Well..the image you made doesn't remind me, at least, of a wedge or how a wedge works.
No, it doesn't. It's an accidental logo. As you can see on the topic, I took the ship, split it in two parts, and started moving them around and trying to find interesting positions. The first one was very 'organic' (I'd applied a large Rounded Corners effect to both parts), but it didn't pair well with the text. The second try was the current one - the idea was to join the two 'darker' (shadowy) parts together in a corner. Then after looking at the finished logo, I noticed that the empty space between the two objects could be seen as the 'wedge' separating them, so I put the emphasis on that, and created the square logo that I suppose you like better. And I still like it a lot, too -- but I'm also interested in the majority's opinion, and in this case it was clearly that most users felt the current one was the best one.
Just see, once again, the empty space as a wedge...
I tried to make a compromise between the two versions that puts the emphasis on the empty space, see below. But my guts tell me that it won't be seen as an improvement. People will mention how the blue triangle now looks like a tear, and others will say it's just a drop of water dripping from the amphora that the brown triangle is, and two clans will form, and I'll go crazy...
:lol:Its looks more like two triangles being cut in 2/3 and 1/3. So no, it doesn't give me anything.Perhaps two slim triangles (or better yet 3) with the middle as the "wedge" would work better, I don't know. The font is ok, I guess, nothing to write home about, and certainly a bit thin IMHO.
I love both fonts. I have nothing to add
;) And there's probably even space for a third nice font to throw into the mess...
:lol:But, many logos use just some abstract image that doesn't particulary say anything. Case in mind, the Envato "leaf"/"fruit" (?)
Very nice logo. Actually when I loaded your post in my iPod, the 'envato' part didn't show up (too big), so I only had the icon, and I thought it was a suggestion you made for Wedge and I immediately thought 'great, I have to try this'...
:lol:I lean more towards symbols bearing some meaning in relationship to the product(and for all I know the envato might even do just that, at some more hidden level :D )
I completely agree. Although all logos have a relationship, sometimes it's not clear. It's what I call the Rorschach effect... Just like the ending of some obscure movie like Mind Game where you have to watch the movie several times and make your own opinion -- and whatever opinion you have, it's the 'right' one for you anyway.
EDIT: something funky about img tag here, it won't place itself on a new line, had to place br before and after.
I know I know, it's due to another bug I fixed earlier... This one is less severe I'd say. It'll all be fixed when Wedge.org runs on Wedge anyway...
Best font for the logo..?
