Pathos logo

List of logos: :Category:Images - Logo
The Pathos logo is the logo that is used as the representation of Pathos and it's departments. Currently it is a modified version of the SCP Foundation logo. All departments have a symbol in the middle as their logo. Original logos come in 900x900px format but are often condensed into Roblox/Discord logos which makes the source file difficult to come by unless your a command member. This wiki has multiple 900x900px logos which is primarily obtained through inspect element in Google Docs. 
Logo variations:
*Normal: Contains the standard Pathos logo with the department symbol in the center.
*Simplified: Contains the simplified Pathos logo with the department symbol in the center. This can be either the black or white color. Additionally, some logos have the symbol colored to the department color.
*Old: Contains the old Pathos logo with the department symbol at the center.

=== Controversies ===
===== Gradient =====
Certain logos, mostly BRD and EMS have the center area of their logo off gradient with the rest of the logo. This is because the original format with proper gradients hard to find and so command members making the new divisional logos just use bucket fill in the center to make it look decent. A side effect to this is that the center gray ring is blocky as it looses its finer fading. You can avoid this by adding a gradient or coloring the whole thing gradient less. It should also be noted that certain logos like BRD have their symbol off center.

===== Shadow =====
The shadow is a known controversy in the logo design. Certain logos have a shadow that cuts off at the bottom and some have a smaller shadow that doesn't. This leads to a sense of disunity and poor appearance. The Security Department has combated this by adding a black rim (pictured in Logo Elements) around their logo.
* Small shadow: Pathos, DoA, OOTA, SD, SRU, CSU, MP, and EC
* Large shadow: MaD, F-2, AD, ScD, BCS, BRD, MTF, C-9, R-8, AA, DDA, ISS, EMS, and MD
