I don't think it is really so bad that you would not notice it or be able to read it really

In the footer, what does it look like if you just use the image (wedges) no text? I ask because it would be nice to know how it "feels" representing the brand alone.
Thank you,

Don't worry, I've been working on the favicon and it works well as an actual logo... :)
Better than most other logos. Okay, not PERFECTLY maybe, but still well.

I was sorting through all of my old tests, and really, one of my favorites by far, as a stand-alone shape, along with the current one, has to be --

I don't know, I just liked the font + 'puzzle' shape combination for that one, too ;) I also liked the fact that the blue triangle fit exactly the text height (same position, same height), and the brown triangle fit the height of the 'd' and 'g' together. Also, I tried removing the font and it was still quite distinctive. Still, it's not exactly something that's poll-worthy. Is it...?

tl:dr, as a square shape, it doesn't work as well in the Wedge software footer, for instance, like the ship design did. I've replaced it with a reduced logo with a plain 'wedge' next to it, and it works great. Once brand awareness is old enough, I suppose we can start doing the shape-only thing more ;)

lol, right when I'm finished with my logo commit, I come back here and find these posts... :lol:
Where were you guys when I posted it and asked for feedback? :P

Anyway, if Pete vetoes it, I can't do much about it. I'll still look into making a proper poll between the two.

No veto :P

And for the very first time since I started the add-on manager and you with the block changes, I actually have an edit conflict to resolve in Load.php (which is quite amazing given that you've made major changes and I've made quite a few of my own in there...)

Added a poll...
First option is the 'old' logo that suddenly got popular :P
Second option is the same with the new logo's font.
Third option is the old logo's font with the new logo's shape.
Third option is the new logo.

(BTW, the 'old' logo (the non-square puzzle one) is slightly darker and I'll definitely make it a bit brighter in the final version if we choose it.)

I like #2 better but I'll consider myself a strategic voter and vote for #1 because it looks more likely to win.
