and simple but still quite eye catching. Thought I'd see what it's like as a gif as well just to see what can be done with it. It'd look a lot better if it was a smoother transition. What do you guys think? Maybe someone with skills could make something better of it?
GR00F 2 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Just changed the gif a little or slightly slower I know your probably tired of this, but I just moved everything in a bit and I think it makes it a bit better. Sorry for all the images but I really like this one. these two. Edited March 30, 2015 by GR00F
Angelblue05 4132 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Here we go! My first official submission. Simple, yet dynamic design that's readable at a small scale. I wanted to portray how Emby turns every device into a Player for my media content. The color and font are optional. Hope you like it! Edited March 31, 2015 by Angelblue05 15

speechles 2055 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Here's my go at it. I was figure the letters "mb" should stand out from the others as a throwback to its earlier beginnings. It should also try to sylize as much as possible the "e" and "y" into the background and make the "mb" pop. Can be used with the stylized "emby" lettering, or not. This was just a quick throw together using my tablet. The colors, fonts, etc could use work, but this is where I wound up.

swhitmore 781 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 There is something about where the 2 colours meet that is a little off. Seems worse on the grey version. Looking good though. I personally prefer the green. 1

I personally prefer the green.It's just the really low quality of the image. The logo is already vectorized with flat colors. If you can circle it, i'll check it out to make sure Edited March 30, 2015 by Angelblue05
cshaun 31 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Maybe someone with skills could make something better of it? Tried following your concept a bit, but not really panning out for me. Edited March 31, 2015 by cshaun
FredipusRex 12 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 So, I'm away from my computer, so this was just finger painted on my iPad. I like some of the "plain" geometric shapes, but I also have a soft spot for semi-anthropomorphic mascot-y things like the old XBMC logo. Keeping away from the Ember theme as the ember media manager folks wouldn't be too thrilled, I tried to think of something that denoted sharing media and watching it. This was the first one I didn't hate.
KarterJK 35 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Here's the new version Here are full size pics and one with transparent background These last few are getting very busy and overly complicated. IMO simple fonts and simple geometric shapes are vastly superior, they look better and scale to different sizes more easily. But...I do kind of like these, they are pleasing to the eye. perhaps a bit more spacing, would have helped. 1
