Objective:
To remain on brand by having our sky match the Official logo of Decentraland.
Problem:
Right now we have one sun in the sky in Decentraland, but our logo shows two suns on it. There is no clear reasoning as to why the logo has two suns. Without clear purpose, this logo remains unrelated to the actual world of Decentraland.
Considerations:
The Decentraland logo has had two distinct versions over time. The first consisted of two suns, a mountain range, and trees in the foreground. A later version, first seen in 2018/2019, also had two suns, with two prominent mountains as well. The constant between these two versions has been having two suns in the sky. In more recent times, the Decentraland DAO has created a derivative of the main logo, also with two suns in the sky.
Benefits:
Storybuilding is the most important aspect of good gaming experiences. Online fantasy worlds thrive off of creativity and uniqueness. Our logo is very distinct, as having two suns set Decentraland apart from other online platforms that adhere to the traditional one-sun sky. By adding a second sun to our sky, we can offer our users a unique visual effect, one that they cannot experience in the real world. To many of us, it does not make sense why we have two suns in our logo, and only one sun in our sky. There is a disconnect between our branding and what our world really looks like. By putting a second, smaller sun in our sky, we will be one step closer to building a cohesive and recognizable brand. Pictures of avatars with two suns in the sky will be more easily distinguished as Decentraland, and we will begin to build brand recognition.
As more users transition from Web2 to Web3, I believe it is important to build a strong brand representation here in Decentraland. This is one small way that we can improve our brand recognition across a global audience.
