Well, here's the latest installment of my logo. It feels done to me. Let me
know if any of you have any opinions to the contrary. The only changes I
made were small, fine-tunings. I cleaned up the source code, and added #ifs
to control whether or not to use colors, or highlights and shadows. Using
this added feature, I rendered the 4 images you see (or don't see, depending
on your newsreader) here. The fine-tunings included returning to the
previous pupil, centering it in the eye, and making it a little bigger, as
well as some minor adjustments to the outer curve, including making it end a
little smaller, making the yellow stand out more in the gradient, and making
it end just a few degrees sooner. Oh, I also changed the highlights a
smidgen (not really noticeable) and moved the camera a little too (also, not
noticeable). Enjoy.

Nice you might want to paten those... =)

I especially like the 3D black...

Think you could make a P and a V in that style...?

    Don't like this one as much. Seems a little fatter, more like a owl's
eye than a person's. Plus, now that I have been looking at it so much, it
looks more and more like the SciFi Logo... Maybe if the Sphere was less
'Spherish'.

Lemme think... I could do a P (but it would look more like an "e") and I
don't think the V would work out. So, no.

Could you run that by me again?


BTW, the sphere was 1.75 in radius, now it's 1.8. Not much of a change.

I wanted to ask all of those POV users that frequent this group and also
hang out on the other POV groups on the Internet, be they in English or any
other language, to please post the different logos being submitted here, so
that everyone can give their opinions, then bring back the conclusions over
here. Please and thank you.

Version 4 that is. Please keep numbering the versions clearly. That makes it
easier for people to say what they think is better and worse compared to
other versions... :-)

That is good I think.

> centering it in the eye, and making it a little bigger

I have compared this version and version 2 closely and I think you should
move the pupil up again and make it smaller like it was in version 2. The
centering doesn't look nice.

> including making the end a little smaller

The thin end of the edge is slightly thinner in this version.
It makes the logo unbalanced I think.
I think it was better in version 2.

> making the yellow stand out more in the gradient

I think it is too bright. It makes the logo unbalanced.
Try something in between this version and version 2.

> and making it end just a few degrees sooner.

I don't mind that.

> Oh, I also changed the highlights a smidgen (not really noticeable)

The phong highlight is tighter in this version.
I liked it better in version 2. But now I'm nit-picking!

Also:

The eye is slightly wider (or more closed) in this version. I think that is
good.

And now something general:

You made several different versions this time. 2 different black and white
versions, a 2D color version and a 3D color version. I think that is good.
We could say that the only thing that has to be the same in all the versions
is the outline. That way we could make versions with different colors too.
One version could have the colored gradient, while another could have 2
colors only, like in version 1. What do you think of this?

Greetings,

Rune

OK, OK.

Excellent.

Thinking it over, I must agree. The previous assymetry added a little
character.

Unbalanced? Could it be that you see it like that because you saw version 2?
I'll try a value in between both, to see how that works.

Alright... <mumble> this is what I get for listening to Chris Huff...
<grumble>


>I don't mind that.

Excellent.

The only difference is the eye, and the camera location. Maybe that's what
you're thinking about.

No it isn't. The outer shape hasn't changed at all. I think you're being
fooled by the camera or colors, or something...

Excellent.

That's the idea.

I'm hip with that. I like it with the blue colors, myself. :)

I think the thin end it too... what's it called? slight? slender? delicate?
frail? flimsy? One of the words here ought to be the right... Also, it might
vanish in small resolutions.

Or maybe I'm the one who is wrong and you'll be mumbling over me...!

Hmm, actually it's probably the darker color that makes the highlight
tighter. Never mind.

The edge has changed from version 2 to this version.
However, after having had a closer look I can see that you're right that it
hasn't been made wider.

You're probably right.
