Re: [extval] rc 1 and logo
Hi Adonis,thanks for your precious advice! I had a little bit more time to search for alternative fonts and I would like to share with you guys the other 5 proposals where I maintained the same concept of the original one but I used different font faces. Let me know what you think! cheers enrico On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 11:21 AM, Adonis Raduca [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Hi, Nice idea, if we consider the scope of the project.

Re: [extval] rc 1 and logo
hello enrico, great logo - it's really stylish. i like #2 and #3. maybe with a minor change of #2 (just a little change of the 't'). regards, gerhard 2008/11/16 Enrico Berti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Adonis,thanks for your precious advice!

Re: [extval] rc 1 and logo
Yep great logo. Just an idea : change the x to dark red to make it look like the cross (as the opposite of the check). Well, probably It adds too much noise, but is it not worth trying ?

Re: [extval] rc 1 and logo
Hi, Nice idea, if we consider the scope of the project. I think that the dark red X adds some complexity also some negative meaning to the idea of validator, because has direct associations with errors. We can think in both way after all: - we use validator to identify errors. - or we use validator to avoid errors. I think the second one is better because it concentrate on the positive aspect ... to avoid errors. On the other side green is in vogue now because has environment friendly connotations ... for that reason I use the green and brown colors to all MyFaces logos. We can go on that direction (the logo with the v stilled in a shape of a green check sign) and to refine the logo. I think is better to invest effort in refining what we have.
