I already mentioned it was a musical organ used to, well, declare war.

Ah, sorry, I thought you said instrument. Where was it used? I've never heard about it before.

Well, the orcs used it in Warcraft III

Actually, it was a very basic organ and used perhaps in many parts of the world. There must be another name for it that is familiar to you. Perhaps you would call it a war trumpet. Like I said, it is very basic, but produces tremendous sound. It sure must have kicked off wars really well.

This is something pretty close, though the one I actually saw had a greater curve, and was older.

But isn't it just a kind of horn?

Are you talking about it's sound, or it's look. Actually, either is kind of true. But then, that is what it was meant to be.

I was wondering if we could have an unofficial logo design contest for metalthrone, since there is no logo yet.

Alfader · #28 12-05-2006, 01:31 AM

Yeah, I was thinking about the same yesterday.

Asura · #29 12-05-2006, 01:57 AM

Go ahead and do it

Somewhat incomplete logo I was making. Made from, Ram's horns which make the 'm' on the top, an axe etc.

By the way, what would members here consider a good logo, and what elements would you like to see in it?
