Re: LOGO: Joomla!-Windmill
While you probably had a different intent, when I think windmill I think wind, and therefore chaos, disarray, disorderly... etc
something which Joomla isn't / doesn't want to be ...
Could be reading too much into it of course..
Color too bland for my taste... looking for something sharper.

Re: LOGO: Joomla!-Windmill
Hello all,
For me a windmill is very powerful (wind force not chaos or disorderly), elegant and simple in appearance and flexible (rotating).
All this Joomla! is representing isn´t it?
sharper? like this?

At first glance, this one makes me think of a kitchen supply company. Like for chefs knives.

the purpose of a windmill is to harness the chaotic power of the wind. It brings some semblance of order to an unordered element...manojo wrote: Hello all,

Good idea. It could look like an eolic generator, maybe by making its arms more symmetrical, maybe by adding a pole it would be fixed to.Custmguru wrote:

Re: LOGO: Joomla!-Windmill
I think it would be "perfect" if the arms didn't remind of knives at all.
And for that, I would smooth the edges so that they look more aerodynamic.
This is one of my favourites!

Re: LOGO: Joomla!-Windmill
Probably I like your logo just because of that!
I also like what it stands for: clean energy, power, converting a great flow into something useful (community), but it also points in all the directions, as kind of an inviting gesture saying 'everyone is welcome'.
I just like it!
