[I&W] A new logo!

Day 2,275, 04:32 • Published in Netherlands Netherlands • by MaartenW

You might have noticed our new logo already as it is up on eRepublik since last weekend, today I will officially introduce it!

This is what our artist Daniel Parker wrote about the new logo;

All based on heraldic elements where loyalty, honor and truth are most important aspects of that 'old' (but everlasting) code.

Colors are taken from the symbols of Iron & Wine. I chose steel instead of iron because that what symbolizes when good iron gets tough and stick together in tough situations, it bonds and hardens and becomes even something stronger: steel. The reds are wine, it symbolizes that all in good humour community and friendship is what is most important.

The crow as mascot, because it's a highly intelligent animal, they are abundant and global, they are socially centered but got wits and character, and are excellent communicators. They are tough and always on the lookout to spot enemies and alert everyone else if they do.


It was also inspired by the fictional institution "The Nights Watch" to which we found to have many connections with;

"We've been guarding the Kingdoms for eight thousand years."
―Jon Snow to Ser Jaime Lannister

"Here, a man gets what he earns, when he earns it."
―Benjen Stark to Jon Snow

A man of the Night's Watch lives his life for the realm. Not for a king, nor a lord, nor the honor of this house or that house, neither for gold nor glory nor a woman's love, but for the realm, and all the people in it.

This are a few of many quotes about the night's watch we can relate to, people that haven't read the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series don't have to worry, we don't intent to refer to this much.


A big thanks to Daniel Parker for creating the new logo and banners. Quite some I&W members still have to get used to it, what do you think?

Best regards on behalf of Iron and Wine,
