Re: Logo Proposition for VelocityTools
Hi Claude, Thanks for your suggestion. However, my harddrive died and I am unable to change the logo until I find my old photoshop CD, which might take some time XD. I'm going to email the dev for voting on which logo looks the best. If more people like the design that you like, I'll recreate it.

Re: VelocityTools Logo Voting.
ok, here's my vote... 1) First draft, I didn't like it very much: http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools.png Having now been much influenced by my wife's thoughts :), this would now be my favorite if it were in the colors of #2, with the word Tools in thin font (again like #2). 2) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools2.png if i must pick from these exact options (no changes), then this is my favorite. 3a) http://s226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/?action=viewcurrent=ApacheVelocityTools3Solid.png 3b) http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/shadowpwner/ApacheVelocityTools3Gradient.png If you don't like any of the logos, please speak up so I can hopefully design another one that you think looks good. :) a blend between #1 and #2 would be nice, if you're up for it. :) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
