The tagline is a bit strange, what is the meaning behind it?

Really? Is it that hard to understand? The pun or the actual meaning?

Maybe it's a cultural barrier or something.

"It's simple math" means "It's up to you but it shouldn't be too hard to decide."
That, and the pun on Simple Math / Simple Machines.

I'm just saying that you don't NEED to make anything for us, we have everything you need and we're happy with everything we have (be it graphics, concepts or code), but if you have something better to suggest we're not going to stop you ;)
The least we could do is listen.

I think I'm getting to it...

Previous one:



New one:

I like only one part of the old logo better and that is the little white line removed from the word. I like the line because it makes the logo "pop" a bit more. I wish the fist e's curve would lead into the d's curve better because I really like how the d and g work together.

None of the above really matters though I like the logo, I would love it if the wedge itself didn't feel washed out. No idea how to fix that though. If the wedge looked different (Like I said no idea how to fix it I just know it doesn't feel right) it could be used itself as a great branding tool where the whole logo doesn't make sense.
Thank you,
Boko

Just read through the pages of the topic -- all of the different elements were posted at some point in here.
I also argued against the line (although I do think it looks great. But please read my explanation.)

I'm growing unsatisfied with the current logo. Although it's really good, I wanted to try for more simplicity in terms of shades. I used the opportunity to give a try to PT Sans, a current favorite of mine, and just build upon that with a strike-through line (similar to what Bloc suggested but applied to the entire width), and again two different colors, but this time across the entire logo, rather than on the 'w'.

What do you think?
It's only a MOCKUP, it's not something 'definitive', I'm just trying to explore other ways of showing the logo...

:edit: I'm not saying I like it best. It simply fixes my current issues with the letter 'd' in our official logo, as well as with the shades of green on the letter 'g' (it's too bright compared to the rest). Also, the new logo is optimized for dark backgrounds. Its dark background could even be part of the logo, I don't know...

If you don't like the top of the "d" you could go for small caps.

In the current one I could envision a transparent background with a slight bevel applied and just a hint of a soft drop shadow. Maybe make the line the orange used elsewhere with some kind of design (a slight burst of some kind) at one end of line. Feel free to tell me to keep quiet too. :eheh:

What I like about lowercase is that it's non-aggressive... Friendlier than uppercase.

Okay since the mockup isn't very successful, I've resorted to adding a white shadow behind the original logo.
I find it still barely readable... And adding a bigger glow will make it look silly.

Yeah, after seeing something with the all caps I agree the lower case is better.

I think the white shadow doesn't work very well for something that small. I like the original a little better.
