Description This is my first contribution to dA, i wish i had time for more, but anyway, here's something from the top of my head, i could work more on it, so I'm open for suggestions

edit: I didn't explain the concept, ops

anyhow, i tried to use a balanced shape, came out like someone flipping you -i know
so i used square shapes, but tried to keep the edges round at the end as DA current layout utilize round corners,
The shape can also be on Fellas tshirt or glasses

I didn't really work much on the font, but it's the direction i think the brand should take, but doesn't have to be the same exact font really, just must have round edges to go with the site main direction.

That's it, nothing complicated, just a thought.

EDIT 2: just cleaned it a bit adding more curve to the edges, and putting it on black and white backgrounds, changed the font.

P.S. Shininess icon is originally by [link] , i just recreated it from scratches.

This is definitely my favorite out of the ones I've seen so far. It has a good appeal to it.

The only problem I could see arising with it is that the font almost looks like the digg font. I might be the only one who sees that in it though. XD

My only criticism would be the font you're using for the text.

I like it... and think its a nice logo... but I seen one of your examples and am sad to say that I think it doesn't really fit into the style of dA. It seems a tad blocky...

aSpartan In reply to post-sanity [2008-10-02 12:54:46 +0000 UTC]

true, that's why I'm planning to modify it soon

I'm gonna say EEK for using fella, EEK for using liquisoft's badge and EEEK cause it's not black on white. Still kinda like the logo though!

aSpartan In reply to mrrste [2008-10-02 01:43:23 +0000 UTC]

mm, i didn't claim any of those are mine- i'd remove the entry at once if any want wants me to, my point was just see how it can be customized to dA brand.

anyhow, thanks for the black and white tip- i kinda missed that one, maybe i could edit that now
