To use a couple of wine merchant logos as examples...

So far a lot of the logos heer are quite classical like this:

What about something a bit more crowd friendly, quirky, eyecatching, and fun like:

Sorry you're right that was a mean thing to say.

I meant, it's like the DaVinci Code except not completely shit. ;)

I once applied for a job as a mustard cutter.

But unfortunately I wasn’t quite good enough.

Very clever. Although I'm afraid some people might use it as proof that we've only got one brain cell between all of us. :lol:

I say! Going back to the A-S-K thing, how about the strapline: It's a big ASK! :smile:

Not bad at all. Only the "ask" isn't very clear. Maybe add arrows to indicate that this is not a site dedicated to SKA-loving rational skeptics? :mrgreen:

I LIKE the EYE! Macdoc's logo's pretty good, for example.

Oof! That's a bit much. I need to use these eyes again at some point, you know.

You need to be aware of how it's going to look at a variety of sizes too, scaled down:

It's almost invisible...
Keep in mind, the point here is to have it instantly recognisable. :D

That's why I think the eye is important

Even scaled down it's recognizable.

Ideally the whole thing should remain legible down to about avatar size, even if it's there's no plan to use it at that size.

We could have various types, like a symbol-type logo with just the initials and one with the whole domain or something.

My variation on MacDoc's 'ASK' theme...

...you get the idea - fonts and colours can be easily changed. Also a slightly more detailed version of the one I did yesterday.
