All, Thnx for the positive feedback! I did some more work. Here's an update.
- First of all I bumped up the resolution. Now I've got a file which allows hi-res printing of the logo up to 10cm. - Next I did some tweaking based on your comments. There was a preference for simplestyle1 but main comment was that it is too heavy. I agree; the side-elements 'overruled' the word RAVE. I styled the side-elements as an 'average' of simplestyle1 and 2. - I also used a nice bright red for the 'hole'. I was kind of reluctant at first (because indeed I thought the hole should be black or dark grey), but the red actually works really well. - I also looked at the Apache project branding requirements. Based on that I included the "™" symbol and created "powered by" and "inside" variations of the logo. - I think there are situations where a square ratio icon is useful, so I couldn't resist creating a light and heavy variation for that. These can contain the "powered by" and "inside" additions as well. - Then I went overboard and also created a favicon ;-). I've attached an image containing all the variations. IMO we're quite there, nevertheless still love to hear your feedback. grt, Rolf On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 4:34 PM, Hadrian Zbarcea <[email protected]> wrote: > Ate, > > That's what I meant :).
