Logo

[Krzysztof Koźmic]

Hi guys,

I asked my wife (who is a graphic designer) to have a go at refreshing
logo of Castle project and creating actual logos for our main projects,
and she had a while this weekend, so we sat, I tried to explain what
Castle and each project in turn are all about, and here's what she came
up with.

What do you guys think? She's not terribly happy with AR logo, so that
one could probably see some changes, and colors are not final either,
but have a look and let me know what you think (about the logos and logo
refresh idea).

cheers,
Krzysztof

Looks pretty nice, I wonder if they should be less transparent. Only that they don't seem to stand out enough.

I also don't think it is clear enough that the castle logo is actually a castle. I think without the text there wouldn't be too many people who would know what it is was meant to be.

It might also be because at the moment we don't really have logos for the projects, some are just a just a large icon sized photo. So it can take a bit to get used to thinks.

Does your wife have time to throw together a mock up web site template with those type of colours with the logos, if Henry hasn't already organised something.

I agree with Jonathon that they look a bit too washed out. Other than that they look promising.

I agree with Jono too. A bit more stand out.

Sorry maybe this is just me but I think MR logo looks too much like a progress bar.

I know this may sound a lot out there, but would it be nice to make the logos kind of lego pieces and make the castle logo with those lego pieces?

Cheers
John

I'd love it if the MonoRail logo could have it's upper left corner rounded a bit so it resembles a train a bit more.. only a very tiny radius, but it may look cool.

ActiveRecord looks a bit too much.. The lower left is a bit too cluttered with 3 layers ontop of each other.. Windsor and DynProxy look totally awesome!

greetings Daniel

They're great. I do like more the purple ones.

I like the purple ones too. They're good logos on their own and combine nicely
together!

[Dru Sellers]

Love em!

Ok, so given everyone seems to like the purple ones, and no one had any
remarks, do we go ahead with using these logos from now on? (this
includes also updating the website etc).
