Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

I do though. Don't worry about layout, just which one do you think is best?

Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

I suspect it will be wordpress. Obviously I might have to change the logos depending on what happens.

#1 looks a bit on the amateurish side.
#2 is too hard to read.
#3 very nice
#4 also very nice!

Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

I like the #2, if you could put in some outline color to the text, it will be much more readable. maybe black color?

adding some drop shadow would be interesting?

Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm stuck between 3 and 4. I love 2, but it';s slightly hard to read. But I tried to make a new No2 which could be read, I failed, but it still looks nice!

I might take the colours of 3 and add them to 4. Hmm

Thanks for the suggestions!

Add some texture to the word "CSS" I think.

Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

Or perhaps bevel and emboss...
That will make the text a 3d features...
and more readable.

Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

bevel and emboss = bad
you can create same effect using darker and lighter blocks of colour

i like number 3,
would look better with a contrasting colour

Why and what do you mean by that?
What's wrong with bevel and emboss?

Well, that's just a suggestion to alexgeek. Maybe he has a better idea.
Overall, you have to do something with the text otherwise it will be hard to read.

Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

images that looked raised usually look really odd on screen unless there done in a certain way.

Re: Which Logo? Critique Welcome :)

I like number 3, but think it just needs re-arranging.

attached is a possible idea, the 'outside of the box' tag line is meant to be breaking out of the box (sorry only had 5 mins)

anyways, somthing along those lines to give it some 'action' might be the way to go.

or you may wish to switch the tag link to break out of the bottom of the box....
