new Banner?

[satay]

Namaste,

I have been thinking of changing the banner of HDF i.e. the picture you see at the top of the site. However, I am not very artistic and don't know how to make a nice logo. If you want to share with me your ideas, please post the pics here.

I really like Sahas' signature logo but that's his signature logo... so something similar would be cool.

any ideas?

If I were re-doing the banner I'd think of a few things:

• Is there a design that graphically depicts the essence of HDF? Can it be captured ?
• Keeping it simple - easy to view, not busy
• Elegant but not formal - keeping the dignity of HDF
• Sanātana dharma centric

Now perhaps we can find the components, then assemble the artwork into a banner/graphic. Perhaps this a possible approach?

As I gather, we have quite a few members here who have artistic mindset. They can definitely help create a good design within the parameters suggested by Yajvan.

If you are looking to include caption to go with the logo, may be you might want to consider, satyam-eva jayate सत्यमेव जयते) (Sanskrit: "Truth Alone Triumphs" or asato ma sadgamaya-----or in keeping with the dignity of HDF Let us hear and speak that which is auspicious Om bhadram karne-bhih srunuyama devah -----

... satyam-eva jayate सत्यमेव जयते) (Sanskrit: "Truth Alone Triumphs" ...

That's a nice quote. Maybe other colors, and a background and different fonts. Just an idea.

Satay, I'm not too shabby with graphic design, I can try something out.

It seems you want something more traditional, my style however would tend more towards a collage of photos and/or paintings and quote and title with an ethereal feel, most probably still using still blue and orange as the pallete.

namaste,
I was thinking it to be a strip of pictures of god(s) with an OM in the center or 'agni' in the center. I also want to incoroprate flag of india or a saffron flag of hinduism in the logo but not sure exactly how this will all look.

Did I say I am not artistic. Right part of my brain is almost dead.

Namaste Satey,
take your time and mull over it for a few weeks and if possible post the logos here and let everyone see and take their opinions as well. Putting a flag of one nation in my opinion is restrictive and even offensive to some, myself Iam a naturalized american citizen. Religion crosses all barriers. More importantly this is the future faith of all lands, and i am not kidding.
