Wedge

The left one.

I prefer the left one, too, yeah. You've made some changes to it, compared to the one in the header, right? I like it.

Left :)

left indeed

Left.

Odd.

I say right (mainly because of the font and the lightness of it all), and my girlfriend, who's my toughest critic (you wouldn't believe the things she can say :P), says right as well... :unsure:

How odd. I like both but prefer the left too - but I wonder how much of that is my internal 'don't want change' instinct kicking in...

Maybe is that. I also like the left better but maybe because I am already used to see those colours.

I can see what you want to do with the right one though, but what I like less there is the colour of the background.

Have you tried with other backgrounds?

Not You? ???   :lol:

First choice the original one. Looks great on my solid black background.
Second choice the one on the left above.
The one on the right above? Meh. Although it might look OK on a different background.

Yes, even me :P Fact is, we all have an in-built anti-change mechanism, it's something that isn't within our comfort zone, etc.

Yeah, everyone gets cold feet when it's about leaving the comfort zone...Even with a dark background?
It really sucks to me...But the background is *Wine*... It's the footer! :^^;:

The entire point of changing the logo, is that I don't see why it should be in the header, where logos for the custom site should be, not logos for generic software... Only problem is, Wine has a darker background in the footer, and our current logo sucks on it.

Another mockup with similar palette to the current logo, and a gradient effect. (Now it reminds me of old 16-bit demo fonts :P)

:edit: Added another, with more greenish colors.. The 'd' is kinda screwed up, though.

Of the three I think that new one's my favourite :edit: by which I mean the one with the brown (?wine) background.

But really you should go with what you (and your girlfriend) think - art by committee is never a good idea!

Art by committee is not a good idea, but neither is staying in your ivory tower, impervious to the real world.
I've never let 'majority' dictate my behavior, but I've certainly been influenced by it.
