Nice job Carlos! Designing by committee completely sucks. I'm not opposed to the idea of a contest. I would vote on criteria that includes these basic criteria:
- forget about Fx or anything close to Adobe identity - no apache feathers - simple, impactful - needs to work as line art (black and white) - effective gradients can work in a non line art version (note html5 logo) - works at smaller sizes - consideration to "works as a square" - word mark approach preferable - I need to "connect" with it in some appropriate fashion - Randy On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 5:48 PM, Dave Fisher <dave2w...@comcast.net> wrote: > > On Jan 5, 2012, at 3:35 PM, Douglas Arthur wrote: > >> +1 this idea.
