New Logo

[HAWK]

We're pretty excited about our new logo, which you'll notice if you hard refresh.
Check it out...

Better do something about that favicon now!

[ralph.m]

Nice work, guys. Looks great!

[Dark Tranquility]

Good job! Is it done by Alex?

[molona]

*clap clap clap* Great job!

[TechnoBear]

Elegant (like ourselves - although I'm sure molona would agree with me that it would be even more elegant in green than in orange and blue ).

It's beautiful! I love it! But the new SP logo doesn't appear in the forum header, it's just on the main website for me, and I did a hard refresh too. But yes, I was going to mention the favicon xD

It appears for me.

The new logo is fresh and terrific... way to go to whomever designed it!

I'm sure a 99designs contest would've been more fun.

Anyway, here's what I did, just for fun:

I don't mean to upset anyone by it. If so, please remove it.

EDIT
This is how it'd look like in place: http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/...01-inplace.png

Not bad. But it doesn't capture the S idea, which is a nice aspect of the logo.

Alex and Harley collaborated on it.

It is definitely on the forums, although it is an older version - we'll sort that out today. We're working on the favicon but it's proving to be tricky.

I quite like it.

That's odd. It seems very well suited for a favicon.

Sorry, not what I meant - we have a file - we're just working on updating it.

[itmitică]

I quite like it.

Thanks.

liked your logo itmitică, I can see an S in the inverted space, but yours is too much of a departure from SP's brand. Nice design though.

I never went for an S.

In fact, I started with the base in the graphic part of the old design, the half bracket, the parallelogram. I took the top orange part and I rounded just a bit around the corners and then I duplicated it down for the blue half.

EDIT
It could even tell you a story: the years of coding on SP (the brackets symbols in the old one) have became books (the overlapping half brackets symbols in the new one).

I didn't notice the S at first, but now I see it and it makes the logo look even nicer than when I initially saw it.

[Black Max]

Good job. Just ... moar cowbell! And llamas! And strobing lights! And, and, and...

Damn, I don't think I like it after all.

[kohoutek]

I absolutely like it! I think it's a lot more elegant and has better dynamics.

[akritic]

I really like it also Good job well done, and the blog post was an interesting read.

[cssdru]

Just amazing! I simply love it! (and this is my first post here)

[ServerStorm]

Welcome to SitePoint cssdru! I hope your time here is enjoyable and find your place inside the community!

Actually, I was admiring it earlier.
I just assumed the favicon was being troublesome, like they ALWAYS seem to be. I guess I was sorta right.

Moral of this story: that logo is awesome!

Thank you very much for the welcome, Steve.

I am proud to be member of such a great community!
