hi guys + logo ?!?

konnichiwhats up everymimi... its my first day on earth and i was just born :heart:

wanted to try making a forum topic just to see how that works (see above, it is my first day ever)! i think this forum will be use for anything nyanful, nekoful, sugarful, or friendful. so you can make post too ^______^ wouldn't it be funny? to make post? he he he!

i plan to make lotsuh forum and bulletin post, but mostly forumz until if/when this forum has more members who will even see bulletins in real time. i can see myself using the forums to make updates about episodes, and book publishing deals, and other updates. it might help keep me accountable if i have somewhere to go "kyaaaaa!" about these subjects, screaming loudly, aside from the stairwell into the basement ofcourse.

enniewei, i started working on css for the group, but it's not much right now... and most of the links are set to be white colored, so you can't see them unless you hover... but i'm GONNA FIX IT. eventually. i fink my biggest problem with making css for group is... well. superlove sugarbuds, well, it doesnt, have, any brand identity. and i learned plenty about that in cool leg. Despite Having Very Little To Show For IT.

i took dis screenshart to prove i am real. i am real. i am real. and yea, i used my deviantart css as a base..... but u cant blame me, i spent gud time ORGANIZING IT!!! so there was very little to do b-sides figure out what all the group-exclusive classes were and play around wiff dem.

it's a kawaii layout-chan right now, mmm yes, much potential... but you can do better. i believed in you. i really did. prove to me, that you can do better...

...OKAY!!! well, even if superlovesugarbuds doesnt have any "brand identity" (yet) i can still dream, and pants my way into something good. which is mostly why i am presenting to you, mr. man. are we on a last name basis? i donno. anyway, as you certainly knoe, i made a """""nyan~ neko sugarBUD girls""""" logo, many-a-time ago. idk how long, but i think they were still in the picture when i showed it off. yea, that sounds right, cuz i made it the premiere image for my publishing forum. so it's maybe, 2 years old now? anyway, roll clip..... i guesss......

likeeeee, awwweeee. it's cute. very warm and bright, good stuff, good colors, some ideas. but WHAT are we seeing here? that's right, my nyan nekos. it's not FUCKING ORIGINAL ENOUGH. which, uhm, well, i know our whole 'thing' for the first 3 years was that we were a fanime of a fanime, but we're all grown now. we know this has gone too far to hide under the shadow of our forsaken founder any longer. we gotta be our OWN DIRECTORS! ...jeez, why the cold faces?

anyway, when watashe realised she wanted to make the css for the group, one thing was very, very clear. a strong logo was NEEDED!!! to provide the foundation to build our own thing, in this world we don't belong to. well, with that attidued, we'd never belong. so always remember, you belong here. so i made a new logo ideas, based on the old one. i made them in ms paint (as one does) with my mouse (ass one does) and i purposely didn't spend too much brainpower thinking about it (as one doesn't), but i think they're solid enough concepts to work off in our nouveau experimental era.

also, i made a japanese version of this first logo, but it not ver gud. and also, i forgot き at the end of dai-su-ki. which is quite the embarrass. gomen. (triple backflips into a deep, floor-level bow) um,m, also i dont know if ”さとうもだち” is the cool play on words i think it is. like, "sugar buds" is a play on my username and how "bud" is a way to refer to a tomodachi in eigo, but idk if satou-modachi is a good riff off that idea but in nihongo. regrettably sugarbud-chan only studied japanese up to basic intermediate level T_T, and is too scared to fail to foster real bonds with japanese friends... anyway

i knew i wanted to keep the circle-rectangle combination the original kawaii logo-chan had, + the star motif, since you all know the stars are one of the penultimate themes superlove sugarbuds is building up to. but i wanted to see whut it'd look like with a pink-purple heavy color palette, because i will confess. i am a sucker for analagous colors kissing making out hot hot sloppy slobbery 0///3///0

but, as was pointed out. it's just not as strong. pink, yellow, blue are the pansexual pride flag colors for a reason just as much as pink, purple, blue are the bisexual ones for a reason. if we were gunna do 3 flagstone colors, it wasn't gonna involve purpur. but, but, my favoritr, color.... uwhuhuhuu... there, there, it's okay, but stop crying. nobody else cries, you know. you're weird.

snf... okay... so instead, i brought back in more of the original colors... And by that i mean i just added the blue back and colored the outlines to be shades of the main block colors or whatever

oh yea i also added more stars because ???????? woke??????? i mean, yeah, there's not just ONE star of the series. there's two. even if you don't want to count one of them for religious or nonreligious reasons. if it shines like a star and it slaughters like a star, ITS BROBABLEE AN STAR.

and clearly, this is fucking clearly, the supeeriore version if its a battle of wits between this and the last one(s). but of course, it still kinda feels like its missing something i guess? llike? idk. its kind of rough around the edges in general, but that was the idea. this isn't the final. i regrettably still have access to a vector-based illustration app that i should really just find a different way to have access to, but that's not here or there. and what i mean to say is that i will infact use something a little more professional to create a vector logo of this when i'm ready 2.

all that to say i changed the SuperLove! text color from purple to the original pink, even tho i wuv perperl, because something about the old "nnsbg" logo still called my name. i can't believe it knows my name — my real name. not the one she gave me. even i couldn't remember it. how did it know? hey, no seriously, how you know my nam e

also i tried making purple happen again, with just the outline. it's kind of cute, maybe something to consider when doing up the final, but maybe i should just let go of purple. it hurts, it hurts, i don't want to let her go, but she wasn't all that nice to me in our last moments together. but i wasn't nice either. you just usually end up the victim of your own story. for me, its 50/50.

anyway, tomo-chans, i guess the whole point in showing this off was to prove that i did something. you know how it is with me and doing things. ive wisened up in my life, the life in which all i can say about myself is that i'm such a faker. i really, really don't mean to be, but look at me. look at my clipped wings and tell me its not my fault i could never fly to the heights everyone could see me desperate to reach.

also i need feedback

is there any concept that resonates with you the most? what do you like and dislike? anything i can consider for the final logo? i'm gonna make a few versions of the final logo, but the primary one will be the logo seen above. i do know i gotta make some wordmark versions tho, for thingz like where the spacehey logo needsta be and for moments where you need a simple stamp to add to things. yknow, business business

for now, i'm using as the reference upon which im building the group css (the second to last in the above presentation), and the logo will continue to inform the design choices made for the css. baby steps everymimi. deep breaths. at least once it exists, it'll be easy to edit based on changes seen in the final logo.

and, ahhhhh, i probably could say a lot more legitimate insightful things about the logo design and the choices i made for it, but, ahhhhh, i dunnooooo.... hehehehe....... what are you, a potential employer? please say you arent

and we can save that jobjob jabber for like, a cooler forum post where i show off the FINAL!!! REAL!!! CSS AND LOGO!!!

that's all from me. oyasumi, mimi-chans, sleep well and answer my freaking question or i'm gonna

accept it. it's okay. i forgive you. cream of mushroom
