==Frisbee Logo==
I suggest the logo from the frisbees, especially if it's used at all sites (I only know [[Site:Lancaster|LAN]]).  Anyone have a scan or good copy of it?  Of course, that means it'd change every summer, but hey, that's no sweat.

I love love love the pie logo, but I agree with Marxi that the light blue doesn't work at all.  I'd also consider checking out some other font options.  What about trying to find a font that is similar to the one used on the lanyards? - Zoë
 +
 
 +
The lanyards idea is pretty awesome, and as for color either black or something really out there like flamboyant orange or neon green.  ~Yulia
 +
 
 +
I tried a neon green color, but someone called "Nixxi" said it clashed.  I feel like I knew a "Nixie" back in '05, but either I got the spelling wrong, or there are two.  And I thought the one I knew wasn't Asian.  Anyway.  Although the idea was just to find a lanyard font, if I can actually take a couple of lights and take a picture of a black lanyard on a white background, we could use that.  I do have both black lanyards. ~Max

 +
Dear Max,
 +
You're joking right? First you spelled my name wrong and second I AM Asian. There ARE no two Nixxi's. Neon green made the logo look like a vomit of colours and was NOT attractive at all. I LOVE neon green and would be the first one to advocate for it had it been in the appropriate scheme. ~Nixxi

Can someone make the pie look MORE like a pie. I keep thinking it's the american flag on a log. --Nixxi
 +
 
 +
Yeah...it sorta does.  The only thing is, if it looked too much like a pie, you wouldn't be able to have the whole American part attached to it as well; it can't really look like a pie and a flag.
 +
 
 +
Maybe the flag shouldn't cover the entire pie, just some of it?  And I'm all for CTY across it (it would be rather ambigous without it), but as it currently is it would be hard to place lettering across it that would be easily read (another benefit of having the flag across some of the pie and a more uniform color for the rest of the pie)--Ev

Bare-bones submission

Why not just

[[CTY]]?

It retains the wiki brackets, and frankly, I don't think there's a single image which could encapsulate CTY in any real way. You could certainly do something to pretty up the letters, but I have no graphical skills personally.

Suggested by F'n'M

I suggest the logo from the frisbees, especially if it's used at all sites (I only know LAN). Anyone have a scan or good copy of it? Of course, that means it'd change every summer, but hey, that's no sweat.

--P.S. 22:54, 18 Aug 2004 (CDT)

students from each site design their own frisbee each session, I'm not sure we'd be able to keep up with that, much less decide which site and session to use for the year.

American Pie?

I made a cool looking logo based on American Pie

Here it is logo sized and high rez

UPDATE: I made a new one, logo sized and High rez

Get's my vote! -Some Guy

How abouts putting "CTY" in the middle of ye olde pie? It's really awesome already, though. -Rachel

I like the Pie! Put CTY in the middle, and it will be absolutely perfect! -Jenny

One year (some time in the span 1995-2003, not that that's very helpful), there was a frisbee, somewhat similar to the proposed logo, that represented an American flag, a pie and the letters CTY in one design. Someone might try to find a copy of the design. -CTY Lancaster staff member

I really wish we had an admin so that we could put it up... - Max

AHH I love this! Some admin put it up!

Oh my God, I love it! And you, Jeff. -Papa T

Tis awesome if there's a CTY in the middle!! -Bri.

That is soooooo awesome!- Sven

I vote for CTY in the middle -Kai

I made a new one, same style, also a motto. New Logo -Will S

Logo Font/Color

We're pretty much decided on the logo; however, I'm toying with putting CTY win the center, and I want some consensus on what it should look like.

I could try light blue; that would work; how's this: (picture removed)

Circular Lettering
