I agree with you that people should know who it is by looking but I thought most people would know The War logo?

I'm not sure about it, I mean people probably recognized it as EXO "new album logo" when it was released but it's been a while and remember we're gonna have this badge for next 1-1,5 year. Tbh if I was a non-fan or even a casual fan I doubt I would remember a logo of an album released more than 2-3 months ago lmao.

I see what you mean, I just feel like EXO is well represented by their logos so it might be fine, even their items on the Marketplace use the logos and I imagine people would remember that it's EXO. And the current K and M badges are the LO and Monster logos and it seemed fine imo unless people didn't recognize them after a while

We saw how it ended with the CBX badge... Everyone sees that is CBX but the fluorescent colors are too much and don't match anything (no, not even the EXO badge) .+ the EXO logo is visible in Thay's mocks x

But why is it important for the EXO/CBX badge to match other badges? I can see the EXO+K+M badges matching, but I think worrying about it matching other group/people badges should not matter. And CBX tends to have their own logos and colors, so that shouldn't have to match the EXO badge tbh

 

I understand where you're coming from, but at the same time people just have to hover their mouse over the mock to see the group it's from, and in less than a month everybody will be used to it.. Besides the bird of paradise, I'm not very sure people are familiar with the other two leaf logos... I respect your opinion, I'm just not sure I agree.

 

Anyway, someone had asked for mocks with dark backgrounds for The War logos, so I tried something

I tried, but the leaves become very hard to distinguish once I remove the color :(

Not bad. The black looks nice.

I think M and K badges are less important to be "recognizable" cause 1. less people display those badges 2. they're dead subunits. That's why imo different versions of The War logo would be perfect for M and K badges and some more universal logo for EXO group badge.

Well, it's impossible to predict the other new badges, so it's not that. I just think a fluorescent badge doesn't look good in general.. Yes, it represents CBX but it doesn't look very pretty (my opinion again, don't take it at heart please) - It'd be nice to combine both things: something that represents EXO as a group or the 2017 era & a badge that looks pretty and might match others as well. (many care about aesthetic and are multifandom or just would love the main group badge to match the individual ones etc)

But again, it's hard to create a badge that represent EXO- They had so many eras, concepts etc... For example the leaves and the blue ones represent very well 2017!EXO but that's just how I see it :lol: That's subjective.

I guess I understand that, I would just hate for The War's main logo to be wasted though I still want to see what suggestions people come up with  laugh.png

Maybe some combo with the birds of paradise flower and the main EXO logo we all know. Like Yermin says, it would be such a waste to not use the iconic logo that was for The War. And not the watered down versions people seem to want to use. Sorry to everyone that likes it, but the original logo is great, and people are trying to tone it down to boring.

I just made these 2 Baek one's because I was bored lol, he really doesn't have that much material this year.. 

 

I kinda liked that too and the mullet one, we discussed in Baek's thread earlier that beret one is nice too. warstarplz.png

lmao this thread started to move so fast since award season was announced harharplz.png

I like this one:

and still, no matter how pretty I find all the flower logos I can't convince myself that the seasonal logos represent EXO as a whole well, I don't want people to ask me "wow your badge is so pretty, what group is that", I want everyone to know it's an EXO badge and I'm an EXO fan without any doubt.

But I think everyone recognizes the leaf logos for exo

There are three users making it

:omg: wow ok

Is it because an edit pic, or bcs they're kissing ?

Wait,you were serious about the badge?

 

I don't know if edited pictures are allowed but I don't know, it just doesn't look like something they would take, you can't even tell who it is in this picture...

I remember getting bad headache whenever i open/lurk/read the Exo badge thread last time, it was like stepping in the war zone and i wouldn't be surprise if i would experience the same again this time  laugh.png  I'll just vote quietly. Goodluck to everyone.

Well, at the end of the day if we have different opinions we'll just vote for whatever we prefer and hope for a non-tragic winner laugh.png Some people prefer simple, straight-to-the-point badges, and some think badges ought to be more ~aesthetic~ and have some twist to the original idea. I'll try to comply to everyone's ideas as in making badges according to suggestions, but that means suggestions on both sides. In the end voters will decide d7ghocb.gif

 

 

Changing the page and talking about members badges again, for Chen I've pretty much made up my mind. For me these are the two good options

I'm partial to the first one because: blond!Dae. And it matches the leaves aesthetics lol

 

 

I was looking for material on Kyungsoo and it's been hard warstarplz.png  These are the ones I managed to sketch so far
