Or still use 4 colours but divide the states naturally based on the boundaries?
One of the things I liked about the logo we had done was the kangaroo. That makes it subtle but obviously Australian. Could we do something similar? Opera house or other shape immediately recognisable overseas as Australian?

I'll overlook my state being divided in two :-) Wondering about the colours though - they're presumably based on the Microsoft logo colours. Would it be better to have them in the same order (eg. clockwise from top-left red, green, yellow, blue) ? Or is it intentional to not do that to avoid legal issues? Or maybe have them upside down as a nod to being 'down under'?

I'll get her to make it all on one line (with and without the .com on the end). I like the .com as then it can be used as advertising. Can always have two versions I guess. One with and one without the .com. We also have ozdotnet.com.au<http://ozdotnet.com.au> and more recently ozdotnet.io<http://ozdotnet.io>. (because some dumbarse thought that would be a much better domain name... sounds geeky) So far option 6 is winning. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of David Richards <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Monday, 10 April 2017 3:43:47 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Logo for Ozdotnet #6 is the best f those presented. Some suggestions: - I think "oz.net.com<http://oz.net.com>" is just unclear. - We probably don't need the ".com" as part of a logo. The actual website can be additional text below the logo on any promotional material rather than part of the logo. - Did you try "ozdotnet" on a single line?

Plan is to put this on the website/forum (if/when that goes up) and make stickers and tshirts available (probably RedBubble). Turn it into something people can promote and get a bit of new blood. Feedback welcome. cheers Stephen p.s. personally I like 06, but have asked if she could have white text with a black outline (to make it easier to read). Also liked the OZ characters being slightly larger. -- David Connors [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | @davidconnors | LinkedIn | +61 417 189 363
