I think I'm getting to it...

Previous one:

New one:

What do you think, guys?
If I may make a small suggestion -- The shape/style colours etc are all great, but there's one little thing that's bothering me.

It doesn't 'pop' very much.  Particularly with the darker themes. There's a hint of a whisper of a bevel, but maybe a little stronger might help.  (A brighter white on the upper edging)

Possibly.
I'm thinking we could use the wedge triangular shape anywhere we need a logo but don't want to use the 'wedge' title.

Also, I'd be interested in resuming work on the logo. I liked Bloc's view of a purely monochrome logo the other day, even though I'd never been excited with the idea. I also still like the crossing line, and I'm not too fond of the upper part of the 'd' (it's too lifeless.) I'm good with the current logo (it really whips the llama's ass™), but it doesn't mean it can't be improved.

I don't know if the triangle itself is Wedge-y enough to represent the project on it's own.  Perhaps if the 'w' is projected onto one of the sides...

There's lots of things to try with the 'd'.  It could be taller, shorter, narrower, distorted (triangle-ish), chopped or added to at the top.  The trick would be to keep it subtle enough to not look corny.  :P

Working with me too long has rubbed off on you, eh, that things can always be improved? :P

I dunno, I'm actually really happy with the logo as it is (without the caption)

Well we're always open to logo ideas :)
The current one is a joint collaboration between me and Bloc.

No problems with linking websites. Actually nothing is prevented for now around here. (Except for friends to discuss anything they saw mentioned in the Private area. But that's a given.)

I used the opportunity to move the Logo Madness topic to this place. It's the huge topic where we exchanged ideas -- just make sure to read it thoroughly if you don't want to reinvent the wheel ;)

Basically, we don't NEED a new logo, because we all love the current one. But we're not closed to other ideas, either! Doing this logo was a lot of fun (hopefully it was for Bloc too... Or at least not too unpleasant :^^;:), and I don't see why we can't keep up like that.
Just in passing -- regarding size, this is the biggest we could afford. And we have a small (75x30) version of the logo that I like even better (it doesn't have the slogan and the stylized wedge/ship/triangle picture behind the logo.) I don't like it better because of the lack of these elements, but because I don't enjoy logos that take the whole screen, if you know what I mean. Small is beautiful.

Split topic and merged posts to the right one.

Here is one, kinda a joke really. "Wedging" SMF...

I need to make the "W" more smoother though.

I want a Times New Roman logo with animated flowers coming out of it. So 1996! :niark:

Not to add in any opinions (too many chefs in the kitchen and all that), but I find it kind of amusing that the colors that you ended up going with for the logo are the colors that were mentioned for the public/private sections. :P
