I think I'd prefer the radar one if the radar screen wasn't blank. Feels like there should be something there.

Perhaps minimize the Dragonball globe and put it in there?

I'd kind of rather have a less 'sterile' looking radar, something more like this, if anyone can find me a better version.

edit- so, like this:

I like it (uh, the Dragonbook one. Not that I don't like the Dragon Radar logo, but it's a little sterile, as you say, and I prefer the name Dragonbook).

Maybe move the Dragonbook text actually below the globe, perhaps? I'm assuming there'll be plenty of space for a logo, so there doesn't need to be any cramping issues. I can see why it's done for the Dragon Radar, it covers up a bit of empty radar space there.

I'm not sure the jigsaw globe would look good in the radar myself. Maybe just seven random placed bright spots, like on the screenshot posted? It's going to be hard to find a good, crisp image for it too.

Just my 2 cents on the name and such. I personally prefer Dragon Radar as the name of the wiki and the 4-star ball globe logo, despite the fact its not a radar. Of course, if we get a Super Awesome (or Exciting if you prefer) Radar picture to use as the logo, that could be cool too.

Something that occured to me was also the subject of ads. Can I assume the Wiki will be free of them? To match the site(s) of course. :)

I'm just gonna pop in and say my vote is for Dragon Book.

I vote for Dragonbook. Not only is it a nod to a reliable information source, but it's a nod to a reliable information source that cites facts from the Japanese version instead of the English version.

It seems unanimous that we want DragonBook.

Whoa! This is actually going to happen. :shock:


I'm not sure how I could help, but best of luck to all of you. :P

Took long enough.
I intend on devoting all my time to this.
I'll skip school to help you guys.

Oh and I forgot to mention which of titles I like better.


I'd say "Dragon Radar" because the Wiki is going to be like a radar for accurate Dragon Ball information. :P

As long as we're using the logo I designed, I don't care what we call it. Though I think Dragon Radar is better.

I prefer Dragon Radar! I also prefer the 4-star globe. And I'm also, also looking forward to this thing coming to fruition.

I think Dragonbook is nice and descriptive, but...for some reason, I still like Dragon Radar. I don't know why. I also like both logos. I've always liked TT's globe, but a good dragon radar would definitely make sense. I guess that's why I haven't posted my opinion until now: I just can't decide.

I am very impressed by how far you guys have come, the DragonBook sounds like a great name for the site.
If it's okay, I'd like to help contribute my time to the site content-wise.

Perhaps, with some awesome photoshooping, the logo could be that book the characters are reading in the DBO promo video?

That is, if Dragonbook ends up being the name.

Whatever the logo is, we can still use the puzzle piece Dragon Ball as, like, an icon.

I think I've said it before, but whatever the logo is, it should be simple, easily recognizable, and should look good at multiple sizes. I think the globe and dragon radar ideas fit that, but I'm unsure about anything more complicated that would start looking weird or confusing at smaller sizes.
