I like Bloc's the best, it's tighter, the slogan gives balance to the overall logo, and I like the hint of a wedge between the W and the E, I would actually make it more pronounced, just a tiny bit.

?

Both logos are Bloc's...
I just reordered the stuff between each.
As for the "hint of a wedge" (I didn't see it that way... You mean like my extruded logo?), it's going to be in the final logo anyway, whatever we choose.

I meant the one that we are using in the frontpage, not the one we see here, and yes I meant the extruded logo, looks like a thin wedge to me :)

There are two logos in use on the banner, please re-read this topic's latest pages... :whistle:
As for the extruded logo, it was rejected by the majority so I gave up on it...

Yes, I was referring exclusively to the blue one, the one for public areas.  It has the slogan on top, rather than underneath, I think it makes it rounder, more compact.
Well, for the extruded logo, I guess I can live without that, it's a nice touch tough.

Didn't you say the contrary a few days ago?

dannbass, can you please link to the extruded logo you're talking about?

Of course! isn't it a beauty? has balance, I like how the "really" is after the "d" to reiterate, the spacing gives a pause... like, REALLY, get it, it's simple math!!

Yes, I like that too, but I think I would make the d longer, like the original, or just a tiny bit, or maybe not, you are the designer :) to me a longer d serves as the center and gives me the illusion of a triangle, just a hint.

I agree with you, I just think you didn't understand me, here is what I was referring to, I like the longer d because of this.

The actual triangle-shaped symbol can be used as a extra illustrative item in other contexts perhaps.
Oh man, I thought you meant the symbol that you took out :lol:
I like it with the slogan on top, now the d seems naked :-/

Alright... alone in the dark then... that poor d... lol
I don't like so much the displacement of the slogan, but it's just me, it seems that the g now has a prominent spot, that's where my eyes were drawn first.  From the two variations on this page I prefer the first one, but my ultimate favorite is your first one, with the slogan on top.

I'm rather upset, because I like those new offerings (the stylised 'g', mainly), but I can't find a way to exploit them.
I recolorized them (see hue settings two pages ago), resized them to have the size I need (75% H/80% V), and no... Nothing. Doesn't strike me as better than the current homepage logo. :-/

Logo design is art! (That's my lesson for today :lol:)

That, maybe?
(Yeah, the 'g' shouldn't have the loop come back to the left at the bottom. It should stop there, just a bit further than Bloc's concept of it.)

Meant something like that. (Below below.)

Slogan suggestion: "Simple math, for you." Has the SMF pun, means it's simply math for users to choose it (and complex math for us to handle), and the comma would indicate that there's geeky features on one side, and user comfort on the other side.
Of course it's all a lie but that's what marketing is for :P
