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

rev 1269
(4 files, 2kb)
* Quotenazi. (Class-Editor.php)
* PM rule descriptions should put more emphasis on the and/or switch, so I'm setting it to bold instead of italics. (PersonalMessage.language.php)
! Auto-suggest dropdown wasn't removed when using the Backspace key on an entry with three characters. This was due to an incorrect 'this' reference in the setTimeout call. (suggest.js)

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

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).

rev 1268
(2 files, 1kb)
! Fixed the thought editor bug mentioned in the last commit. Code is also a bit tighter now... (script.js)
* 800ms is a tiny bit too much for gallery animations, I'd say... Yeah, I need to apply that to other areas too. (zoomedia.js)

rev 1267
(9 files, 9kb)
+ Added a section tag around all sidebar blocks. Although it's not 'mandatory' per se, it'd be good practice to separate sidebar blocks semantically, in case it has to be shown horizontally.[1] (Admin.template.php, Display.template.php, GenericMenu.template.php, index.template.php, InfoCenter.template.php, Media.template.php, MessageIndex.template.php)
! Avoid generating confusing PHP 'undefined index' errors when doing improper CSS nesting. This really calls for a error handler to be implemented, but for now I think I'd rather have the skin author get a 'visual' hint that they made a mistake (i.e. incorrect styles) than a PHP error, which they're not always likely to notice. (Class-CSS.php)
! Forgot (it seems to be my most common mistake?) the semi-colons on the surroundText/replaceText method reintroductions. Also optimized more code. (editor.js)
! Wysiwyg editor no longer worked in IE6 and IE7. (editor.js)
@ Note: it STILL doesn't work properly, i.e. focus is broken, like my infamous iframe-less rewrite... Looks like this has been the case for some time, though, actually even before I started the rewrite.
@ Note: the thought editor seems to disappear in some situations. I'll get to that.

Why did you have to take my 'joke' logo as your basis... :lol: (see filename)

« on January 22nd, 2012, 11:44 PM »I actually figured that out before you got to explain it, heh. But yeah, it's hard to unseat that one!
)(Distantiate isn't a word. The word you're after here is 'distance', which is one of those awesome words that's both a verb and a noun.)
The font's nice - I'm not seeing a problem with the size, I see more problem with trying to read that green against the background (the 'we' is fine)
'Sober' is definitely carried through on both 22 and 23 and I'm getting the 'wedge' vibe from it, but more from 22 than 23; the brown just doesn't quite have the weight to it that the blue does.
What do you think about wedge24 and wedge26..? (Just added them.)
Posted: January 22nd, 2012, 11:08 AM
Bump, added wedge272. I also have another variation under work. It's fun. Definitely more fun than this week wasted on the wysiwyg editor... :whistle:
Posted: January 22nd, 2012, 07:18 PM
Added another sample, this time in both sizes (large and small).
Should I assume that the lack of feedback is due to no one being interested in that direction...? Or should I just change something, like the color palette or something..?

rev 1266
(2 files, 4kb)
* Dozens of size optimizations. Really, that's all there is to this commit... Still, it's a lot of changes and I need to commit them separately. (editor.js)
- Removed bRTL parameter from editor -- using document's HTML dir instead. (editor.js, Class-Editor.php)

rev 1265
(2 files, 1kb)
* Simplified editor resizing code. document.mousemove() works perfectly across all browsers I tested, even if hovering the iframe. Which totally makes sense... Also, I didn't see why it should cancel the resizing process if trying to resize to zero height. Wedge will simply set a minimum height for the editor. And finally, removed the default resizers in Chrome and the latest Firefoxes, through CSS. (editor.js, editor.css)
- Removed rev 1264's iframe height hack, as it didn't actually work, even in Opera. A momentary lapse of reason. (editor.js)
- Removed a few unused variables and function names. (editor.js)

« on January 21st, 2012, 10:52 AM »16 I like. The boldness of the text seems to counter my usual 'block of stone' view of densely package capitals. Colouring is nice, it's not overstated.
Oh, Worg is the codename for the new skin, it's just 'Wedge.org'...
17 I like too, though to decide if the first E looks like it's tilted slightly, it seems out of line compared to the other letters.
What matters here is that... How to say it. I think Wedge needs a font that's both 'original' and 'classic'. Most successful logos try to distantiate themselves from Helvetica & co fonts, yet remain very basic to be both readable and not stand out too much. (Why does my spell-checker complain on the word 'distantiate'....? Doesn't that word exist in English? What should it be? Push themselves further away, or something...?)
I currently focus my work on Lato, which I found on Google Fonts. See the attached pic.
18 is nice. Carries the effect of the wedge. Not sure about the green, and I'm getting a slightly 'vague' feeling about it. It's as though it's not wanting to commit to things a bit (like how I feel right now)
20 I'm not so keen on. There's too much background, not enough foreground and it just looks like two triangles in a big space; there's no 'wedge' feeling about it.
I made something in between 18 and 20 -- what do you think? Also went for 'as sober as possible' by getting rid of the nice little gradient effects, and choosing a more primary color. Maybe a bit too 'strong', though...
:edit: And another font I like... Sansation Bold. I realize it's a bit small to distinguish the letters and all, but you can always look it up ;)
