Way too cluttered. Less is more. I'm definitely a web2.0 faggot. But, it was definitely a step in the right direction removing the coloration and leaving only the pieces.

How's this look?

Would you rather it be in Brush Script instead?

I love the logo, but I personally feel like a cleaner font would fit with it better. Maybe a nice sans-serif font, maybe even roboto or something.

Yeah, it's a really good logo, I like what you did, but try doing these things:

1. Make the logo a different color, not red, green, blue, or white. Purple, maybe.
2. In the logo for JAWSH, notice how the Shark has one gradient but in two directions. There's crease down the middle to represent a twist. Try applying a soft gradient and have it turn around the creases so that it's gradient'd like the other logos.
3. Definitely replace the font like Rio said. Papyrus doesn't work ever anywhere.

Really good, really close too. The alternate version is much better but I still feel the logos fight each other, especially in terms of perspective. It fucks you up looking at it because the bull lays flat against the camera and the wiki globe has pitch and yaw and a three dimensional aspect to it. It has to be one way or another.

Since I don't think there's much to be done to the skull, make two complete Globes:
1. One that's like the Wikipedia logo using the same gradients / colors you have now (i.e. built it back up towards the north pole again)
2. #1, but with icons. Just use a black or dark grey, like the Wikipedia lettering. Keep the shapes super simple.

The other issue with the globe is that it's not a good icon at a small size. WP and even ED use a letter for their favicon. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

The stroke of the bottle gave it character, I'm sad to see it go. Here:

Dude it looks good.

Only problem is that it doesn't scale well into the ~40px range. Try making the text and the bottle congruent in height. Have the bottom double-underline around the bottom of the glass, and the tippiest top of the font near the top of the milk as well -- unless you think you can scale it better. I kind of like the dimensions of what you have now but unfortunately it doesn't work at small sizes.

The font itself is perfect. I'll need a few variations of this.

Basically, I'll need six SVGs:
1. The full logo with text and bottle. We'll work out proportions to make it look snazzy.
2. The text with white gradient by itself, canvas snug to font.
3. The text without gradient colored black (a la NYTimes logo), canvas snug to font.
4. The bottle. Make the canvas square.
5. The bottle, but pure black, square canvas like above.
6. Full logo with text and bottle, but black.

Basically I need the Logo Only, Logo+Text, Text Only, with both gradient and flat black variations.
 
Logo is perfect. Drop the shadow on the font, kill the subtitle, and size/position the text like our Kiwi Farms logo -- "Lolcow" on top, "Mail" below and spaced out slightly, both a large font size so that they're roughly the same height as the envelope.

And remember, I need SVG.

OH AND @Educated Stupid, the title is "Lolcow Email", not Mail. It has to match the domain. Sorry.

That's fine, we'll work out the first item on the list and the rest will be easy.

Here, the text and underscores are adjusted to sit (nearly) flush with the top and bottom of the bottle like you asked. Any adjustments you'd like to make before I finish up?

Sweeeet, good job you guys. Anxious to see Spelling Bee's work too because the lolcow wiki logo will probably be the most seen for a long time.

So, something like this for #1?

Or did you want smaller jigsaw pieces like the previous designs?
 
This might be the wrong place for this, but I was wondering if it would be possible to have a "rotating logo", where we have one main logo, and then several lolcow themed variations on it that have a small chance of appearing.

our logo is our brand ok. I might be able to switch out the comics in the bg for lolcow themed ones though.
 
@Spelling Bee Dunno if you're still around mate, but do you have an SVG of that globe? Specifically, the puzzle pieces only + the one with pieces and the skull clipping the pieces.

I'm not dead.
Anyway, sure. I'll look around for them and post them here when I'm not busy later.
