Required: Logo/favicon
Designers wanted - post them here, sexiest wins (I am rather partial to a green unicorn riding a tickmark btw!)
I could help out here too, but is this basically just a logo competition? I personally would like more information from you. Do you want this "logo" to be purely graphical (icon), just the words (wordmark) or a combination? I understand the favicon has to be purely graphical; just unsure about the logo. Sorry for the questions.
Don't be sorry for questions!
Hmm, good question: "logo competition". I'd like not to think so. But then I'd like to think the logo with the best chops would be used. But what defines "best". I guess I started it with "win".
Honestly, I'm a developer who has no design background. I know what looks good and works, but I couldn't tell you what to do.
What do you think? :)
I'd like to take a stab at this.
Would you say this is a scenario where a concept needs to be produced quickly, and then iterate on it, or are there a few days to flush things out in more detail?
Okay, I'll see what I can produce for you, and just to be sure, you're kidding about the unicorn riding the tick mark, right :P
After working some ideas in my head, I think the best approach would be to focus graphical efforts on a distinct, yet simple icon that displays well at all sizes while still communicating the intention of the application. Then, just have a wordmark that utilizes a simple, clean font that's used when the situation allows.
With all that being said, here's my first quick mock-up: http://cl.ly/E8NP. Keep in mind it's just a proof of concept, not yet fully "designed". I'm just after feedback and to have something that helps initiate a dialogue.
Here's 3 different concepts, guys.
Remy, I was not sure either if your idea of the unicorn and checkmark where serious, but I didn't see a reason to not try. I will typically not apply color to a logo (or to anything) until I am not sure the direction is the right one off the black and white sketches.
If you dig any of them, I'd be glad to iterate to a few more variations of it: http://rephlexs.posterous.com/
I said this on twitter, but I should add here too: logos with unicorns: awesome! :)
Just saw the tweet (well obviously a not 'just'.. ;)) and thought I'd join in: http://bit.ly/ygYjcl
Cant let it go now.. here's a slight adjusted unicorn: http://bit.ly/unicorns_ARE_awesome :)

It's a shame I'm in the middle of writing my dissertation, however it'd be nice to submit something for this. I will try and get something uploaded before Tuesday. :)

Hi again,
here's my submission: Updated, see below comment.
I'm happy to iterate on it if you'd like any changes. :)
Edit: I shall iterate on this, I've had an idea to lessen its 'srs bsns' quality. In before rainbows and unicorns?
Meet Puni, the cssprefix unicorn: http://bit.ly/ytCsoZ and the construction of: http://bit.ly/wqMO6J
This is the result of whittling down a couple of pages worth of sketches, I hope you like it!
I'd love some feedback. :)
I like it! Simple - cute. A bit too cute for my taste though :)
Would work far better as a favicon than your first submission..
You guys heard from Remy?
That beeing said - I just saw my pony wasnt as favicon'able. Made a few adjustments: http://bit.ly/unicorns_ARE_awesome
Very cool - love it. I really like both styles actually.
I've been reading around some of the Node.js issues I'm hitting (in particular with making the thing scale properly). That said - worse case, it's just a downloadable tool - it still does the job.
Unless anyone objects, I think we can decide on one icon now.
I'm going to put my vote on the green one, partly because it also gives us a quick palette for a simple site.
It's really had to chose one too - they're all very cool (soooo much better than anything I could do).
- Remy

Wish I could've had enough time to sit down and really crank on this. Oh well...
@KimDolleris Nice job
@Remy If I can land a hand with anything in the future, let me know.
I added the construction outline to my initial post: http://bit.ly/wqMO6J
@KimDolleris Thank you, and congratulations. :)
Thanks guys! :o)
