Challenge: Create a Logo for BIRT

Yelnoc

The Byzantine Foundation for Radio and Television (BIRT) is still very much alive. We are creating a website now and, one key thing we need is a logo. And so we turn to you, denizens of ah.com.

We are looking for an SVG of something related to the project name/acronym and/or to Byzantium. An Ottoman flare is also acceptable. We, of course, prioritize coolness :cool:

Note that if your design is accepted, you will have to "sign the rights of the design" over to us for legal reasons. It's a tiny little step but necessary since BIRT is setting itself up as an actual legal entity. You will of course be credited with your creation.

So, what are you waiting for?

This is a PNG and it's plundered from this Commons image, but I'm throwing it out there in the interest of brainstorming.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, this didn't turn out as great as it seemed in my head. EDIT: especially with the gif aliasing, nice.

EDIT2: That was too painfully terrible not to try and fix -

Two-headed eagle works too, but I think a Chi-Rho would be better because it's a simpler symbol and more recognisable even on a very small scale (like, say, a few-pixel icon in a corner).

X-P is such a strongly religious symbol, though, with much wider associations than just Byzantine. I agree with you about the need for a logo that shrinks well. This one doesn't. I bet there's a form out there that would, though.

I'm also trying to create one based on tracing Hagia Sophia. Just looking around for a good photo to use - I've done a logos based on other buildings before.

The BIRT thread has a bunch as well as my first attempts at a Hagia logo.

Something along these lines?

Basically that, but with the 'BIRT' lettering appropriately sized so it's the same width as the Chi-Rho above it.

Also like Ben's Hagia Sophia idea. Can we try that as purple on gold rather than on white (or the other way around?)
