- - EQEMu Logo Contest! (https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11251)

I am quite fond of Skywalk's. Also, I think we should disqualify ddragonet on "God, let's not encourage that ego" grounds.

:P

With the idea of a header logo in mind, tried to make something fairly simple and small.

Thanks pp!!!!

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Cu! :lol:

http://www.eqfaces.com/photos2/eqemu_copy.jpg sorry i forgot the code, hope ya like it :D

I like Skywalk's too, Hell, he mind as well be the winner. Very impressive.

My favorites so far are from D_SkyWalk and farce. Although, farces is more EQEmu related that D_SkyWalk's.

And honorable mention (as it would be cool as a chest-pocket logo on a shirt) RippaN:

Syberwired

ahh finally. we were wondering when someone was gonna use the official EQ logo...congrats!

Syberwired i like the quotes at the bottom sounds and looks very professional

yeah but the EQ logo is a trademark of EverQuest thus EQEMu cannot use it

syberwired, that includes part of sony/verant's logo.... hell, it IS sony/verant's logo.. and its copyrighted, so therefor we cant use it in any of ours

Ops forgot to mention this earlier but use www.uploadit.org for pictures.

I like skywalk's logo as well.

Oh, and make sure whatever you choose has proper grammar :lol:
Don't want me to have an aneurysm any time I visit the page.

your<>you're :roll:

Too bad ddragonat's links are broken... I wanted to see if he could live up to the size of his head. :(

No one submitted the Everquest pic of Firiona....

Well just to be complete, here she is:

haha...I know this is off subject but that pic reminded me of a pic I saw back when only EQ Classic was out. Someone modified the OG FV picture loading screen to show a FEMALE TROLL in FV clothing instead and called it Trolliona Vie...heh

Uhm, well, so is the game code that EQEMU uses, but that hasn't stopped anyone yet. :roll:

But, to allieviate the legal implications of using copyrighted material:

This has been covered many many times, go back and read where this has been discussed over and over again, because that coment shows you do NOT know the law / have a clue what can and cant be copywrited, OR hhow this EMU works, cause the code here is written by the Devs not SOE.

You may not copy (except to make one necessary back-up copy), distribute, sell, auction, rent, lease, loan, modify or create derivative works, adapt, translate, perform, display, sublicense or transfer all or any portion of the Software.

You may not reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the Software except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.

Things that make you go, Hmmmm....

I personaly dont have an active EQ account which means i dont click I agree to that ever, so that dont mean anything at all.

EULA != Law
Agreement != Law

If you violate this agreement, they can revoke the "non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Software solely in connection with playing the Game via an authorized and fully-paid Account".

Plus, technically we are not reverse engineering "The Software". We are reverse engineering the software that "The Software" talks to.

Here's my 2 mins worth, I hope it puts a smile on someones dial!

I degress. I posted my modified logo which took out the offensive logo. Done.

I'm a newbie to the forum but have been familiar with EQemu for some time. Anyway, for what its worth, I agree that using the actual EverQuest logo is only asking for SOE to turn their attention here. While they may "allow" EQemu to exist without hassling users to much, SOE may get a little testy over actual use of the logo.

It is interesting to note the following points since some hypocrisy seems to be happening here (ie using a program to emulate a server but worry about logo trademarks).

=============

Obviously many of you don't know the law. By agreeing to the EULA (whether at installation or each time you play the game), you open yourself up to at the least a civil suit should SOE choose to press any violations. Now I don't really think they will unless there was a need for public relations, but here is where EQemu was in violation from its inception:

EULA
=============
9. You may not use any third party software to modify the Software to change Game play. You may not create, facilitate, host, link to or provide any other means through which the Game may be played by others, such as through server emulators. You may not take any action which imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure. You may not buy, sell or auction (or host or facilitate the ability to allow others to buy, sell or auction) any Game characters, items, coin or copyrighted material.
=============

You can say what you want about the way the software is engineered or designed, but the fact is that an emulator is explicitly prohibited in the EULA. It just doesn't get any plainer than that.

Also, you have used the word "EverQuest" at least once on the home page without the trademark symbol, and I'm sure in other places as well. If you want to check the trademark registration status, then [click here ]. There are also several images from the game in the form of characters and such that are the copyrighted works of SOE as artistic works. Generally, SOE doesn't say anything about using them on websites and such, but they may have a different attitude if EQemu uses them directly in a logo or any derivations of them.

Now, do I really give a damn about all this? Nope. Do I think SOE really gives a damn about EQemu? Nope, unless a mass exodus to players took place, OR users began to complain and post on the SOE tech boards, OR users made jest of the fact that EQemu used a similar logo. Does my opinion really matter? Again, nope not in the least, but I thought I'd offer it anyway just for conversation.

had a contest with my friend... took 23 secs to make this

Um... I haven't been here in a while... this is lucliner... and this is a logo I made ages ago for you guys...
