It's clearly not based on 2012, after all, there's no cartoon character giving head if you squint at it.

I didn't tell you which cartoon character it was, especially since the character in question is 'technically' a minor :o

:lol:

It's clean, and has a certain minimalist elegance about it that some of the other logos haven't, but I've personally grown fond of actually having the |> type shape in there somewhere.

It's a nice logo, but I think it's lacking something. The logos that are purely typographical (Microsoft for example) are distinctive in other ways like using a unique font, or that odd looking chip out of the O.[1]

No problem. Just a little logo I made in about 5 minutes. Seems I got the logo madness myself.  :eheh:

Logo madness is good :) And me, I'm just a miserable critic, not having attempted a logo myself yet ;)

A few of my recent attempts... I didn't think they were worthy of being posted, but what the hell -- you don't have to comment anyway :P
(First one is best viewed on a darker background, obviously...)
:edit: Added a darker background on it.
