@Neyawn I know no one asked me for it, but I would like to give some feedback on the logo. Basically, I have pursued graphic designing, UI/ UX, logo making as a part of campus groups during my college days.. Did some internship as well in the design field.I also wanted to appreciate mgp and other brochures of forum, they reflect presence of some graphic design-aligned mind curating them. To a usual upsc aspirant these things will not matter but my mind takes me back to the old days when I spent hours figuring out alignment and color combinations in some logos, I worked on.Regarding, the logo.. I feel there's something odd which irks my minds.- With the arrow coming in the logo, 'IAS' in ForumIAS appears thin. Basically, arrrow, Forum and IAS have 3 different font styles which in my view breaks uniformity.I believe arrow and IAS, if they have similar styles or use of 2 font style instead of 3 will bring simplicity and uniformity.Apart from logo, I really feel the portal to show good mgp copies can be designed in a different manner:Having links to ans copies of all toppers in one webpage >a webpage for every topper.Design can be very subjective and you may have your own reasons of why a particular thing was designed this way.I just wanted to express what I felt.Thank you for your two cents.
I could either make that IAS thicker or the arrow slimmer. If I make the arrow slimmer it will not be visible. If I touch with the IAS thickness, it may be too much change ( my concern ).
Can you make a logo for us if you have time? It could be a small gig? I would like to have infinity or something with some changes like the original firefox browser = inifity symbol and the new Forefox focus logo as the edited version of the inifinity symbol?
You would recommend having one single page for all the topper copies?
I also believe ForumIAS should be left as it is, we've all built some sort of connect with this part of the logo.
The addition has been the arrow part so we can possibly make changes on that.
I would be happy to design a logo for Forum :) if I'm given a flexible timeline.
The infinity concept sounds interesting.
I come from tech background and was involved with startups for brief period of time. A startup named toppr have their logo also on the arrow concept. The arrow concept is appealing as it reflects 'upwards n onwards' sort of message.
What I meant from a single webpage for all topper answer copies was something like vision(If I'm allowed to name). On a single page they've provided ans copies of all toppers across years, saves time for the user + one may also get some good copies of toppers whose name they didn't knew.
But this is my view, others may think differently or you might have some others factors in mind while designing the pages.

@Neyawn one more addition in feedback on logo:
- red(arrow) isn't equal to red(IAS)
Minor difference in color codes, but there's a difference I think.
Sorry to break flow of the discussion. 😶
