hey, now thats sweet! the first one is much better though...

Ooops, i didnt even see that one... Okay to be honest though, the 16*16 (?) version looks really rubbish... It looks kinda cheap, if you know what i mean<

I mean thats just my personal opinion. This logo looks too windoze XP-ish to me in small, i'm more of a mac user, so I'm used to a different style! :D

okay, go on and use the new one then! :P

The big ones look so much better though...

I've noticed you like to criticise other people's work... But it's always good to have someone who knows better than oneself! :P

Not yet, and thats the reason why we're helping!! I think it can be important to have smart asses, because they often spot tiny, but grave mistakes... :D

um... no, i was saying that dreymaR is one! But actually, you're one too!  And so am i.... :P

thanks for clearing that up, for a split second I actually thought you were referring to the asses...lol

I also prefer the first logo out of the others

Another thing worth noting: How well does any given design go with the surroundings? One thing that I suppose put me a bit off the "white chocolate" logo is that I'm using the default blue WinXP theme and the forum has a blue/grey theme that goes very harmonically together with that. If you add warm latte colors to this mix however, it clashes. In another general setting the latte would slide in much more smoothly.

The ideal logo should behave well in different visual themes, and that's not easily accomplished. As a matter of fact, I myself think that the current logo has a thing going for it by being based on the actual symbol you get on your taskbar Language Band in WinXP (and most other Windows versions). Maybe the ideal would be to work from that so this effect were still recognizable while you made it more snazzy?

If you made it not a keyboard key but more of a "rubber stamp", making the letters and the icon itself 3D-like and chunky (gawd, I must be in love with that word these days from the look of things...)? While keeping the general blue-and-white and the basis font so that it's still recognizable as a keyboard layout taskbar icon.

What does WinVista Aero do with the language/layout taskbar icons, if anything? Are there graphical changes? Surely there must be?  :o

Thanks!

There are very few things I get offended by.

Can't we change that too? Well, Shai would probably have to change it, but isn't it still changeable?

I'm actually OK with actual 3D programs (I use Blender and Sketchup). The key was made with Photoshop, so thats why it doesn't look very convincingly 3D.

Aww, so none of you like the smiley face? Its the perfect symbol of being happy(er) with your keyboard/typing skills. I'll admit that it doesn't look very much like a key, but I can work on that.

So, I'm thinking keep the same thing, just change the key to be a light-blue/light-grey color? Furthermore, the face still has the recognizable Co letters...

Ask yourself why ANYONE puts smiley faces into their conversations. It's to convey a human emotion that is so easily expressed and received in the form of imagery.

People don't do things just for the hell of it. They do it because they want it to make them happier. Something that takes a big initial commitment, but a huge reward needs some kind of reminder of what is in store.

Where are you guys anyway? You posted at 2 in the morning my time!

damn... what time is it there?

I'm in the US (Chicago). It's by that really big lake in the center north.

... sorry if you knew that.
This girl that I met online, who actually lives in the US as well, thought Chicago was next to New York.
