The three buckets.
Not crazy about the font, though. No suggestions, however, since I'm in the same boat as you, design-wise.

Definitely Logo 2. It has a nice impact as soon as it appears.
Use the best guess

I kind of like 2 myself but "Ink" that bold seems a bit much. could be just me.
I recently Changed my logo too but now don't have a site to put it on

The three buckets. Ink spilling all over the place is not somethimg that would instill confidence in your product.

#1 for the reasons mentioned prior, and not #2 for the reasons mentioned prior. #2 reminds me too much of that creepy evil black inky thing on STNG that had a crush on Counselor Troy.

I think PJ Arends has a point but I prefer number two in any case, it could be seen as that you have more than enough.
You should stylise the bucket more to make it more clear. (And make it an old-fashioned enamelled steel bucket at the same time instead of a cheapo plastic one.)
I don't like the change of weight between INK and Bucket But that's just a personal opinion.
INK and Bucket does not have the same baseline, it drops a couple of pixels. That's a bigger problem

Second for me. I don't like the CYM buckets , they somehow look both too bright and washed out against the white. Also, it'll date more IMO, and it'll be harder to turn into an emoticon. The second one conveys the company name better, but you need to sort out the kerning on the word bucket.

The 3 buckets, but with better handles... it is a great idea. Simple and clear.

#1 - no reason, I just like it.

Hi,
I like Logo 2 the most. What I would try (Just to see if it looks nice.) is change the colors of the letters just like Google or Ebay do, I think it's a little to much red in the Logo right now.
One other small thing I noticed on your webpage is that it states: Ink Bucket Ltd © 2010 and I would change that.
With friendly greetings,

Make a survey next time?
1. One bucket spilling ink
2. Three colored buckets
3. Take your sleazy ink selling site and shove it
4. Bacon
5. CListCtrl
I like the single bucket.

BTW, you are aware that the fonts are different sizes and that they don't line up, aren't you?

I just upgraded my DevExpress WinForms subscription to a DevExpress DXperience subscription - with source. Why? I am working on learning WPF and Web Development, and I am trying to get away from WinForms. It may take a while to be approved (Huntington is kind of slow on things like this sometimes), so I may have to wait a day or two (or three, or four, or five) for the purchase to be approved so I can download.
EDIT: It only took about an hour. That was unexpected.

Cool. If I had time to do some web stuff in C#, I would definitely use DX -- overall I've been very pleased with their WinForm controls, my only gripe being that sometimes it's very time consuming to figure out the nested layers of properties to get to the property I want.

Yeah. The way the WPF controls have to nest is rather difficult to wrap your head around (e.g. BarManger->DockingLayoutManager->LayoutGroup->LayoutGroup->LayoutPanel, and it gets even deeper). The WPF RichEditControl also cannot use a BarManager/Ribbon that is already there, it has to create a new one (Annoying). From what I see, there aren't as many themes, and fewer controls. The 'Smart Tag' system used is also very confusing sometimes. You also cannot assign the name of a control to a property, e.g. RichEditControl.BarManager cannot take the name of the window's bar manager. And the Properties window will only create a new bar manager.
Overall, I am not really impressed with these WPF controls. There are a lot of issues that make them very difficult to use quickly.

Howdy all,
I'm about to start a series on Javascript development, for the life of me I cannot work out what the category is for it - under web development section there's HTML/css, but no JS - there's no JS on languages and I want to get my articles in the right place.... any ideas?
|

Ah so you ran into that old chestnut!
I have raised this before in Sugs and Bugs, but nothing was added (ok it was along time ago now!)
The best fit at the moment is Web Dev - Client side, but with Javascript moving to the server, that is even no longer a reasonable fit, maybe moving into the Web Service domain now.
Under the Languages section there is also no JavaScript.
|
|
|
|
|
OK so I'm not missing anything then! Alright, client side it is (for now) but like you mentioned, that's going to not cut it when I move onto the Nodejs articles!
