Here are my entries. Pen to paper, It's a simple, dynamic logo made up of the two letters F -- Paper and part of the pencil, A -- Pencil tip. It's a wink to FanArt. The difference between the two entries is the line thickness of the F, to make it more apparent.

First entry: Thinner lines



Second entry: Thicker lines for the F



My official third entry: A very symmetrical, yet simple design with a darker tone. It is composed of the two letters F (left) and A (right). Hope you enjoy!

Edit: Final design, just need to figure out how to make it into a vector now.

A couple of variants included just to give an idea of how it would look in different situations. Is it ok to include text on the header but not on the banner view, or would they have to be separate entries?

The logo started out as a diamond shape (#2) , but when I rotated it, it looked like a keyboard key and I thought that was kinda neat. (#1) Then I started some M.C. Escher'esque designs just for fun. (#3-5)

Proposal for new fanart.tv identity - "Quill"

The quill device, evolving from "F" and "A" shapes represents a community of creative contributors, it signifies:

• Hand-crafted care
• Organised elegance
• Authority and high standards
