Example
I hope you enjoy my logo! Example (talk) 11:11, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Mockups:

Proposal 1
A clean Logo, with a wordmark that emulates without copying the font from the game. My design has enough to tie it to the games nicely while still having it's own identity. the full logo has long tentacles to cradle the wordmark, and add to the silhouette, while the icon by itself has a splatter. this splatter serves two purposes. It gives the bare icon a nice silhouette that's still readable while pixelated. It Also makes sure that there is always one splatter in any one image, since the wordmark already has one. My logo is also capable of taking on any two hues. A trait not unique to my design, but a very strong trait regardless. Artist: Acacia (talk) 00:03, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 2
Just a little logo that's clear and simple, not really meant to be an eye catcher, just something to put on the site for a clean, somewhat official-looking graphic. During voting, I would prefer to have Ver.3 (if we could add that and the alternate wordmark as two seperate things to vote for that would be awesome) as what people are voting for. You may also notice the letter spacing for the ver.3 alt wordmark is different in the logo table than in the mockups. The one showed in the table is the better one, and I have yet to put it into the mockups. Just wanted to remind that I don't need a prize if I win, having my work on the front page and being credited under my name would be rewarding enough. Artist: 13:21, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 4
Logo of the Splatoon 3 inkling and little buddy reading a book (the red lines are not part of the logo, wordmark or icon. My icon and logo are transparent, so the red lines show like in the example. It would not be like that if I won the contest and the logo switched to mine). Artist: AgentVeemo (talk) 08:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Proposal 7
Artist: ninckmane (talk) 02:13, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

I tried to go with a very simple and stylized look, depicting an Octoling and Inkling in a formation that looks like a compass. The wordmark was inspired by Squid Squad's logo with some tweaks. The colors can be changed really easily, and in this table I chose to represent the flagship combinations of each game.

Also, massive thanks for the feedback on both here and Discord! I tried the outlined logo on the mockups and felt it didn't look very good, so I went with the one without outlines

Proposal 8
Artist: Skua (talk) 11:26, 17 June 2022 (UTC) I wanted to make a logo similar to the current one, but more in style with some of the other NIWA logos. It ended up quite different from the first version so thanks to those who left feedback!

Proposal 12
Artist: Bigboycity (talk) 19:09, 25 June 2022‎ (UTC)

Clean vector log and wordmark. The icon was inspired by the image of an open book and the classic Splatoon squid. It also resembles a splash of ink (as if the squid is super jumping), and fits in with the recurring arrow motif in Splatoon's UI design. The wordmark is custom-drawn to match the style of Splatoon's existing wordmark. Color is subject to change.

Proposal 13
Artist: 21:06, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

(If you want to read me babble on about why I made this logo, go see round 1.)

Yeah, it took me a hot minute to submit these things. No need to ponder why. I wanted to make a logo that isn't affiliated with a specific Splatoon game, but also uses a palette that wouldn't get too annoying after a while. The second variant here might look like an inverted version of the first, but with a more cyan tinge to better differentiate it from the 'generic' infobox color.

Hope you like it.

Proposal 14
Artist: Mr. Hinoshin (talk) 22:13, 25 June 2022 (UTC) My logo is based off the chaotic theme of Splatoon 3, as can be seen by the graffiti which originates from Splatoon 3. Though I understand with my logo's direction towards Splatoon 3 that it may not exactly be timeless, and the theme of chaos may not be the best idea for a logo. Perhaps we could hold a similar contest in the future for the distant Splatoon 4 and future installments in the series, as I think the logo evolving with the series is a neat idea. However, I understand if this logo design contest was meant to design a permanent logo. Regardless I had fun making this logo and trying to emulate Splatoon’s current style.

Hi I made some tweaks to proportions and things. :) I went with the transparent rim only since it looks better on the dark backgrounds --Bzeep  talk   00:00, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
