diyAudio Logo Competition Draft Entries

[Vikash]

Ropie, Is there anything more subjective then art (risky saying this on an audio forum). I can see why the current logo is liked for example. It's simple and it works for my eyes. Simplicity is timeless. It could do with some freshening up off course - which is what we're doing I believe, but hey if your eyes tell you different then who am I to argue

Hi Dave,

Changed the tag line as required, along with some other refinements.


240 pixels wide

1/the tag line is "Projects by Fanatics, for Fanatics". Being shorter without the "thes" this makes it easier to fit it in and have it readable... there are a few surviving entries where this line is not readable and it needs to be.

Well...does that mean redo all of them which doesnt comply now..! Or Would this not be considered for the time being, but will take its place in the final design. It is a question of removing the two the's and re alligning the text...may be they can be magnified by a couple of points as well as spaced a bit more, but preserving the existing charecteristics (font type, bold, italic etc etc..)

Why I'm asking this is, many of them which are there needs a redo, as we dint start with this as a stringent requirement originally. It evolved as we went on experimenting...!!

It is indeed a bit of a concern for me now, as I'm travelling (on work) and i dont have the resources( the true copies, tools time...) required to redo all of them until some time...(

I disagree that the majority of the logos in the first cut are better than the current one.

However, some of them are better.

I have a feeling that the indirect email approach to voting is causing a lot of people to give up.

Not only that, it is VERY hard to discern whether the label for a graphic is ABOVE or below it.

I like... need to ensure it works at the small size (tag line disappears) & should be a gif.

The contest was over Dec 31 :^)

Well it was supposed to be... i'd like to leave it till the right logo is born, but there is pressure from you guys and from others to get a solid deadline -- put a little pressure on... i would like my diyAudio cap :^)

This is the case... but the current one has the advantage of status quo... the new one needs to be decidedly better

Any suggestions -- i might be able to get a ballot page made up...

I tweaked the page (but ATM the old one seems to be stuck in the ISPs cache)
