And the more you try to make it resemble an 'A', the closer you'll probably get to the Anarchy symbol: <http://images.google.com/images?q=%22anarchy+symbol%22+OR+%22anarchy +logo%22> That said, I do rather like the black-on-white variant with the better-defined particles shown here: http://www.majordojo.com/2006/02/a_new_logo_for_1.php Some suggestions: - It would be much more convenient (given that it's so close already) if the logo's bounding box was square, rather than a nearly-square rectangle. - I noticed that the small version uses a heavier outline for the circle. This is an improvement, and the larger versions should use a somewhat heavier line for the circle as well (although you'll note that in the small version the circle is actually slightly thicker than the crossbar stroke, which doesn't work very well). - I think changing the particles' placement into an actual equilateral pentagon (it's nearly there right now) would give the design more subliminal stability. - Conversely, the stroke widths should be a more dynamic. As an example, see the logo for Elemental Software (before their '99 acquisition by Macromedia): http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/brands/0002/1456/brand.gif Overall, a very good job! - Michael Bernstein
