Help us with the design of Turntoislam. I am going to be making some changes soon, and time has come to also make a re-design. So, rather than just making it, its important also to have you involved too.

Deadline: Friday 20th August.

(the thread might stay open beyond that date, but the sooner u can send us ur ideas the better, inshaAllah)

You can help us by making a new logo, it can be any colour, or design you wish. But, remember the site colour scheme will be determined by the logo as well.. so this is keep this in mind please.

However, the Logo should be:

* unique
* Scalable something we can use in different formats, i.e. on the website and also easily used on a leaflet or poster, newsletter etc
* TTI Uses the Letters TTI
* Rememerable

additional things that the logo may reflect, not 100% necessary, but cool are:

* showing the nature of our family atmosphere/community
* that we correct misconceptions
* (authenticity) that we love the Quran and Sunnah.

Some of those things can be reflected in the way the text is written.

When I ask think of a logo or a brand? You will automatically think of Nike, Adidas, McDonalds even. Their logos are simple and easily remembered. We need something similar with TTI.

Please do not use this current website design as an example, be free to express your ideas however you want.

Post your ideas here. You can upload your file as an attachment.

Its not necessary that you make your picture using computer. Perhaps you have ideas, but, you are not very good at graphic design, thats Okay. Just draw it by hand, and Scan it, or photograph it, and upload as an attachment. Everyone is welcome to participate, dont worry, it does not have to look "amazing", just have a go ! its fun, and its something we are doing so that we have a better way of communicating the message of Islam, to a wider audience.

and inshaAllah its a beginning of a new era for TTI too. We will go on to do a lot more things together. bi'iznillah.

Classic TTI logo (used at the start) :



I designed this when I first made TTI, it was kinda rushed, but I wanted keep it simple. I think its nice, can do with some re-working. Maybe you like it, maybe you dont! Whatever the case, feel free to change it around. Perhaps its better to just have TTI written underneath and the text turntoislam written in more legible writing to the side.


and ..



This is more of a banner, its not really a logo. A logo, is more like the thing u see to the left, the orange mosque. -Orange mosques, are cool

Maybe your design is completely different, thats Okay.

But keep it simple, and also make it recognisable for our logo.

Here is another example of a design, i was thinking of the Islamic patterns. But, I dunno, its kinda common to see these kind of designs....

Squiggly Colour blobs... are just colour blobs.. dont ask!! but, i was just thinking what are nice pastel shaded colours!!

So, what best expresses TurntoIslam ? in a logo?? Have a go, inshaAllah.

(p.s please keep the replies limited to this topic, dont ask questions about any features for TTI or anything else, or when the website will be ready, this is just a topic about the logo and its design. )

Jazak Allahu khayr

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Wa'alaykum assalaam.

Wow, that's a really good idea. InshaAllaah I'm in :')

There's no deadline right?

 

[Mabsoot]

assalamu alaykum Channa, I think 20th of August is an Okay deadline. Really we need something sooner though

 

[arachan]

:salam2:

so is it free of mind? well, I'm not so good bout it, but i'll see if i can help...

honestly, the colour of the website is unattractive...

it would be nicer if the colour is bright one...

mix the colours, then we'll find the nicest counterpoint...

for the logo, letters, brand, I have no idea so far... T.T

Salam Alikom,
Sounds interesting and very exciting but the 20th of August is little short though. At least for me since I am too busy right now.
Anyway, I'll keep this in mind and I'll try to come up with something original inchAllah.

By the way, I did this two years ago among my collection of the homemade TTI's avatar (it can not be used as a logo though)

Wassalam,

Salam Brother Mabsoot,

Assalaamu alaikum,

I am not very artistic :shymuslima1: ...but I just wanted to say something. The cresent is NOT an Islamic symbol...please lets just stick with the Sunnah.
PS: I like the above image as a logo by brother AdamMuslim.

Assalamou Alikom sister AmatouAllah4lyf,

Of course the crescent have nothing to do with Islam from the Sunnah point of view. Indeed this symbol was brought by the Ottoman culture to Islam. Nonetheless there is no harm in my opinion to consider it as a symbol to ease things (directions, map reading, etc) for non-Muslim as well as Muslim without having any intrinsic religious value (just a convention!). Same thing as @, #, >,< etc etc.

And Allah knows best .

Wassalam

Akhi, I dont mean to start a debate....and I am in no way trying to drift from this topic at hand.....I ask for forgiveness if I come out like that with what I am about to say.
I dont really see how the crescent is used as a direction maybe I am missing something here, but I am of the opinion that it MIGHT actually mislead people into thinking that "It represents Islam"....we already know that it has done that. I used to think that way till I read that thread alhamdulillaah. IF I am wrong here, I ask Allaah to forgive me,
and indeed He subhanahu wata'ala knows BEST!

Salaam aleikum,

I must say,I really like this one.
Indeed we need more color, but not to much because when people want to read things you need a more easy background. Not that people will see the background first instead of the posts

good luck

ma al salama
