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.
