A slightly less ugly logo »

I have a new site logo. Hit Ctrl+Refresh if you're still seeing the old orange logo. I like this one better, although it still isn't exactly brilliant. The creative process of coming to this logo was quite fun, so I'll share:

The bars in the background is the DNA profile of my site. You can get your own here (via ILoveJackDaniels)
The flower-like graphs laying on top of the DNA bars are yet another way to visualize a site. You can do this here
The retro font I downloaded from Font Freak
The banner that contains the quotes is drawn manually using the pencil tool. The quote is from softwarequotes.com
Finally, I switched the whole image to grayscale mode, and then switched back to RGB mode to highlight the ".com" text, to give it a somewhat modern touch

I'd appreciate if you would use the rating feature below this entry to give your opinion on the new logo.

comment » It's decent, certainly. You might perhaps work a bit with the colors used in the body relative to the header - the orange doesn't seem to mesh really well with the sepia style of the graphic. Not bad, though. «
