Logo, about box

Hi everyone.

I liked Andy Fitzsimon’s entry[1] to the SVG Logo contest
(which in the
end didn’t win), so I thought I’d try to adapt it for
Batik.  I think we
need two images: one as the logo that will go at the top of
the new
website, and one that can be used as Squiggle’s about
screen.

For the small logo for the website, I came up with:

  http://arc.

and a background-less version:

  http://arc.
mcc.id.au/temp/2006/batik2.png

And this is how they’d look at the top of the website:

  http://a

  http://a
rc.mcc.id.au/temp/2006/logoshot2.png

For the about box:

  http://arc.m
cc.id.au/temp/2006/about.png

The motif behind the Close button in the corner is (a
variant of) the
actual winning logo[2] in the SVG Logo contest.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Cameron

I hope everyone else likes green! My son Jeremy's favorite
animal is
the crocodile and his favorite color is... green! So you got
his vote!

Heh yeah, that’s my one reservation, it’s very green.

So I guess that means you don’t care for it?   The other
colour scheme
I was thinking of was the Apache feather colours.  They’re
quite a bit
stronger than the green, though, so I’m not sure if
they’d work.

Let's just say, I've grown to like green. I'm a pretty green
guy
anyway, so it's got my 'vote'.

Ok here’s some versions with the purple/blue.  I’ve also
put the
Squiggle mark back in:

  http://arc.
mcc.id.au/temp/2007/batik2.png
  http://arc.
mcc.id.au/temp/2007/about2.png

I think that colour might be better—it’s more
identifiable with the
current Batik logo.

Here it is in the docs:

  http://arc.m
cc.id.au/temp/2007/shot2.png

It looks less out of place now.  The last thing that looks a
bit wrong
is that the purple colour is not different enough from the
dark blue of
the menu.  WDYT?

Personally, I think it looks fine, but you could if you
wanted to change
Those menu colours in Forrest quite easily. Either take a
shade from
The 'purple batik' or from the blue-ish squiggle. In other
words, don't
Make the logo more different from the menu, but change the
menu colours
To blend in more with the logo.

This is just a suggestion, you won't know what purple will
look like on
The menu until you try it. The 'unselected' tabs could also
take on a 
Second colour used by the logo to make it fit in even more.
The
Default blue of forrest is fine, but is used on many project
sites
As is and it would be nice to see it venture away from the
norm
Now and then.

I just popped over from forrest to see how you were doing,
and if you
Guys needed any help with it, so shout up if you do.

Happy New Year.

Gav...
