That's because it is two words! I can change that easily enough.

I wasn't sure how it was going to be presented so I kind of went half way on it. Easy to change it to however it's wanted in the end.

I'm wondering if I should lose the tuning scale completely, maybe just go for the cursor. What do all y'all think?

If you're going to use the scale, do one with several bands stacked over each other.

I started out with it that way but it looked to cluttered. I'm beginning to think it's best to lose it completely, maybe just include the cursor.

I guess it would depend on how transparent the layer is.

The cursor, indicator, needle, that is a must, yeah?

Maybe tweak it so the palm tree(s) become the cursor?

It could be one tree, or a pair of trunks with the space between as the cursor.

Or the moon with clouds could be the cursor, with mirror imaged palm trees on either side.

Or maybe a drink umbrella as a cursor... or a Gretchen Cone?

Thanks.

It's always surprising to me how tiring that sort of work can be. A lot of careful attention to fiddly bits.

Excellent job, Carlo. Trouble is, the type won't scale well. Try using the same graphic, but move the type to the right so that it can be enlarged for use on a masthead or similar application. The concept is excellent. You earn a tip of the Albi helmet.

Thanks, Albi, I was hoping for your comment as a real graphic design pro.

Could you explain a little further what you mean when you say that the type won't scale? I'm not arguing otherwise, just uncertain what about you're trying to say.
07-02-2011, 03:36 PM

Okay, Albi, after a little thought, I can see your point. I think there's a use for more than one iteration of the logo so if Luke prefers, I can send him copies of both.

Extree large collars, for that Elvis look. Or maybe Disco Stu?

I guess we're tryin' to mainstream a bit , but the whole "misfit " angle is unaddressed . Something square-peg / roundholish . Knurling the knob was a definite plus . Is there room for an umbrella drink somewhere ?

Do you have a scale which goes to 11?

It would complement this nicely:

I guess I'm not understanding why the desire to dump that which has always graced the top left corner of the forum page. Lots of great suggestions to be sure, but why the sudden desire for change? I thought we had all started to figure out the impact of what 'change' has done for (to) us. Dah Dah Dah, BOOOOM!!! TISH! ;)

I somewhat addressed that. The current logo doesn't scale for multi-purpose use. The licensing of the actual image is unknown. And as we get ready to launch the new site, I wanted something fresh and cool -- something to build a brand around.

I'm always concerned with licensing issues having dealt with trying to do original work for a complete site that was going to compete with Fubar. It never got off the ground but that was because the guy heading the project didn't want to take responsibility for doing any of the grunt work.
