Stunning! Skywind has a brand new logo!

Good people of Skywind, i have the pride and joy to announce that we have a new logo for the project !

I see you're already getting carried away by this news. How about reading the story of its design? 

As you can see, we love logos here. One logo per media, almost, and an average of two logos per year. 



Someone said :

Like, something definitive, that would please everyone. Something we could use on every media.

From the most boring ideas to the wildest fantasies, all tracks have been explored. 
In less than a week.
Yes.
We get the job done pretty quickly here.

So in the end, we had the choice between moon-and-star or nostalgia dragon.

We ended up choosing Nerevar's personal emblem.

I came up with a few ideas that were rejected.

People were like

So i made a clearer version, which was not a spoiler, nor an illustration.



Starting to look ok.
After an evening of "hey, let's write a poem about somebody's mom on the moon crescent", Ravanna offered to model the logo.

Looking nice, huh ? 
Yup.
Ravanna does cool things.

A few tweaks, a bit of work on fonts.

There we go!

I'm pretty proud of the work that has been done here. It took time, but it was worth it.

Thanks for reading!

Looks great. I'm having trouble with the Dunmeri, though. I'm reading:

Unfortunately, we lost all

Unfortunately, we lost all our archived files, so i cannot help you there.
Yet, one of our landscapers found, in a hidden location, an inscription that seems to have the same wordcount and the same number of characters.

Which is, indeed, amazing.



Good luck, Champollion

Here I am for the translation

Here I am for the translation (champollion is me \o/)

Sunakhun gahmerdohn Nerevar kogo

Winol falme humore ag en Freda

It's the translation.
When we translate, word by word, it means :

Blessed king Nerevar must hold (imperitive cauz no 'd') unbreakable promise, joined (the 'ag' is linked to humore so past participle) and to protect.
So it means : "The blessed king Nerevar must hold the unbreakable promise, joined, to protect." something like that

I'll give it a go! Looks like

I'll give it a go! Looks like Dwemeris. I'm seeing:

SUNAKHUN GAHMERDOHN NEREVAR KOGO
WINOL FALME HUMORE AG EN FREDA

The letter I'm translating as 'N' I'm basing from "_EREVAR". As such, the letter that looks more like 'N' I'm translating as 'M', since they're similar.

Here are the mistakes I seem to have made with the Dunmeri:

SUNAKHUN GAHMERKOHN NEREVAR WINOL KOGO FALME HUMOREAG EN FREKA

However, the second 'K' in Dunmeri/Daedric doesn't look at all like a 'D' to me. None-the-less, assuming my Dwemeris is correct, and with couple of helpful web pages...

Edit: Koniev, you beat me to it. So Nexos, come on - what's the intended exact meaning?

"Blessed Lord Nerevar, Bond

"Blessed Lord Nerevar, Bond Eternal, Hold Together and Protect"

as this is a wedding ring as well as a symbol of Chimer+Dwemer cooperation it has a double meaning.
