As for me, I really just haven't had proper time the last few days. Lots of personal stuff, and spending some time doing support at sm.org which is helping me focus on another decision that needs to be made for us and I think I have an answer for you on it. (Will PM you about that.)

272 somehow makes me think of the Transformers for some reason, no idea why. The W doesn't really convey anything Wedge like.[1]

282 is better, has some of the 'wedge' aspect to it, and works as a favicon size too, but reminds me of WP's logo a bit too much.

30 strikes me much as 272 does.

weahah is actually kind of nice, even if it is a joke.

As for Live's ideas, I like them stylistically though they need polish to get rid of the jaggies.
 1. Which is kind of important to me, especially in light of MyBB's new logo/mascot, which is an astronaut suit.

My favorites: welogo24h (the small one), welogo26 (the big one), and welogo30.
My absolute favorite is welogo30 - because it works very well in all sizes, and it has a 'style' to it.
And has nothing to do with Transformers, but if it helps you like it... :P

weahah is okay I guess, but I've got it opened here, and each time I disable the white fill, I get the 'busy logo' again, on top of a blue square (making it even busier), and it just looks cooler... But what I'm looking for, is getting further away from the busy aspect of the logo. Hence my choice for a much simpler logo shape, but this time with visual effects (the glow effects).

I don't dislike 30, it just doesn't grab me in any meaningful way. 24h/26 look good, though.

There is some value to the simpler logo shape - but there is also some value to having some 'busy' aspect to it.

Just look at mybb since you pointed it out. Their logo is busy *and* doesn't mean a thing. Their mascot doesn't represent much (and it's a tad ugly may I say.)
Let's give it a couple of days :P

Pixel-perfect design is a bit of a challenge with not the stillest hands. It's around the "petals", right? I could apply a small white glow to hide it.

Actually... I didn't. I started with wedgebox.

It's more the petals but it does affect the letters too. Zoom on the browser might help? (Works for me)

[sarcastic] Maybe they support (Can't think of the persons username.).[/sarcastic]

@Nao The only thing that I can say is so far I like all the logo designs so far. To me even a pile of coal would look great compared to the stuff I'd ever throw together.

How 'bout this..?
The W is titled a bit more to the right, giving a feeling of a greek E like 'Eureka' :P

Wedge logo22 's perfect NAO..

Keep everything the same except rotate wedges 90 deg to vert position. 

Kind of like LIVE 627 's concept...Maybe play round with fonts but keep same colors as in logo22 - alter wedges in lives so their not 3D.

We seem to be in a situation where there are too many new logo concepts, and each of the new concepts has got its fans, but no consensus whatsoever... Am I right? ;)
