Hi all, This thread got split somehow. To bring discussion of Daniel's proposal to this thread:
Daniel Gruno <[email protected]> Wed, Aug 14, 2:33 AM (1 day ago) to dev Hi James, I don't mean to butt in much here, but as the general "guy who fixes various logos around here" (I re-did the current airflow logo as the other version had bad color tearing and splotches of...I dunno what), what about perhaps taking the best of both worlds and compromising? Using the more simple design of the suggested logo in this thread, but making it more realistic, adding the 'button' back in, adding a bit of thickness to the wings. I made a quick mock-up of the current, proposed, and an example compromise version at: https://imgur.com/a/G0Bpcky --- Personally I like "Alternate 2" much more. It is somewhat simplified but not so flattened that it stops looking like a pinwheel; and it's much less like a "shuriken" with fewer points.
