Okay, I'll be playing with it more...
I'm in love with the 'small' version (the one in your sig), not so much the large version, but it's probably something really tiny that's bothering me, I'll try to put my finger on it...
Got a strange one here... I'm sure it'll fall flat but whatever, it's funny enough ;)

Bump :P

Maybe if I swapped the colors?
Colors doesn't do anything for me..but I like better these shapes, than the round(ish) ones.
Those shape sure like wedges, wedging each other (in a good way).

Just to let you guys know that I've grown tired of the current logos, and I've been reviewing the last 30 pages of this topic, and making a selection of my 'favorite' logos (including a few by 3 other members), and now I'm actually/currently exploring two directions: (1) the last few logos using the wedge ship (hey there), (2) WEDGE instead of wedge. Might end up finding a good one... Especially in the G department.

 :sob: Bet it feels a bit like -

Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!

 :lol:
<br /><br />cough, cough.

Oh, well, you know guys that you can make me stop anytime... :P

Plus, it's not like I'm preventing anyone from lobbying for their own fave logo!

They're all good. But I keep thinking the Wedge logo should kick ass :P

It should kick ass as much as Wedge does.

SMF kicks ass in its own ways too... Just not as hard as perhaps it might.

Posted a few new logo tests on the previous page yesterday... Meh, black text doesn't look good in large size -- only in small size. Anyway, my 'favorite' out of my recent tries is currently shown when hovering the website's logo in the sidebar. You can also see a small size version in my signature.
Any opinions?

Hmm, my personal favourite is still , though I like too ... Not a fan its the recent blue/grey variant, though, sorry.

Out of interest, what's the font used in the logos above? :)

Well, you don't have to feel sorry for anything, on the contrary I'd much rather get negative feedback than no feedback at all... :whistle:
Anyway -- I understand about the colors, but the font choice?

Which brings me to this: the font you point out is DIN OT, a big classic of 20th century typography. It is, however, customized by myself. The 'w' is narrower than in the original and the 'g' is stretched vertically to match the size of the 'd' ring.
The font in the current test version is part of the humanist family, like Segoe UI or the older Frutiger. They all tend to look like each other after a while ;)
