This is reduced color palette as far as I can see. Well.. I stop bugging, I guess it will work out sooner or later.

That would be really great. Thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you for all the work.

How about something like this?



thanks to tigre who posted the image of the headfones.

Looks good!

Yeah, I just meant this particualr styled one, I have the high color one at work.

Very nice! You guys are good!

P.E.R.F.E.C.T.

way more clear ... the best ... ever

PS: but hjust with sony's

isn't it way more clearer the second one? or is it just me? of course the sony's headphones are better, but i mean only the text ...

I agree about the second one. However, if the text is going to all be in front of the "wave" behind it (which I prefer as well), then perhaps the "wave" effect should be a little more prominent. It's almost hidden by the "Hydrogenaudio" text completely in front of it, yet it's a cool effect and should be emphasized a little more.

I also agree that the Sony headphones still look better. Who cares what Head-Fi'ers say about "V-crap". It's just a logo...we're not recommending headphone models with it.

The thing that appeals to me about this one is that, with the way the headphones are orientated, the headphones are inviting you to snuggle (for want of a better word ) into them. With all the others they just look like they're hanging on a rack or something.

Yeah, also the first one has only 8bit colors while the second one has 24 bit colors.

Dude, you are completely obsessed with the 8bit issue

Wow, I'd like to change my vote. This one looks very classy, and yet still retro.. thanks a lot sgreen!

My favorite.
I love those big letters.
I am also a big fan of "futuristic retro" looks.

I like the idea of not concentrating on Headphones as a 'must-have' element.

Discussion about electrostatic headphones split here.

Well, I've only been on these forums for 2 days now, but I'll give submission for a new logo.





Any comments are welcome.

James

I think it would be a shame that a logo would be picked based on it's product placement

I'm torn between:
Armeck: (sony headphones, text behind the wave), Tumu: (first submission with slightly larger text) & Sgreen


Perhaps pick all three and have a little random number generator to pick the logo at random every day, they're too good not to use

All looking very sweet... to be honest I don't really pay attention to the logo at the top... but I guess we need to make this site at least cool enough for the masses...

I will see if I can whip up something just for the sake of contribution...

There are so many beyond good logo's here... someone needs to set up a dedicated page with all of them, for ease of looking at!

I vote for Armeck (Wave over text (although maybe have the wave make slightly less impact on the characters), Sony Headphones), Urmel's 2nd, Ruairi's 4th, and Sgreen's


Mac is damn right. I vote pick the best 7, and have a different logo each day of the week. How cool would that be?

Hey, guyz... headphones are not for audiophiles.
I suggest to check the Yamaha NS-10 studio which are considered "the reference" worldwide.




...or a different inspiration:

Yamaha Oldschool :B

damn, there are quite a few nice ones now - but keep 'em coming!

First attempt
(damn geocities)

Atlantis: Check your URL.

SGreen: Stunning logo! I like it.

Assuming there is still enough time, I'll do another logo later.

Ruairi

This one is cool. It has kind of a "technical" vibe about it...almost like it might be found on the cover of some sort of audio technology manual.

Of course, I also like the logos by Armeck, Tumu and Sgreen.

I think by the end of the month there are going to be too many good ones. The choice won't be easy.

Rob

I hope you let this 'competition' last atleast a few more days, sofar the outcome is far above what I expected. Very nice work everybody!

Or at least long enough for me to get my idea in!

My logo attempt

I like this
I suppose it's because of my electronica obsession, when I see this I "hear" Kraftwerk or Underworld or Orbital or....
Don't know why, I just do!
Good work larppa, you get my vote

Edited: Sorry, I got your nick wrong the first time.

THis is the best

i like these headpohnes alot better, 'cause i got 580's myself, but also then angle of the headphoens is much better to my opinion..

Would you you consider making logo for my site :-D

i still like the second one better ...

my contribution would be a 32bit ie hack example which was made at some point when talking about png stuff here at ha:
http://users.volja.net/smoker/pub/32bit_pn...png_ie_hack.zip
(to make such images work on ie as well..)

i like armeck's sony version as well.

I agree with kwanbis. I really like the second one.

Here's mine.

Edit: I'd appreciate if someone with reliable webspace could upload it and either post it as image here or PM me the url so I can insert it.

here are all the links ... but i'm not allowed to post them all ... maybe some admin

Sheesh! If it were up to me, there would be six logos at the top of the Hydrogenaudio forum pages!

My vote is currently split between the submissions by BuzzInMyEar and tigre, but I also really like the ones by Sgreen, armeck, tumu and larppa. All of these look very "refined". Whoever judges this contest is going to have some tough choices.

Great work, everyone!

here is another one ;-)




-ty1er

Right now , I like this one.
But there other I wanted to see improved first , before saying wich is the best I like,
I would also would like to see some more tweak at this.

This is my favourite so far, for the simple facts that it a) does not include headphones (come on people, be original - reinventing something old is boring) b) looks very *professional*. The text could be a bit bigger and the elements arranged/placed differently to make it look more like a banner, but apart from that it's perfect.

Lol..
maybe we can have rotating logos?

Like a 1 in n chance of displaying a different logo each time we visit the page

Theres some serious hidden talent here
... and I bet someone got paid some serious bucks to come up with the crappy 'msn logo with butterfly'

Perhaps they should rotate on each reload. I'm not a big PHP guy (yet), but this is what I usually do with server-side includes and c:



..Of course this code doesn't benefit the discussion any, and really just seems like I'm tooting my horn. Shame on me.

Well.. as I wrote in the first message, the original plan is that there's time until the end of this month, so 3 weeks or so.

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....=post&id=150516

thx for the positive feedback - i will try to find some time to tweak my submission a little. the tagline text looks a little crap, does it really have to be there? (bloody y and g - maybe i'll try caps) - looks like i missed an apostrophe as well

theres been lots of great submissions, good work fellas! that said i think there should be just one logo, instead of a rotation system. imagine if your bank sent you statements with a different letterhead each time. i think it's important for a site to have a consistent image

i especially like larppa's logo which is a pleasant departure from the headfones idea. i think i would like it better without the lens flare tho?

even better maybe ha should have no images whatsoever, fb2k style. infact forget about interface and html i rekon a massive text file would do the trick (joke!)

I love it exactly what I thought of...

This looks really cool!

Here you go:

http://rarewares.hydrogenaudio.org/logos/

Here's yours...

I must add that I like it very much.

edit: damn! beaten by a minute
