Ok, I actually used brazier curve rather than round corners, I get more control that way.

Hmm that's possibly better, but what about without the top section... Let's try this way.....

Those last two are nice. Though I kind of liked the brown colour.

If only I had an idea I'd give logo-making a try myself.

Yeah, it's f'ing hard to come up with something that look cool, professional and is readable at any size and background color...

I'm comfortable with a one-size-fits-all approach personally. You can't please all of the people all of the time, etc.

Lets reword it. I am not 100% happy with any of the logos ;)

Okay. So what should I do? If I find a logo is not up to my standards, should I let you keep it in that way, and make you waste more time working on more mockups?

Ever heard about constructive criticism?

And what has this got to do with smf anyway?

Apparently being rude to people is either what problem SMF have with us, or more broadly the same problem that SMF has itself. It isn't clear which it is.

FWIW, the commentary was meant sincerely rather than rudely.

It certainly was.

I do appreciate any contributions, but people have got to admit they're not all on the same level of professionalism. Some contributions are only meant as jokes, some are meant as truthful suggestions and I don't know how to kindly refuse them, so it hurts even more to see more attempts 'in the same vein'. I thought I'd go ahead and try to help people save time by following the guidelines that were built progressively in this topic.

Apparently, it's not enough. I guess it comes down to self-esteem issues, for which I cannot help. My job here is to try and get the best possible logo. I'm not a great designer, and I never denied it. That's why the Wedge community has an opportunity to step up and provide some of their ideas where they can outdo my current skill set. I've seen some fantastic logo offers from Bloc and recently CJ Jackson, and eventually I'm positive we'll have a perfect logo for Wedge (if we don't already have -- sometimes it takes time to get used to something that's not in your usual 'play field'.) And I heartily encourage anyone to make offers. But I'm absolutely sincere when I think ncvettes's logo, while attempting new things, would never be used by himself on his own site. If what he offered was just a mockup (i.e. "I don't have any design skills, but I'm trying some ideas, here's one of them, what do you think?"), he should have said it. Unfortunately, he only said "Here's one".

So, yeah, my comment may not be inspiring. But it was not meant to be. It didn't mean to hurt, either, because it was really written with love for all of the offers that were made here.

You don't have to feel forced to... Only if you have inspiration!
And read the last couple of pages for guidelines ;)
