Help me decide logo?

[CryptO]

Hi,

I was all commited with what I thought was a good logo. Then somebody goes and says, 'you really need to change your logo, how about this?' Now I cannot decide. I would really like some second opionions because if I change the logo now we are going to have to do some design revisions on the site because of the colour scheme. Although it will be easier to do now rather than later.

Please vote on which logo you prefer?

Thanks very much!!!

Current logo



Proposed logo (maybe if the speech bubble was changes to red instead of pink we could keep existing colour scheme?)

I do not have any knowledge about logo designing, but the proposed one does look more attractive to me personally. Next to that I thought it might be easier to use the proposed logo because '.me' also has a background color and if you would want to put the logo on somewhere you have two baloons instead of a square in which you don't have boundaries around the '.me' part.

Sorry if it is hard to understand my explaination, I am trying my best to make it clear to you in English.
Hopefully my opinion is of use to you somewhat.

think about branding and big companies like apple pepsi and McDonalds, simple so it can be used in all aspects print CMS and web...I hope it helps

What's the concept behind it? I have a professional logo designer friend who always gives the concept behind a logo he designs. I think this way you will stick with a logo for life, without second-guessing yourself.

If your site is about conversation, dialogue and sharing, maybe the 2nd one would be more appropriate. It gives the perception of dialogue.

If it is about "this is how it is", then the first one.

(I did check your website, but to me it wasn't exactly clear what it is about)

The site is a social question network, so conversation, dialogue and sharing plays a big part in what I want to acheive.

The general concencus seems to be the second logo - the new one!!!

If we do go with this new logo, then the design which is currently red white and blue will have to be changed to pink white and blue. Pink for my website, wtf!!! I didn't see that coming, but if it looks better and people prefer it then that is what it will have to be.

Very difficult to decide. I'll also have to try it out in red instead of pink and see what that does, not sure it will be as effective..... back to the drawing boards and for the logo we are launching in just over 2 weeks!

Thanks for the inputs.

a little pink will help attract the female demographics... too much will turn off the male demographics.

That was in tune with my thinking so this is where I am now. Somebody has even suggested trying blue an orange, like most movie posters because that is what attracts people!!! How many times will I have to change this to get it right!!!

I agree with Patrick - the red and blue that is in your avatar right now looks great. When I see the pink one, I tend to feel that is more of a female-oriented site. I love the red and blue.

The pink and blue has too much of a feminine feel to it. The new red and blue one is just right. Keep up the good work!

Red and blue

The second logo is better. It has better typography. But I'm not so sure with the concept. It would help us critique if we know the idea behind the logo.

Been looking at the thread title for hours and didn't realise it was my thread

Communitiy Driven Question and Answer site - You ask questions about anything you like and people respond.

Very early stages atm!

Well, for atm, that seems to be a pretty good logo concept. I admire the concept of connection-slash-Venn diagram art. I'm really up for the second logo. Nice one
