Here is my final design, there are some slight differences, for example, the dot above “i” in “media” is slightly larger, complementing a realigned “signal” icon. The thickness of the word “Spy” is also ever so slightly thicker.
I also was playing with the colour Orange, trying to implement the colour into my logo, a lot of people seem attached to the Orange, and I don’t blame anyone, looking back at internet archives suggests Orange has always been in the site’s theme, however, I believe we should start off fresh and clean
The internet “signal” icon plays a large role in my design, almost the site’s primary icon. As many media outlets and mediums shift towards the internet, I think it’s fitting that we as a site reflect that.
Proposed Media Spy Logo - Light Theme
Proposed Media Spy Logo - Dark Theme
Realigned Icon
Proposed Media Spy Slogan - Potential Advertising Purposes
Proposed Media Spy Awards Logo
This logo is the only instance where the Media Spy “Orange” comes into play, I thought it would be fitting to design a logo with a touch of Orange alluding to the history of this site.
Application of Logo - Various
These next few captures demonstrates the new look and the website with my proposed logo. It also highlights how the the “signal” icon can be used as a complimentary asset for the site’s new look.
Media Spy Newsfeed
Browsing archive material of this site suggests that we once had a news section/user generated news. Perhaps this is something we can get into later in the future. Discourse has a great newsfeed plugin.
Facebook Advertisement - Example
Other/Miscellaneous
Wouldn’t this be nice
