I think the colours are mostly open to interpretation, however I suspect I'm part of the reason for the focus on browns; I said before that I like deep rich brown colours. I like the colour anyway, but I also happen to think it's appropriate for us: it's strong, rich and earthy - solid and no-nonsense, which is really what I think we're like as a project and as people given half a chance.

Blue then just comes up at the natural complement (I know orange is the natural complement to blue but somehow the blue/brown combination has worked fairly well IMO)


Personally, I'd be all set with some of the examples posted especially in the last day or so using the blue/brown semi-abstract shapes, but I'm certainly not going to stand in the way of people trying out things.

I also like brown a lot... So it's a shared taste. I usually associate it with green khaki though, and this blue thing was mostly an homage to Bloc's original ship design. (It was too dark compared to his own blue though.)
And it happened to work nicely... So I didn't even try the khaki variant.

Trying out is good. However at the current point I don't know if I'm not going to go crazy if we start from scratch again... :P

I've updated the header with the 'final' logo, i.e. what I'd *personally* like to settle on. I've tried so many variations, my pic file now weighs 5MB (!!!), when it was at 250KB 24 hours ago... The logo I see now makes me at least go, "wow, this looks like a professional product". I'm only asking for that at this point... :^^;:

Time for bed. Can't believe I spent yet another day on the logo!

BTW Bjorn, I'm seriously waiting for our feedback on the Skeleton topic... ;)

I'll sleep over the logo thing. If you feel like it, can you try seeing what it gives when trying to do a circle with a wedge like you did, but the wedge is thinner and penetrates the entire width of the circle? And possibly using the same orientation as on my square logo ;)

PS: Coolvetica works wonder in full size. Not so much in small size like in the footer here... I dunno.

So far I like the last one from Bloc and nice-scewed3 from Nao.
Looking a bit longer to them I found the full circle in the logo by Bloc a bit less oké and the logo by Nao a bit to "squarisch".
I felt combining in some way would do.
I am not great with grafics en only have Windows Paint on this computer, so only a raw mockup to get an idea.
It's up to others to make something out of it.

You like nice-skewed in particular or my latest logos in general, like the header one? :whistle:

Does this add anything to the current header logo? :P

I like it, but the "wedge"-letters should have the 3D effect too.

They have a gradient, and maybe it's even too much.
