Mine: myriad (first one), vetica. Then I find myriadbold acceptable and the rest leaves me relatively cold.

Don't bother with the font, I tried with Tahoma (lol) and didn't think of resetting the font before saving. I'm really thinking of either Helvetica or Myriad for it anyway. I also forgot to remove the slogan for the small version.

Here's as far as I can go when trying to (1) have a professional logo, (2) give a hint of an actual wedge. I had to play with rescaling and I'm not sure it's best... But I like the end result.

The favicon, though, is a bit dull. Dunno if it'd been better with any other shape anyway...!

Fastmail is the one owned by Opera. Right? ;)

It looks too generic when not disjointed, and I wanted to have the feeling of a puzzle game being assembled.

Let's put the shape aside for now and concentrate on the font.
Here's a selection from the ones I like most (or I feel you'll like most, for some.)

I really want a logo, in the sense that we have a small abstract image that can stand for the project.
It's like a Rorschach picture, you don't need to say what it stands for, it can create images of its own. Well, at least for me. Just like the 'ship' logo made me think of a spaceship and made others think of a pyramid, while it could also stand for a wedge...

Anyway. Here's another try with the logo resized to match the font size. As you can see, I played with the two pieces of the shape to give another result.

The good thing here is that the magic of logo positioning makes it possible to change the font without any impact on the abstract logo ;)

Looking forward to feedback from Bjorn and CJ, too.

Norodo -- I never liked Garamond. Too busy a font for me ;)
Heck, even the Firefox font works better.

The good thing is that you can compare both installs, then report any bugs or missing imports, and then redo the import ;)

Oh... If only for my archaeologist side, I'd like to retain all thoughts, yes. It's not like they take much space... ;)

I'll rewrite thoughts for Wedge but if I do the conversion these days, I'll have to reuse my current code which isn't too solid... :P

I'll be adding options to 'like the like', 'like the dislike', 'dislike the like', 'dislike the dislike', 'thank the like for disliking the dislike', 'dislike the thank for liking the thank for disliking', and of course the mandatory one, 'I'd love to say something generic but I can't bother to type so I'll just click this generic button that doesn't say anything special.'
