Even if someone notices the one on the left's W and E, that doesn't necessarily say "Wedge". For either it's just a question of publicity - a certain tick means Nike, a certain green means Harrods... Give it 6 months and even Amazonian tribes will recognise the one on the right's graphic :eheh:

Or maybe they'll recognize the one on the left the same way ;)

I'm still making tests internally. My current version has an additional drop shadow, distorts the lines and is a monochrome logo. It's... Interesting.

My favorite of today's batch... Pretty much what I described above, except without the monochrome aspect.

Main problem with the one on the right is that without the text, there's no association with the word Wedge.
The one on the left implies both 'W' and 'E', depending on the position of your head ;)
Or "M"...don't know why but "M" is the first letter that comes to my mind when I look at it.
And in terms of color it reminds of: http://socialeyezer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/stumbleupon.jpg (neither a good or a bad thing ;))

That logo is too busy for my taste :P

Okay, I've uploaded the latest concept to the homepage and, to my own surprise, it seems to work well... (I'm using the Wine skin, though. Maybe it helps.)

How come I don't notice it? It should be on the header, correct?

You have to switch to French to switch the logo. This was an oversight on my part.

I like the text and logo box on the new logo and it does look very sexy on Wine, and looks nice on Weaving aswell. I like the logo on the English page as well, though think I would like it better if it was laid out more like the new one. Anyway great work on both!
Thank you,
Boko

(Updated the French page logo again... Fixed the small bug in the middle of the W shape, and freed the W from masking, thus covering the Wedge text as well. An interesting result. I should really move this to the Logo madness topic...)

Okay, split the topic...

Oh, interesting layout bug caused by Lorenzo's blurb... Hmm.
It's actually due to his text reaching the internal limit of 255 bytes. Could be fixed either by better cropping or increasing the blurb size. What do you think..?

This is the same discussion that's been going on for a few days now... I just moved it to the proper place. What's the problem?

You don't have to be torn...

1/ Right now, the official logo is the current one (the one in my signature and yours, etc), the other one is just a test.
2/ I'm not going to choose a final logo before the gold release -- and even then, I can always use a new one later. After all, maybe someone will come up with a better one ;)
3/ I only split the topic into this one because it's what we're talking about. Right now we're discussing new logos, we're not trying to determine if the new one is better. (I only added it to the poll for fun, but as you can see I didn't change my vote and I'm not expecting anyone to...)

Isn't for me.

Some pages will be screwed if they have MultiformeIngegno's posts on them, though -- I pointed out elsewhere that there was a problem with the hardcoded size of blurb elements that could result in breaking the HTML.
