Nobody but the font designer owns the font, assuming we think different is a bit funny and far fetched. I was just saying, and you sorta seem to agree, that because he was already using the font in his designs, you are stepping on his creative toes, just as if you were to choose almost the exact same text layout and simply stick a star in to make it "your" creation.. Regardless of your intentions sir, the results are the same, and you aren't being honest about that.

I beg to differ! I'm highly educated, so those 'accusations' (tee hee) are actually based on alot of education and that makes you wrong. Even worse, accusing me of being uneducated, based on your misinterpretations of my statements, makes you appear, atleast in my opinion, just a bit less street-smart. (How's that for a scathing insult?) Honestly, your design really looks like option E with a star and a swoosh added to it. Nobody would falsely say that's the case unless we know you or have some motivation to make stuff up.

Don't we all? Where would the internet's vast collection of flame wars be without everyone adhering to that simple principle?

I'm half-tempted to come up with a really crappy logo design and append it to this post, because I'm so blatantly off-topic and begging for moderation.

Ahh what the heck, it only takes 5 minutes!

Now 420wrx...

Lets take it easy on this little boy. He's much to young to realize his mistakes. And we must encourage him to become honest with himself first, then and only then will he see the errors of his way.

Peace, Love and Harmony to all that don't cheat. Misery, pain, and misfortune to those that do.


Bxm,

Your still in school so I forgive you, but the professional world is not going to be as forgiving.

A word from the wise... Don't burn the bridge, because someday 420wrx might be your boss.

Aaaactually.. You can count on a garbage in, garbage out, response from anything computer related. I was just replying to your insult, and I was only stating how your post changed my personal opinion of your "street-smarts". I did not overstate it as a fact or anything more than opinion. I suppose I also pointed out your error on my educational background, and while it may be insulting to be wrong, you claim that you will "always let someone know when they are wrong". Can't fault me for that can you?

To be truthfull.. If you honestly meant that I'm artistically uneducated, you would only be partially wrong.. I took 3 years of elective art classes, and won several awards each year, maintaining a "grade" equivalant to A+. After that I took 2 years of CAD/Drafting courses, which caused me to fall in love with mechanics and computers. I have taken a few local 'community' courses in 3DSMax and Photoshop, helped draft out some furniture and additions for buildings, but the most "professional" use of my skills has been as a level designer for Quake/2/HL, and creating some web sites. So while I do know a fair bit on the topic of graphics/fonts, you are correct in that I'm not a "professional".

Keep in mind though, it's honestly not what the professionals think that matters most, and even though it matters more what the general audience thinks, the most important thing about anything is what you think of it. You cannot be insulted, even by someone drawing comparisions to other people's work, once you realize that.

It's cool.. I've been on the net too long to really take insult, it's getting so bad that soon I will have to work myself up to get a good angry post rolling.

Though I can't believe you didn't like my work! Was it the extra star? I was rushing, I counted 5 but I had 6!

D'oh!

What contraversy? (hehe) Were all one big happy family here.

Honest opinion from a professional Graphic Designer:

- I like the other font better.
- The swoosh is to verticle, making the logo to tall. Make it more streamlined. Rotate it clock-wise.
- I like the swoosh pointing at the .com
- Add the dot within the big star for the i

Good luck and may the best man win!
