Here's an attempt of recreating the TOZ logo at a higher resolution. The original image also had remnants of circles surrounding the pentagram, they have been removed. I've provided my remake, and a downscale of it which uses the same resolution as the original logo.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Here's the large image, 2200 x 1028
Here's a down-scaled version, which matches the size of the original TOZ logo (550 x 250)
And here's the original one for reference
The Logo looks awesum !!!!
Maby move it a bit to the left just a suggestion. Haha

Happy Beltane’s Eve brother!
Is there a why you could also upgrade the Icons on the startpage of the ToZ?
You know, those little white pentagrams, which lead you to the different sections like „Welcome“, „Satan“, „Zevism“ etc.
I just noticed how cool and convenient it is to have an artist here, who is willing to put some effort in for Satan. =)

Obviously readability and clarity is very important with this, checking the 550 x 257 version (the one the ToZ website uses) on my phone, it is still readable, though I can understand your concerns.
Personally, I believe it is a small sacrifice in clarity for a nice effect that really brings the text forward from the pentagram, I wanted to give the logo a cleaner look, while giving it presence. However, the decision isn't mine to make, and it is going through alterations at the moment.
Here's what I believe you had in mind
This is also beautiful. However, I think the little dark tint on the letters, is dark and cool in a beautiful way.

Waiting a bit to update on the other websites also, will happen soon. We're having some technical difficulty right now.
Plan is to update all the logos.

Sounds great! It does has a great impact on how you feel when you access the sites and look on the Logo.
Didn't think it would be that much tbh. So I am looking forward to that!

The new logo makes the sites look much nicer! However, in the old logo, I love the way the goat's eyes stare back at you! The new one just doesn't seem to capture that alive expression. I wouldn't want to ask you to spend time trying such a complicated change, so I did. Here's my attempt at creating a high-quality version of the old logo in a similar style. It's a bit brighter, and I kept the ellipse underneath, but the goat has the original face. Here's a side-by-side comparison:
I think mine is an improvement, but both are beautiful. It's fine if we stick with your version, but I wanted to post my attempt to see what everyone thinks. I can easily tweak the effects to make it darker if you want to see how that would look.

The white pentagrams do need to be updated. The new logo makes it especially obvious. I've been planning to update the whole home page, and this seems like a good time to start, so here's my version:
It is also live on the Tor siteExternal ↗.
I chose a more modern font and the new white pentagram has nothing in the center because I think the empty hole makes nice bullet points for the list. To keep the page clean, I'm going to move the "Important Information" link to the Welcome page.
Feel free to make suggestions!

Damn brother I think it looks very good. I like how brightly everything shines, it is so vibrant.
I do believe the new Pentagram looks way better, but my mind has a hard time accepting it, as I got so used to the old pentagram. :lol:
But it does look better.
Thank you! =)

Nice :o

You might consider Huion, it's cheaper and does the same. That's the one I know and use at least, there might be cheaper options as well.
Also there is an argument against visual display tablets because of posture, so you might go even cheaper by going with an intuous tablet (whatever brand you prefer):

This is counter perspective to the above, on a classical standpoint that the optimal is the canvas in front of your face:

Whoa! How fantastic I love this
Looks good. Fits the forum well. I do however think that the old more "gritty" version had it's charm on the official website. But maybe that's just me. The official website (templeofzeus.org) is overall very good in it's original form. Very clean and informative in a yet original way.
I also remember an old version of that had very professional design for a short while before it came down for good. I have always wondered what happened to that one.
Here's a couple more upgraded images:

As always, any feedback would be appreciated, and I'm happy to try changes.
Thanks again to Satanic Eagle for inspiration on a good style to use!

I know what you mean. The trouble is that the old graphics look fuzzy, not just "gritty" on high-quality screens, which are becoming increasingly common. But don't worry, the official website is forever preserved in it's "original" form in my offline mirrorFull site ↗.
Is this the version of you remember?

that's the version.
There is already an ongoing effort to design these by a Zevist, please do not see this as voting competition, but rather as distribution of work.
