So... Which is best?

:edit: HA! Updated the poll! :lol:
Where's the "PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST PICK ONE ALREADY" option in that poll? :eheh:

Placed my vote and discovered I was with the majority (which was nice).

I've updated the minilogo.png file (which is used in many signatures here) to use the final font face (it was close enough, but not the exact one). Also, the logo itself was different from the final one, so I updated it to match the one in our team badges. Finally, I played with font colors. I've settled for an entirely black font for now, because I'm not sure it's that useful to have so many color codes in the logo+font... (at least not when WEDGE is not associated with another word, like in our badge.)

   -- current one
:edit: removed the old logos.

Opinions? :)

And by opinion I mean, do you prefer the new one or the alternative (bi-color) one?

:edit: Removed the old logo -- don't want Google to try and index it for too long...

I like both (hence the like :P) but the single colour writing works better, I think.

Well, right now I'm wondering if the relative success of Wuthering in the poll could be due to my using Segoe UI in it..?
Maybe if I changed it to Arial and I set Segoe UI here, we'd see a vote reversal immediately.

My #1 issue with Segoe is that it looks too Appleish to me these days...  :lol:
Oh, did you see the new Microsoft logo BTW? lol, probably the least innovative logo I've seen in years! Segoe UI + 4 solid color boxes! Woot!
Heck, and *I* am never happy with my logos! I stopped bothering you guys with my new tries, but I've still made tons, especially this week... See my favorite attempt of earlier today. (It's a bit small but I'm too tired to take time to upload a bigger version. It's not like I'm going to use it here anyway...)

:edit: Actually I had one around :P

I like both but I've become somewhat used to the one on the right.

Eh, as I said, I already know the answer :P

:edit:
Main problem with the one on the right is that without the text, there's no association with the word Wedge.
The one on the left implies both 'W' and 'E', depending on the position of your head ;)
