The middle one for me too!

The one on the left is too dark for my liking, and the 'w' one, ever since Pete mentioned Batman, that's all I see!! :whistle:

What, you don't like Batman? :P

And the middle one has the same colors :P

It's not about not liking Batman,[1] it's just that what has been seen, cannot be unseen. ;)

I like them all.

The new font works well with the middle one. I really can't choose from the two at the moment. The new one looks better here, but the dark wedge might be better in other environments.

Tought one, but I'm not changing my vote :)

I already have a dark version under the hand, you know ;)
As for the font, I could also change the color, or put it on a white background.

Firstly for a proper poll comparison might I suggest you display ALL logos the same size.

Also - In your latest effort, ( Looking good in wine ) identical font and sizing as the W styled one would be nice as it is more pronounced. Maybe slightly more separation between the image and font as well.

Generally speaking I find the wedge lettering in all examples is too small in comparison to the image, theres not enough balance. - I know what your going to say about that. My answer....

Might have to stretch the wedges or reduce to accomodate!

Headaches, headaches... I'm seriously at a loss. I think I should be making different polls for the logo shape, the font face, and general color sets.

Just look at this, for instance. I've made a custom version of the 'old' minilogos with the new font. Do you like the older one (Aller Display) or newer one (Sansation Italics) best?
(The dark one is exactly the same size as the footer version. The light one is a bit bigger, and I added a touch of a gradient to make it less dull. It works quite better although I've grown tired of the color blue in there.)

In the graphic all is roundish and the old font had straight lines. I think Sansation Italics fits better.

My English isn't good enough to explain it better. Sorry

Nyrrr...Ditch the Sansation and use the typeface similar to Eras as used in W logo. It will match what you have done in the Warm skin. A tad more vertical spacing between logo and wedge lettering.

So guys... Let me guess: we're always going to have 50% of believers and 50% non-believers, no matter what the subject, precisely because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and thus design is a very subjective matter :P

Anyway, I tried bolding out the wedge font (it doesn't exist in Sansation so I had to turn it into outlines and offset the path, which works well enough), and modified the 'w' to make the middle line less prominent, although I'm not sure this one's for the best.
Don't mind about the logo's color, I made some tests and saved the wrong one.

Just be the auteur Nao. We already know you know your way around this, and honestly I'd rather have what you chose than what 50%+ of the worlds population would choose when it comes to logos.

What do you think of this variation...? (Comes with two examples: a footer version I carefully built, and a homepage logo I quickly made without changing the background colors.)
I tried to simplify the W by simply taking it off the Sansation set -- a feeling of unity is in order.
And yes, I've finally found the way to make the small print readable... It wasn't a matter of size, rather simply a matter of spacing between letters. Ah ah, sometimes I'm a noob at this.
