[ Closed ] #! CrunchBang Logo Competition (Page 9 of 11)

^^ I like the ones on the left hand side

I'm glad you guys like it.

I still like this design, but after looking at it for a while it started feeling really heavy to me.  What do you think about thinning it up?  I know you lose some of the nice intersections you get especially with the # and the !.  Sorry don't mean to step on any toes.

This might be a stupid question, but I have to ask.  Should we be thinking about CrunchEee?

I agree: the OP art and the "box look" get lost. Besides, the thin version associates, in my eyes, with crux ordinaria.

Well, size matters, as it seems. Icon size would require some modifications, I guess: the text doesn't work if it's too small and the light version needs more contrast in smaller sizes (I added 25 units in GIMP). But rfquerin's isometric logo still looks like a winner to me, even when reduced into icon size (below, it's not really that small, but you can scale it up and down).

hi!
yet another try. No telling, .eps file, supersmall (~1200bytes), no font property issues, and so on.
This time, I took the inspiration from jdugan #185 post, of using "h" of crunch and "b" of bang to incorporate into # and !
(hope he doesn't mind!), but switched to capitals, more similar to the present logo. I was in doubt if using rounded or squared shapes for the (!). Finally used rounded, but it is easy to change.

Good points and great job on the icon...only problem is that it's too hard to see...I'm not sure where the icon ends and the white forum background begins for the front and front-right faces of the icon. Maybe the black would be better...or maybe it just depends on the background...just some thoughts!

By the way, the slant typeface that is a feature of the hash sign (or "crunch", #), and not only in italics, brings to my mind another "parametre" besides speed.

It actually associates, in my eyes at least, with something like a collapsing scaffold. And this association brings me to another central parametre: sense of humour. CrunchBang stroke me from the beginning as a distro with a sense of humour:

Well, I have had remarkably little problems with #!; it might well be the most stable of the few distros I have tried for more than a couple of hours.

Hey, I like this.  Very slick.  Very star Wars.

Anyone else?

I also really like the second and third ones here.    I think this is getting more away from that blocky feeling,  very minimalist and polished.  Especially #3. 

I like the #! *after* the crunchbang, gives it more of an ... well.. exclamation-ness.
