Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Logos for dynapi

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

How's this logo concept?  Colors and font may need tweaking.  I didn't use a
font so text may be chunky; I just copied the bitmap of a screenshot of the
PDF as big as I could get, then reduced it's size again.  :-)

Regarding the logos at
http://www.creative-workshop.com/doug/dynapi_logos.zip , I first excluded
all the ones that looked like an accident, then excluded the ones that maybe
weren't too clear to read, and excluded all the ones that didn't have some
logo attempt (since that was stated as an objective), excluded the ones that
looked like buttons.  This left #7, which I then noticed looks a lot like
the Win2k install logos.  So instead of reproducing another look, I just
integrated the donated swirly logo (#2 in the PDF) and added some lines to
draw the attention from the logo, across the word, focussing on API.

Any comments?

P.S. Rant post-mortem: lessons learned (hopefully I don't get told to STFU).
       1) Can't make unilateral decisions or communications, if only to
cover yourself later.  Best to send off a quick note to the group to avoid
misinterpretations.
       2) Can't jump to conclusions, you may not have all the info.  Expend
less energy by gathering more info first than by getting worked up only to
appologize later.
       3) Maybe nobody liked the specific logos suggested, but it has
introduced some new ideas, and that in and of itself serves a purpose (i.e.
motivated me -- and hopefully others -- to try our own designs), so
hopefully it's not seen as a loss by the company who so generously invested
effort.

P.P.S. I know I've only contributed a little to the API, and I've been out
of it for a while now.  Just get into a funk and lose motivation.  So I
contribute where I can, when I find motivation, like with this logo.
