The World’s Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

NEED YOUR INPUT: Social Networking Buttons

Hey, everyone we need your help.

We want to create several social networking buttons to be used on your websites. Many of you have used the Atheist Nexus badges, but we want to create ones like we see all the time. Like these:

The Foundation Beyond Belief had one created for their website.

Atheist Revolution uses our sites favicon.

One graphic artist created the ones below. I like them, but they may be too dark.

Here's what we need:

1. Graphic artists: reply to this discuss with a sample of your own.
2. Everyone else: Do you like the simple "X" (like is used with Facebook and Twitter)? Or, should we keep the word "US" with it as well?

Soon we will have a page with dozens of samples free for the taking. If yours is used, full credit will be given.

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Hmmm. I kinda like it. What do you think?

Perhaps the dark orange or the blue in our top banner.

I look forward to seeing more.

Ok, some orange/blue color variations for you:

I'm not sure about that last one, but I thought I'd at least try it.

I prefer the orange and blue variation (last aone) because it looks less like an X.

As an artist and teacher, I think that although the x is attractive, you really need to have the "A" in there as that our common atheism is the whole point of the site. The problem with the letter A is that it notes literature such as The Scarlet Letter....we need a different logo that doesn't have a negative connotation....an X is negative....so is the A.... The issue is that we don't wear our non religion around our necks... Something needs to be invented.

What if we added a nucleus to it to make it look more like an actual atom?

I'm not a graphic artist, but I do have a different idea! Why not use the null sign (zero with a bar across it) followed by a T, for non-theist. I rather dislike the A you use for Athiest, mostly because I originate from Alabama and it looks too much like a Roll Tide "A" (college football and believe it or not, the same script "A")---it's a mirror image I just can't seem to shake, though I know I am a minority here. I see the "A", I see "Alabama Football"---not what is intended. Sigh....

Another suggestion, though am sure someone owns this is Darwin's fish---not the christian fish, but the fish with feet to show where we come from---Evolution.

Whatcha think?

I like the "X" on the glossy white background, but I'd prefer to see the "X" in blue.

The 'US' from Nexus doesn't make me think 'Atheist Nexus,' it makes me think 'US' like community, which is great, but also U.S.- though A|N is international. Though I like the US in Atheist Nexus, as it could lead to catchy phrases, A|N may be better branding & the phrases can exist w/o that. Your thoughts?

Also, let me add- for design purposes, something simple & scalable will be best. The plain Nexus 'X' is strongest alone, but in bold colours.
