Wedge

This.

When will this madness end? :P

Soon, friend, soon. :P

Perhaps it's just me but..... the latest one reminds me of Sydney Opera House...  :ph34r:

Unintended but I like that. I love Sydney!

I like the third one very much. Don't know why, but it looks very professional and clean to me :) The other logos look awesome too, though.

Yeah... That's the thing: in my opinion, the third logo is very much a "professional" logo, in that it would look great on stationery. The other two look great horizontally and as a website header.
I'm actually tempted to keep the two, even though it's not 'clean' to have two different text styles. But I think what matters the most, is that the logo itself remains the same either way...

Heck, I'm surprised to say -- this is the first time I have a shot at a recognizable, cool logo like Firefox's. It's probably why it inspired me to have a bit of a designer flair with the third logo here.
It doesn't look as good as Firefox's 16x16 icon version, but then again I don't think ANY icon looks as good as it... It's, like, my mètre-étalon -- my standard meter.

I like the three of them.
#3 is too portrait IMO, but I still like the design.

Merry Xmas btw

Lol, if you hover over the "your forum" part of the logo in the sidebar, it goes to the second logo, but as that one is smaller and you're not hovering over that logo, it goes back to the first logo, so it goes to the other logo every time. :P

Yeah, I tried making it into a div and crap like that (it's only temporary) but failed to make it hoverable as a square (regardless of image size) within a single line of code, so I figured, who cares... As I said, it's only temporary anyway.
Plus, if you hover towards the alternate logo, it'll show up again... As long as the pointer is in the 165x97 area where that logo is shown, you're safe.

(The problem never occurred before because I always made sure to keep both logos in a 165x97 area.)

I'm very happy that you seem to be going with the green one, it's just beautiful!
I love the third one but seeing as I'm very picky when it comes to graphics I have a couple of things to mention, if you're interested:

I want more white-space around the text, particularly near the bottom of that box. Just to give it some extra air, y'know. I also personally think it'd be a better idea to keep the entire slogan ("Level up your forum") the same colour - the darker one - and size and all that, it'd look cleaner to me I think. Just a couple of thoughts, it looks very nice though, good job!

The other alternative is quite good as well. I was sceptic to the idea of having the shape thingy on top of the text at first but I must say it grew on me.

I'm not a fan at all of the idea to have two different text styles as you mentioned, but I guess as you said, as long as the shape remains the same it'd be a little more acceptable.

Really, I'm in love with the shape. In a very disturbing way I might add.

Random unrelated thought: You guys should use your Twitter account :P (yeah I know, I'm slowly becoming a Twitter addict...)

They have a account expect for Rene being inactive. :P

(Bump for votes...)Oh, I loved the gray one just as much... But it was obvious it wasn't as popular, so I just removed it from the poll.Tried it, doesn't work.
Also tried various other fonts... Somehow, I "got" it to click with me with an Helvetica where WDG are in uppercase and the E is in lowercase (with size updated to fit the other letters, of course.)
See below...? (I still prefer the one in the poll, though.)
:edit: Removed -- it sucked.Also tried that -- looks bland. 'Your forum' is more important to me, than 'Level up'. It defines what Wedge is, while Level up really is the slogan -- and I won't be comfortable with the slogan until the software is out and people actually use it and love it... (Just having our Consultants to test it and love it isn't enough for me ;))It really works well. I have spr1te to thank for putting that back on track, I guess!Then that makes two of us... Do we have to fight over it? :PI've never liked Twitter... I only have an account there to point people to something if someone starts claiming they're me. Heck, even Google gets confused with my account... Used to be @noisen, and I thought it still was, and Google points to that, and it redirects to a @NoiseN that has nothing to do with me... So I logged in, and checked my account name, and it's @NaoGilles. Which makes more sense, I guess.
There's also @wedgeteam, but I simply don't even remember what our password is... Lol. (Otherwise I guess I'd have updated the logo by now.)

I *think* I've found a way to get a large icon with small text into the logo, without having to turn back to uppercase text, and thus be able to keep the overall effect. Of course it requires inverting the colors for the text, but I'm absolutely fine with that. That way, we can have the two different logos.
Also tried two different fonts. My all-time 3 faves in my designs have been Coolvetica, Segoe-likes and PT Sans Bold. Below are 5m (PT Sans Bold) and 6m (Segoe) tests. Dunny which font would be best...
(Also added a minor diffuse glow to the icon itself, to enhance the 3D effects with the text on top of it.)
