Can we do some serious logo'ing now? :niark:
The one below is still closest to what I'm looking for... I made the wedge a bit brighter to make it stand on a black background. Still not happy with it entirely.

I can look at that but I got to say I am not thrilled over the "SMF for real men" it has negative connotation to it :hmm: Also the W may be a bit of a challenge to get it to really pop
Just a few others that I quickly put together. Also if you are looking at a possible dark theme then the grey and black would be lost

So far I like Wedge Logo 2e.png it's just a bit different to what you would normally see. However you really need to see how it looks when it is up to get a better idea of where we are going with it

I am still not into this "SMF for real men" thing. You are probably excluding half (females) the population and pissing off another third (will leave this one up to you imagination) :lol:

Nao did explain where that came from, I'm tempted to suggest it should be "SMF for anti-hypocrits" or similar :P

Well, my girlfriend suggested we look at the font on condom packets, on the theory that that's for real men!

That "wedge" like image inside the w...I think Adonis made something earlier which i liked: a slight bevel on it.
Font-types..how would you describe how you want wedge to look to the outside world? Your Yanom-kaffe font now suggest stability, but maybe a bit on the safe side. Should it be a bit more "risky"? Harder corners, suggesting a more agressive tone, "I want to go somewhere" kind of attitude?
If you just need to know the tone... I personally prefer a serious logo and second degree humour everywhere else. I find that silly logos can be off-putting to people, they need to feel a sense of professionalism on their first visit, and then they need a bit of fun when they stay around.
I was thinking, maybe we should drop the entire "wedge inside the w" thing...
Maybe keep the "w" in a different color, like the current wedgeo version -- have the wedgeo logo, and add a very, very slight white bevel around it (near sub-pixel?), and then we'll think of a logo to put next to it.
I'm thinking, since everyone loves a round logo and I've never done that... And we're looking into the possibility of calling blogs "wedges"...
Anyway -- made a quick mockup and I'm happy with it. It may not be very original, but it works...

Ask Pete if you need directions
Seriously though, the direction we're going for with Wedge is the 'I want to go somewhere' tone. Not the slightly wishy-washy trying to please everyone tone that I felt with the SMF stuff. We are not trying to cater to all things, we are not trying to be the tool for every occasion.
