Inkscape-ing a logo (not only) for MSOC

Thanks to Inkscape, I'm now able to explore the world-of-designing without the need to crack or keygen my way to Illustrator or Corel. I could create icons and cool text graphics using this user-friendly vector graphics editing tool to enhance my (Powerpoint) presentation! But the benefits are not for me only. At least our research project group facilitator was quite impressed with how the designs above have enhanced our publishable-research presentation that day. And so did the judging lecturers, impressed, to the extent of saying our research to be (like i've said) publishable. The M207 Malaysian Studies Project last month also benefited from this amazing but simply easy-to-use program. Someone told me that she really liked the logo & poster of this event. "Really?" I replied. Since jyu-bonk has called on "other people to try and create one [logo] or give ideas [on] how the logo [is] going to be [like]." in the official (IMU Muslim Society) MSOC blog (even that blog's logo was created using Inkscape), I thought that I might contribute a little to our little society in creating our logo. First attempts were inspired by IMU colours, crescent and dome - since it'd be a logo for -IMU- (the colours)-MUSLIM-(crescent and dome) society. The first looks like there are just too many crescents. The second looks like something you'd put up on a signboard for a 24-hr restaurant (if you know what I mean). Roti canai satu? Then, I enhanced those early designs and came up with three-sets of logo design options. Now, we're a bit more serious..heh. Hope you like them all. (you have to choose only one though)

Before I end, allow me to wish everyone SELAMAT HARI RAYA! Maaf Zahir (& batin?) I'm very excited since this may be the last raya wish from me in Malaysia (the next one would be half-a-decade from now)

p/s: I really don't mind if MSOC will choose a better logo design for itself...hahaha
