No need for that, I'll do it my self. :yep: Now, now about to squeeze in some Subsim.com logo somewhere? What do you think about that? :hmm2:

Nice. You can use the logo of the radio room, with the german hat. See here, up!

Yes, left corner i would say.

"Best of subsim 2017" maybe left next to "best of subsim 2014"..?

As recommended by vdr1981, I reduced the font spacing making space for a slight increase of TWoS text size, according to fitzcarraldo (dis)liking I removed the shadowed box where the 5 min notice is supposed to be, and I have added a hint of rust to the metal version, as per LesBaker's suggestion.

Waiting for your new feedback now :salute:

Rusty metal for me....

Very nice.

That rusty metal looks Cool!
Maybe rivets in the lettering? Would press the point it's metal.

Yep, nice logo; I have cleaned it up already (removed the "radioroom" lettering), but I doubt that it is the official subsim logo. I think the one with the submarine silouette is the most distinctive one. Vecko, what do you think? Do you have a clean copy of it, or can you ask Neal a copy of it?

Maybe, but: subsim logo, 5 minutes notice, best of subsim 2017 patch, best of subsim 2014 patch... all that stuff in a row on the screen bottom. Isn't that too a crammed layout? I would rather keep the two patches in their current positions, one on top of the other, and place the subsim logo near the bottom left corner, or group logo and patches arranging them on the right of the screen... :hmmm:

Rivets you say... Let me think how I can add some without overdoing with them :hmm2:

I think you're right...:hmmm: 2x "Best of Subsim" badges should be big enough Subsim reference. :yep:

Good point :up:

If you have a clean copy of the subsim logo that you used in your first version of the loading screen, send it my way so that I can experiment a bit with it, if not nevermind and let's keep that screen as clean as possible. The picture itself is so beautiful that it would be a pity covering it with too many overlays...

Good morning mates,


sorry for question again, but actually I do the "Operation Weserübung" mission. I searched the marked mission area for the britisch taskforce, 07.04. - 10.04., but don't find any warship. Sometimes merchantships, but no taskforce. Is the "battle of narvik" within the patrol zone, or did I wrong?


Where did you find the english fleet? Thanks mates ;)

Hi Tobias,

Patrolling the Narvik bay, you should encounter something!
British task force are entering bay beginning of April, i sunk the Q.Elisabeth battle ship the 9th (going outside the Bay) and the Glorious Fleet Carrier the 10th along Norvegian coast North of Bergen, on my way home (this task force was heading north toward Narvik probably)

Have to say i didn’t even choose the operation Wesserubung in bunker...was heading for my mission west England, when i received a red radio message telling me to sink any ship trying to enter Narvik bay. So decided to have a look :yep:

For your reference, here's a new proposal for the TWoS loading screen with slightly darkened metal letterring (in the previous version it was a bit too silvery for a rusty piece of steel), rivets on the letterring as suggested by Jeff, shadowed box on the bottom as per Vecko's request and a provisional subsim logo in the bottom left corner (the one suggested by Fernando, while I am waiting for the "official" one with the sub silouette):

Let me know what you think about every single change guys :)

It's beautiful for me!

The official logo is in the main page www.subsim.con. I think you can download it as image. Don't know autorización is required. Contact Neal Stevens for that.

Best regards.

@Gap: here there are some SUBSIM logos I collected:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/dq10se...ubsim.rar/file

I think you can use them. I collected these logos from Google images.

For my, the german hat is nice, but if you prefer the official or another, in the RAR file there are some nice examples.

We shold contact Neal Stevens for authorization (????)

Best regards.

Thank you Fernando. I had seen the logo in the subsim homepage, but I was hoping that Vecko had a clean one (of decent resolution and without background) close at hand. In any case, the stuff you have uploaded is enough for me to redraw the logo, if needed :up:

I like it too, but in the context of the current loading screen, I think a more stilized logo, or no subsim logo at all, would look a bit better :yep:

Good remark :up:

Any decison on whether to use the subsim logo or not, and which one we should use, is entirely on Vecko and Neal, indeed. I am only involved in "artistic" aspects, but going by the first layout proposed by Vecko (before I offered to rework it), I think Neal has already granted permission to use it. If not, Vecko should ask permission to do it, before making the new loading screen public with the next TWoS release.

vdr1981 12-05-18 08:35 AM

I'd say without the rivets ...They look like letters having a measles. :D Without the Subsim logo as well. I don't want to provoke any possible or impossible legal troubles by some frustrated noob who can not handle install instructions or similar. So far I'm pretty much satisfied with this one...

Vecko, this version without the rivets and the subsim logo, but the slightly darkened metal letterring would be perfect. :up::salute:

Okay, in that case, let me send you a better version of it: the layout proposals I have posted on the forum are Jpg-compressed. By the way: are you 100% sure that bitmaps bigger than 1024 x 512 pixels are not possible? The beauty of the original picture might be worth a little messing in UI Editor :03:

Well, I tried everything I know. There may be the solution for this issue but I'm not aware of it honestly...
