you can draw similies from just about every shape.
I was looking at it and seeing a bent wedge to the shape of a tick/check - that kind of amused me.

Oh look - a cats arse when its lying down > Oo

I'd rather have you guys clearly state you don't like the latest icons, instead of offering new ones... That'd be clearer at least. (And how come did we spend months without a single suggestion, and suddenly there are plenty when I'm settled on the logo? :whistle:)

 1. Yes, I know it's not quite the right size but there isn't a way of adding font-variant:small-caps here.

lol I don't know why I thought you were asking for a new one as I liked this one and this is why I cannot get it. However with that said I have come up with the ultimate one for you.





Ooops ok I will stop now  :whistle:  :eheh:

Trivia: in the French version, there's a translator's note about the fact that La Mort (Death) has a female name: "La mort est un mâle. Un mâle nécessaire".
That pun is worthy of Pratchett's actually :P
(Ask me if you need a translation!)

@DirtRider> Nah, I'm not closed to suggestions but as I said, I'd rather they stay in the same area as we have now: the two triangles, subtle font...

@Anyone> Any favorites in the few versions I posted above? (Feel free to say your favorite font is in one while your favorite font color is in another and your favorite logo angle is in yet another...)

Its not that I hate you have atm, its that it just isnt dynamic enough for *me*.
The only one who can decide on a logo for your forum is you, am I right?

I was fiddling around and ended up with that shape and thought I would throw it into the ring.
Cheers

Personally, I like the one that breaks the layout above there, with the fatter lettering but I'm thinking maybe the font should be lighter compared to how that one has it, because it doesn't really stand out from the pale background here. (The mostly/completely white with shadow look would suit it, IMO)

It's not just a logo for the forum. It's for the software too, because it'll probably end up bundled in some form or another...


:EDIT: And of course once the Wedge logo is settled, I'm going to be out looking for a WedgeDesk logo :whistle: :lol:

I don't get a word of what you're trying to say... :^^;:
Which logo(s) are you talking about? Please mention them by order (#1-#5) or IMG them into your posts... :^^;:

Yeah. The shape, at least-- I'm considering using it as an (unlinked?) signature, much like WordPress blogs have a WP favicon at the bottom by default.

Well you can built on the Wedge logo, obviously... I don't know if the obvious 'drawer/desk' imagery would be adequate for a logo, though. Maybe using different colors for the logo or something...?


Okay, Pete, are you telling me you want a font that's light than Coolvetica? I thought you liked fat fonts :P
So, now everyone likes square better than skewed? (I prefer squared for its professional look but skewed certainly makes a 'difference', too.)

The reason I didn't link it is because I wasn't sure it'd stay being the one it is.

The one I like is the one in post 585, with the two triangles almost completely aligned, with the weightier text. My concern was that the text might not stand out enough on pale backgrounds like the body of a post - like above.

I like the font as it is, it doesn't need to change weight, it just needs to change colour.

You like nice-skewed in particular or my latest logos in general, like the header one? :whistle:
The latest logo's are in my opinion definitly so far the best you made.
Personaly I like the grafics part of:


and the letter part of:


Oké mayby a bit lighter in color, but not to much.
