Hate speech has no place in gaming: Stuart Robertson’s OSR logo

Stuart Robertson is right the fuck on the money with this one: As the creator of the most widely used OSR logo, he is legally withdrawing the right to use it on any works containing hate speech (as defined by Canadian law).

The thread on Google+ where he made this announcement is epic. If you have as many toxic right-wing assholes blocked as I do it will be a gap-filled but highly entertaining read. Anything that pisses off bigots is a good thing; that it’s a principled stand backed up by Stuart’s apparently infinite patience is all the more impressive.

Hate speech has no place in gaming.

You too can ooh-ess-arr

After seeing the killer glam/KISS OSR logo that Stuart Robertson designed, I thought it’d be fun to make a variant with an umlaut (because metal, and because changing the pronunciation is funny), in purple (because I love purple).

Stuart shared the link for the font, Die Nasty (which is free for most uses, but do check the license), so I knocked this together.

If you’d like to use this logo, just conform to the terms of the Die Nasty font license and you’re all set. (If you want to attribute the logo to me, with a link here, that’d be awesome — but it’s not required.)

It resizes pretty cleanly, but if you’d prefer to recreate it and fiddle with stuff, just install the font and you’re off and running. (I adjusted the kerning in Word, and then a bit more in MS Paint, in order to get the “S” centered.)
