Wedge

Concur..and surrender~!

Nerds are cool, you know why.....women adore them! > I know I'm digressing a little but I'm also keen on Seinfeld. George an Kramer are absolutely hilarious.

Seems to me that the underlying issue with all this stems from peoples DIFFERENCES OF OPINION in all areas of development / management. Resulting in feelings of rejection, questions of self worth, challenges of ego, beliefs that one persons ideas are far better than another's and so on. And the fact that no resolve is possible purely because you simply cant please everyone!

And the fact that there is no real mechanism that's in place to ensure things are being handled so as to foster enthusiasm and @ the same time provide the necessary timelines or goals that are generally seen to be prerequisites for any operation either small or large.

Having to cater for everyone's whim is one thing that SMF is stuck with and it becomes infinitely harder as the team expands whereas in Wedges case less people result in fewer clashes of opinion. Things can be discussed and resolved in a timely fashion without encountering the red tape and personality clashes that are prevalent in a larger scale operation.

I'm doing as much as I can by reading all these posts - If I can contribute in any way I will.

Ha Ha. > Sounds like your in the wrong business - Should be in pest extermination of some sort...real job real doe - "Only kidding Nate"

Nyrrr...Ditch the Sansation and use the typeface similar to Eras as used in W logo. It will match what you have done in the Warm skin. A tad more vertical spacing between logo and wedge lettering.

Hi Nao,

Logos they’re time consuming, but fun nonetheless. I commented on colouring of option1 logo in latest poll for two reasons.

1.   I believe it’s something the majority of people overlook when dabbling in theme or logo design. It’s every bit as important as the layout itself and has the potential of either encapsulating the whole presentation giving it a CRISP overall look or conversely, to provide ones work with an air of blandness with no appeal @ all.
 
2.    The chosen colours are FLAT first and foremost; they’re bold but not overstated and actually compliment your themes appearance in more ways you could imagine.

The simple white backdrop in my view emphasises the plain or FLAT colours of the image more so than your latest logos, providing the one I have chosen with more presence which is what should be happening. The use of filters is `noise’ and can be done without.

The logo I have selected would work on dark backgrounds as in lower left footer area and equally as well on lighter shades throughout the theme particularly @ the top as a main image. It’s neutral, it’s SIMPLE and as pointed out can be used anywhere even as a background to your favicon BUT without rounded corners. They’re not needed. There seems to be a tendency toward complicating the other examples through use of filters. Keeping it simple through use of plain colouring is subtle but very effective. It also lends itself to reproduction should you require business cards T shirts, whatever -  images would be produced with greater clarity than logos with shades of varying degrees.

Nao How about you install option 1  in all three places favicon,header and footer and see the result? - Not bad eh,  ditch the rounded corners in favicon though. Plain colours on white right!

As for the newest creation I’m not a fan of it tbh. Just not fond of the styling or the W the way it is although it is more synonymous of the wedge brand than the one we’re discussing. Maybe truncated W is the answer? Viz...   \|/ Wedge...Simple remember!

The issue I had with my preferred logo was that the two wedge type images above the text didn’t really capitalize enough on the Wedge name. It somehow got lost in the translation but if you were searching for a more abstract feel that s entirely your prerogative. Maybe I’m wrong and abstract was the way to go?
 

Again, do what you like with this Pete, but from my perspective I imposed a 2 post count restriction on new members and it caused nothing but confusion so reinstated to zero. I feel you should lay out the welcome mat for newbys not an obstacle course. make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get going as quickly as possible.
