Something neutral like "Welcome" should work well. Maybe even in different languages. On the other hand, it may be better to keep it empty. I'll leave it up to you to decide.


Ok, then the xcf file is attached.

As I said, I suck at the imagination part, so I added a basic text with a basic effect. Btw, text in logo may mean another translation part of the forum, which is not as straightforward as the other parts. Buttons were a pain for me when I first tried to translate them. Yes, CSS buttons is a very good idea, and definitely should be implemented as soon as possible. I can take a look at the practical ways of making css buttons, but in the end you're the guys who know how to integrate them best into the forum code.

Anyways, you can just shut off the text parts in the logo, and it becomes empty.

I added the texts in en, de, fr, it and tr languages, but the all languages can be added using a small procedure described below. For the different charsets, different fonts may have to be used, though.

The procedure for adding new texts:

- Select the text_path in paths (3rd from the left at top of layers, channels, paths windows)
- Just add the text in gimp as usual, don't use hinting, use antialiasing.
- In the toolbox, where the tools for the text tool is open, click "Text along path"
- You can try and adjust the font size, indentation, letter space etc. until it follows the path correctly. It will create a NEW path named as the text you entered in the paths window.
- You can delete the text layer now, or just make it hidden.
- Create a new layer named langcode_finaltext, and make sure it's selected.
- Go to the newly created path, right click it and click "Path to selection"
- You can now shut off the visibility of all paths.
- Back to the new layer you created, you should now see a selection, outlined by your text.
- In the toolbox, select the "Bucket fill" tool, select black as foreground color, and select "Fill whole selection" as "area effected"
- Click in the selection to fill the selection.
- Click from menus, Filters -> Light and Shadow, Drop Shadow.
- You can use Offset X: 3, Offset Y: 3, Blur Radius: 6, Opacity, 85% to make the shadow.

Easy done than told Smile

This is nearly the best I can do at graphics Smile Hope you find it useful.
