Logos (proposal 3)

http://www.kb3llm.org/apachelogo/pro3.jpg


Some text effects, and the apache feather as an underline.

I know it's plain, but does it look better than the first two?

Hi Ricki,

I know this still needs some polishing.

My bet would be to have 3 with the feather at the position as in 3a and
remove reflection alltogether. I have to admit, I find this outstanding,
attracting dot interesting. I would keep it.

Regards
Felix

:)

i couldn't agree more... as i said i am just trying to help the effort
of making the current proposal from a technical level more compelling.

i don't even want to get started about my reservations for the current
proposal in general.
personally, i understand this whole excercise more as a
questionable experiment or a teaching exercise rather than a serious
effort to get a usable logo.

as mentioned before, i think the whole exercise is a bit weird since
"design by committee" always ends up with visually crippled solutions.
specifically since (to my knowledge) the people on this list have no
design experience or education whatsoever, to me this is a bit the
blind leading the blind.

regards,
david

Hi,

I do not understand the reflection thing :-)

And also, though it looks nice having the apache feather at the lower
right corner, it covers an important part of the "g" and allows
misreading "sling" for "slina" in this case ...
