I don't have the answers, only the smart-ass observations :/

Well, I guess it can still wait.. ;) My priority is on the skin for now. And making sure I can safely use Wedge here.

You can ask about lots of logo designs and get a not so definitive shortlist.
Its all personal, really personal.
The only site your logo will be on is wedge.org; yours and Arantors site.
You two have to go with what you really like and stick with it.

Well, a suggestion that may make things worse rather than better, but... A new poll, with one representative from each of the most recent "family"s of designs (three or four should be easy enough given your output Nao), and then use the result as a jump-off point for further refinement. (And... /me runs away and hides :ph34r:)

Continue on with the skin and then see what works best. Perhaps inserting what PantsMan said in upper left corner of forum as group display or slideshow for selection purposes?

Whatever you've got going on with the logo right now doesn't work to well for me. If I hover in the "outskirts" of it, it keeps switching back and forth.

@billy2> Only on this site...? Well, I don't know about that... Our Facebook page, things like that... And anyone wanting to promote us... And whatever marketing material we could come up with.
As for the rest, hmm... Well, yeah, skin first.

Hey guys... Added 3 more logos to post #907.
Anything catching your attention in that post? Font/color/logo/layout, anything you want to talk about...

Prefer bom1 and bom2 to bom3: something about 3 rubs me up the wrong way, think it's the lack of background on the graphic.
Close run thing between bom1 and bom2, but for me bom1 edges it.
Also, I much prefer the "logo above font" images to the "logo alongside font" images. Really like nwl4 for instance (big fan of darker things against lighter things...)

I missed #907 the first time around >_<
nwl1 seems more in keeping with the main logo in the current sidebar and that's grown on me so I like the image part, but I'm not keen on the font in nwl1-3, nor am I so keen on the triangles in 2 or 3 (but if it was a choice, 2 before 3)
nwl4 I like as a main logo, not so much the font. "All bold capitals" doesn't sit well with me.
nwl5, the capitals aren't as bad this time around, I'm guessing my eyes find the brown tone softer to look at, and there's consistency between the writing and the icon, but the triangles seem kinda vague.
nwl6, I like the fact the text has the colours to match the icon but I'm not liking the gradient behind it.
bom1, I like the logo itself, I like it a lot, but I'm not sold by the text.
bom2, less sold by the icon/logo, text much as before.
bom3, not a huge fan of the bendy triangles, and I'm just reminded of a sandwich toaster with the logo :/

No Pete, you didn't miss anything, I simply edited my post over time to add more stuff... nwl4 has been there since day one along with the first three though ;)
Okay, a couple more samples based on feedback.... I still like the green text the best. (Trying with a different font though.)
I think the 8_ logo looks great, as busy as ever though... But with the text outside of it, it works nicely. Perhaps I should try with the 6_ font and the 8_ logo. Not sure about the best font color.

I managed to miss the entire post, I hadn't seen any of them until I posted earlier...
I prefer 8 to 6 in the above.

In red or green?
And with this font?
I didn't post any logos when I first sent that post, eh. I only edited it a couple of days later...
Added an amusing one with Bebas Neue (the default font in Worg's header, although it's not loaded through a webfont so you'll have to install it on your PC to see it), and an alternative version of the white logo I made yesterday. I went through more tutorials and this is the results of my research. Although it's definitely starting to look like the Nike logo, now that I'm looking at it... :lol:
Added another with a larger Bebas Neue + simplified shape using the recent color set + rounded corners except on the Wedge text corner.
:edit: And another variation... Having fun :)
......Bump, then?
