Someone made this logo for me about a year back, and I`m not that happy with it. You can barely see the text on the right side, but apart from that it`s ok.

The url is:
http://home.no/norron-mytologi/

Think you can do better? Let me know. It is a quite popular page in its genre in Norway, so quite a few people will see your artwork.

A logo should have approximately the same size as the current one, it should only contain colors you can find in nature, and it should look "low tech".

If one can incorporate an image of one or more of the Norse gods in the logo, that would be great. See for instance:

 http://home.no/norron-mytologi/grafikk/bilder/odin/bilder-odin.htm
http://home.no/norron-mytologi/grafikk/bilder/tor/bilder-tor.htm
http://home.no/norron-mytologi/grafikk/bilder/balder/bilder-balder.htm
http://home.no/norron-mytologi/grafikk/bilder/frigg/bilder-frigg.htm
http://home.no/norron-mytologi/grafikk/bilder/valkyrier/bilder-valkyrier.htm <-- I like the top image there

Anyway, feel free to surprise me. I would really appreciate help. Smiley

Beautiful image! Wow! Smiley

Just a little thing. Would it be possible to use a Norwegian ø instead of the o? "Norrøn mytologi" is the correct Norwegian spelling. The site was registered many years ago, before you could use Æ, Ø and Å in URLs, so that is why I had to call it "norron-mytologi".

But again: Very nice!

Thanks. It`s not pretty but I have a lot of content there. Wish I had the energy to translate it all to English. Smiley

Glad you like it Hallvor Cheesy Here's my second try with the o with a dash through it. Is that pronounced as ö?

Don`t touch it anymore! It`s perfect! Smiley

Yes, it is pronounced as an ö - it is really the same.

So how should I credit you? Do you have a website or anything I can link to?

I`ll upload the image tomorrow when you let me know. It`s late here, so I`ll get to bed soon.

I`ve uploaded it now, and it sure looks a lot better than the old one. I made a link back to the forum as you requested.

Thanks again. I`m very happy with the new look!  Smiley

Love the new header, Con and Hallivor!  Shows all the might of the Gods as I would imagine them.  Such drama!
