I am currently working on my themeclub lol, so I haven't worked anymore on this. But didn't you opt for your own logo version/favicon..?
Anyway, since I absolutely need a good-lookin' favicon, I was waiting for your own ;)
| 1. | The cog logo I made, as well as the slightly monochromatic "wedge text with a wedge extruded out of it" which, I must admit, I made by accident ah ah... |
Bump for opinions on the logos so far...?

I have lost track what logo are we talking about, maybe list the ones you particularly like

Bumping for logo opinions. Maybe after all this time, you've all gotten to a point where you have a favorite?
Does the current logo in the header suit you fine or not?

Works fine for me.

Maybe I should make the wedge itself a bit brighter...
And I realize I made a typo in the slogan, it should be "Time to DIE, smf". Sorry about that one!

And, despite what your gf thinks, red is nice! (Mostly)

People could think it's a space shuttle or whatever, I don't care ahah.
Anyway, anyone's free to submit logos... But we're close to going public so I suppose it'd be nicer to select from the already existing ones that Bloc and I submitted... As a temp logo at least.

Space shuttle. That was an awesome one.
You mentioned your favourite logo that you showed to your gf... I liked it a lot.

Anyway -- made a quick mockup and I'm happy with it. It may not be very original, but it works...

Could we maybe have the short list of what ones are a possibility. I don't really like the current one the slogan is hard to read and I am not sure about the wedge thing in the logo :hmm: :eheh:

live, my current favorites (and been for a while) are:
- the one below the one you linked.... :^^;: http://wedge.org/up/6271/logo-madness-was-new-revs/msg249986/#msg249986
- first in this list: http://wedge.org/up/6271/logo-madness-was-new-revs/msg249970/#msg249970 (I also like the last one, although a bit less.)
It's hard to make a choice, isn't it?
The slogan's readability is only due to it being too long to warrant a big font size, ah ah...
I could just say "Wake up, SMF" but it would then be too short I think (?), or "Time to die, SMF" but people would beg to differ :P
As for a shortlist... Well, I guess I can do that at some point.

How about "a new era" or something like that? does it have to be so "in-your-face"?
"A new era" is kinda boring (and cliché, if you'll allow my use of an accent, eheh.)
It's a given, really. SMF2 Gold will be out soon, and forks will be coming from everywhere (or not). Wedge will be old news in a month.
As for "in your face", I don't think this slogan can be described that way... On the contrary, it's relatively friendly: we're suggesting that SMF wakes up if they don't want to be forgotten soon. It's also suggesting that WE're in the process of making it wake up.
I don't really know of any 'uppercut' slogan that would be cool to use.
It's that, or rely on more politically correct slogans, like "WE are living/coding on the EDGE". Boring, too... Dunno.
I really liked "SMF for real men", but apparently it was seen as too sexist. :lol:
I know you didn't like it looking like a sign or foreign letter or something,
Just like "Pokémon" is a misspelling. It's just Pokemon. The accent being there to hint on pronounciation. Then again, Americans usually don't bother with spelling. I never understood why they insist on spelling the city of Marseille as "Marseilles". Uh. It's never had an "s" at the end... Just because Paris, Nîmes or Nantes have an s doesn't mean we have cities like Lyons, Lilles, Strasbourgs or Nices... Ah well.
but imho it lends a bit of mystique to it. Placing the wedge IN the logo def. do not wok, it looks forced and obscures the letters.
If anything the wedge should just blend in with one of the letters or something. But you decide of course.
Otherwise I'd have chosen my fave logo long ago and closed this topic. :P
A logo is an identity. Wedge is We. I don't get to decide alone for everything -- I don't want to, either.
Unrelated: you may have noticed I was working on the header background (rather than logo) in the last hour... I think I've reached a point I like. It looks cool and it makes the logo stand out, as opposed to the earlier background which was a bit too much. (It used to be good, for the very first logo, because that one was pure black so it did stand out.)
Basically, all public and common places have a blue background, while the private area has a golden background. Just so you remember easily where you're posting :)
