Another attempt but I don't think it will shine off well on a bright background, but dark no problem.

Well it looks a bit like the 'Milky Way' chocolate bar logo, come to think of it... :lol:

CJs #414 looks really good.

What about "Helvetica Neue LT Pro 45 Light"?

EDIT: The great thing about the light version, it's not as often used as the standard version.  Seems to be a good compromise of Ariel and Segoe UI Light.

I don't think it has great readability. :-/

Okay, here's a logo I made a few days ago... It has a slightly curve reflection inside the text. The triangle/wedge is on the right, and it works 'well' because the text is skewed and thus it all makes it look like the Wedge text is running to the right. (Known issue: it's a bit dark overall. Adding a manually modified version.)

Other than that, err... I don't know, I still like the header logo best for now. :^^;: (Could use a few tricks though.)

Should I make a poll with all the available choices?

Here one in "Helvetica Neue LT Pro 55 Roman" (Regular) font. Also I change the Illustrator preference and enabled "Scale Stroke & Effects" that include "Drop Shadow".

LT stand for LinoType, the current distributor of Helvetica (Non-Neue and Neue).

Hence why I haven't compiled the list yet... :P

A 'regular' poll using the SMF system would probably not work here. I should make a post or web page with all of the items and a number, and ask for you guys to vote for your top 3 or something.

You can allow people to pick 3 in a regular poll but it'd be huuuuuuge.

Yeah but maybe a poll is a bit restrictive even so.

With so many options, there needs to be a way to shortlist some of them to cull the list to a manageable size.

Perhaps break them into groups by general style, then see which one of those is most favoured.

Well, how about you tell us your favorite logos, Pete? Your opinion is important, too :P

I don't really have a favourite, to be honest. The current logo in use on wedge.org is nice, so is the older logo that Bloc worked on.

I guess a part of me really likes having the wedge shape in there, in a format visually separate from the writing, and the use of brown suits me; I tend to think of us as kind of grass-roots, earthy, that sort of thing. People of the clay, you might say.

Hi, this is my first post. :)

And this is my contribution. It's made with tangram pieces, and except th square, they're all wedges in some kind. :P

I had thought to add a slogan, but it seems I forgot it: "Wedge, build your own".

Made with Inkscape and resized with GIMP. :)

Hi. Welcome and thank you.
However I'm afraid this tends to break the #1 rule: readability :P

I myself am starting to get fond of the series of logos I built these days so I can't decide between the header logo, the one in my signature and the one in the footer. ;)
