SELEM 2025 log ideas (SELEM 18)

[buffo]

So this is SELEM 18, that means we're officially adults now, right?

Does anyone have any logo suggestions for this year?

Love it! Can projectors do that thick of a font?

Great designs so far!

Shadow, I like the last one you posted the best.

Chris, I really like the font you used for your design - I don't think I've ever seen that one before.

Can projectors do that thick of a font?

Not really, no. Well, maybe if you had a projector that had the Pangolin Beam-Brush technology installed, but otherwise you'd have to scan that font as an outline; there's just no way to fill in the center.

In fairness though, we rarely end up actually scanning the SELEM logo. We have done it a few times in the past, but most of the time you only ever see the logo on the shirts, the name badges, and the acrylic discs that Chris (Lazerjock) makes with his laser etching machine. So having a solid filled area in the logo isn't really a problem. (One of my favorite logos is from SELEM 10, and it has two filled areas of color.)

A long time ago, John (PolishedBall) had some custom hand towels printed up with the logo, and I think he was also the one who had some custom drink coasters made with the logo one year. And of course, Rodney (Rodman1369) was one of the first to have the logo silkscreened onto a T-Shirt (long before we started offering embroidered T-shirts). But I've only ever seen the logo converted to an ILDA file a couple of times, and it's been a while ago at that...

I took a look at the Homestead Suites (where I stayed last year)... Found incredulous rates...Sooooo looking for better suggestions...or maybe where to Avoid? Too many reviews with Roaches for my druthers...
I was kinda hoping to find a roommate...but Mainly need to find a place to refresh for the next day.

I heard good things from the people who stayed at the Elk Forge Bed and Breakfast Inn a few years ago, so that might be an option to look into, especially if you can get one of the larger suite rooms and split the cost with someone else.

The Baymont (by Wyndham) that is near the college might be another place to check, as it is fairly close to the venue, although I don't know if anyone from our group has stayed there before.

And the white shall be black and the black shall be white on a shirt.

Any Complaints, See the Book of Armaments, Chapter 20 Verse 123, Hand Grenade, Holy......

II was in the usual hurry, so credit to Dr. Merrill Lessley on the Epicycloids.

And the white shall be black and the black shall be white on a shirt.

"Then must thou count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three." Right?

Very cool designs, Steve!

The holy hand grenade of Antioch!

After some changes to make it easier to embroider the logo on a shirt, and a little splash of color, I'm happy to announce this year's SELEM logo, which was submitted by Steve Roberts:
