Yet one more? :)



Actually I like this one.

The slight transparency gives some character for the text without making it stand out of place.

Why does the text surrounding img-tags stay on the same row as the image no matter what?  :huh:

The text in editbox looks like this:In code box the img is on its own row, with one empty row before and after the tags.
Code: [Select]

In code box too? What the duck?

(love the merge btw)

No matter how many rows there is between the img-tag and the text before or after it, the text is in the same row. Splitting the text rows works as normal.

Yeah, it's looking good I know... :P
It's not perfect though. I tried adding a gradient effect in addition to the transparency, but the result is a bit dull, especially at low resolutions.
Also, I'm not 100% happy with the wedge symbol behind it. That's why I'm giving myself some time to, uh... Grow new ideas or simply new habits. Maybe this one will stick. Or maybe I'll just go back to the old green logo.. :P

Because I recently changed the img tag to be inline again, as opposed to a block, and forgot to remove the php code that actually removes whitespace around it to make the block look good.
Heck, at this point I don't know if it's important at all... I mean, I'm hoping to be able to convert Wedge.org to use Wedge by next month after all... (Yeah, there are plenty of Wedge.org features that will suddenly be gone, but I can always reimplement them later if I'm not too lazy...)

Another silly mockup, this time in the 'very simple' category... Don't bother with it :lol:

(Hmm yeah, the blue color should be a darker one to begin with...)

I like that. It's nice and for some reason makes me think 'old school'[1] when 88x31 banners were all the rage.

Oh, that's pretty nice, but I think it lacks something. How about the above with color style like in this:

Interesting one, CJ. I'd never have the balls to make a 'dead simple' logo like this! I always need to add more... Meh!
It would probably gain to put less emphasis on the top of the logo, by turning the shape into more of a wedge than a triangle. I think. Having the 'd' cut through the line, and the top-left corner be a bit lower and to the left.

Hmmm yeah, but it doesn't look as good. Ah, bugger...
Maybe with the right corner of the triangle put a bit lower, and the top left corner slightly higher...? Dunno.

@CJ> Could you try a Stylize>Round Corners (something around 10pt) on it? I don't know if it'll work artistically but... I'd just like to try for something more 'human-made', and not too 'Nike' though.

@ncvettes> With all the love in the world to everyone who offered a logo and whom I didn't "call back": please, before you submit an idea, ask yourself whether you'd be willing to use your logo in the header/footer of your own site... :^^;:
