Well, that was exactly what Jetrel said I should do (if I understood correctly).

The flat-top T's don't look as good as before. I think you should move the words 'Battle' and 'Wesoth' just a tad closer to the 'the' as well.

The placement of the text is copied directly from the old version.

I've now opened a thread for the translated versions for all you polyglots. :)

Is the last posted on the final English version?

Yeah, I think this is as good as it's going to get. I could tweak it till kindom come, but it wouldn't look significantly better, only slightly different. I was thinking I would get all the translations done (the Cyrillics and Greek still under work) and then post it all in one big bundle, but I can post the English version already if you want to commit it.

Yes, could you post the English one? Then we'll do the translations as a batch, but better to have the English one already committed.

Here's the english text in 5760x1920, without background, so it can also be used to make text-only versions. For the complete logo, import the image as a centered bottom layer.

The SVG will contain all the language versions in one file and I will post it when it's complete. I will also write a script that makes rendering the versions in desired resolutions easy.

I have committed the English text. :D Big thanks for working on this.

In regards to scaling/cropping, I scaled the image down to 200h and trimmed the whitespace from the edges for a final size of 200hx440w. Will your script be able to generate that size and fit the translated text, or should we use a slightly larger standard size (like 200hx500w)?

I can make the script do some cropping, but some of the translations have much wider text. The aspect ratio should be 3:1 to fit all of them.

Ok, I will make 200h x 600w standard.

Indeed. This most recent version looks great. :) Thanks a ton.

images.zip - The text-only versions of all translations in 600x200 resolution. It contains 42 images, some of them are used in more than one translations and some translation use the English image.

logoscript.zip - This is the "source package" for the Wesnoth logo. There are:
  • SVG files for the shield+swords image and the text (they are in separate files, all the translations in one file)
  • a python script for making the rendering easier (you can use it to render in different resolutions and more than one language version at once).
  • font files for the fonts used (only needed for adding translations, not for rendering)
  • instructions.
The script uses Inkscape as a rendering backend and should work with both Python 2.7 and 3.x as well as Inkscape versions .48 and .91. I've only tested this on Linux, I would be interested to hear if it works elsewhere.

I should note that even though SVG is a general standard, currently the only software (that I know of) to render these files properly is Inkscape. I'm trying to find out if I could get them to work at least with Batik.

Thanks! Vultraz already added the SVG to our resource repo, I'll get the localized png's wired in ASAP.
