Site Logo (Typography Style)

[the penguin]

The typeface works, the color works. But the leaf and the font for the 7 doesn't work for me. And i have no clue why the lowercase e is reversed. When designers make decisions like that, they usually have meaning unless they're completely abstract. Perhaps you can provide the connotation behind your design decisions to convince me it's working.

Take for instance the logo on http://www.therealcosts.com. It has a leaf because it's causing awareness about the effects that CO2 emissions have on our earth. That leaf makes sense.

Other than that, the site looks great!

Ah. I see you still haven't changed it. I do see that you made a new tutorial on menubars on your site. Interesting, too...

yea, i have come to the conclusion that i'm not really a "designer"... I guess I was strictly meant to "code". So I suppose I'm going to have to break down and try to find someone to do it for me. LOL

Hey Josh...

I just checked out that tutorial that magicyte mentions in his post above. I love the little popup thing you've done with those screenshots. Very nice!!

Edit: Don't mean to be a nag, but I just noticed that everything below "Part II - The Code" in the same post is behaving - CSS wise - in Safari.

LOL, thanks man. You have NO IDEA how long it took to add that to EACH AND EVERY step!

So I'm glad to see it's noticed and appreciated! LOL

holy $h1t!

WTF is goin on there? I hadn't even seen that yet!!!!

Well, I guess here goes another all nighter.

Simplistic and nice. Maybe you should play around with the gray shades on the logo until you get it just right.

Ok, so I took into consideration the things you all have pointed out and redone the logo.

(I also gave my site a "slogan"!) LOL

Let's hear the thoughts this time around...
