First result was Wikipedia's, which was correctly attributed ;)

BTW Bjorn, I'm seriously waiting for our feedback on the Skeleton topic... ;)
I'll sleep over the logo thing. If you feel like it, can you try seeing what it gives when trying to do a circle with a wedge like you did, but the wedge is thinner and penetrates the entire width of the circle? And possibly using the same orientation as on my square logo ;)
PS: Coolvetica works wonder in full size. Not so much in small size like in the footer here... I dunno.

First thing to do when you wanna quote something: you google the sentence and you try to find out whether everyone agrees on the source... :whistle:

I also like brown a lot... So it's a shared taste. I usually associate it with green khaki though, and this blue thing was mostly an homage to Bloc's original ship design. (It was too dark compared to his own blue though.)
And it happened to work nicely... So I didn't even try the khaki variant.
Trying out is good. However at the current point I don't know if I'm not going to go crazy if we start from scratch again... :P
I've updated the header with the 'final' logo, i.e. what I'd *personally* like to settle on. I've tried so many variations, my pic file now weighs 5MB (!!!), when it was at 250KB 24 hours ago... The logo I see now makes me at least go, "wow, this looks like a professional product". I'm only asking for that at this point... :^^;:
Time for bed. Can't believe I spent yet another day on the logo!

Bjorn, it's nicely done but I did a similar design last year, a bit busier but it didn't excite anyone. :-/

I fought for many years for this kind of thing. Until I understood that kids don't get it until they actually get someone else to steal their writings.

Just trying another.
:edit: nope, the text is too dark... It's either black or white, really.
The slogan works well, though. I used it a few months ago and then forgot about it.
I like that it actually says what Wedge does to non-SMF users, i.e. people who didn't follow our history.
:edit: Forgot to say I also made the logo slightly brighter. I like these colors a bit better but I'd rather know how to actually change the colors without adding a stylize effect... :P

All right.
Do you guys prefer the skewed or straight-square version? Regardless of the font etc.

Not a big fan of Frutiger's fonts myself (even though he used to live next door to me... Well, before I was born of course :P). I'm more of the Matteson school.
Anyway-- details later, now I'd like to know how everyone feels about the generic idea.

Too bad it's not free, though...
I mean, 25MB isn't exactly much. I've been on gmail only for a couple of years, and I already have at least 500MB of e-mails on it. I switched to gmail precisely so I wouldn't have to delete all of my e-mails as they're read and answered, especially the ones with attachments...

Back to Coolvetica... Here's a version where the wedge actually broke the mould (:P), and the right side of the shape is now aligned with the left slope of the 'w' in 'wedge'.
Put it into the header. I change the text opacity to 50% because I'm a wuss and 80% was already too much for me... :lol: (Probably 65 or 70% would be best.)

It lacks originality, though... And the wedge (i.e. the wedge mask) is a bit too subtle. It should be a tad wider.
I think I preferred the earlier version with the very small blue triangle, maybe I can find a good compromise between the two.
I guess at this point I can also ask for everyone else's opinions on the shape. I can attach the svg or ai version if you want.
