That was suggested before he started this thread. During the time it would take to have a contest, he could get something by certified mail instead of another fax. I think it was wise to change it immediately. It's growing on me.

It looks fine to me Geoff

The "V" looks like an "M" hiding behind the D's.

I hope you'll reconsider the logo contest, Geoff. You'll get the best work out of that.

Like Surf Monkey pointed out, it's plain text with a few nauseating effects added.

No offense to the creator. I just don't think it's fitting for this forum.

It'll take some getting used to, I guess.

I do have to say that my first thought was: Good Lord, AOL bought out DVDTalk. But that's just me.

I liked the old logo....and I think this new logo is alright. I'm not very creative, so maybe that's why I don't think it's as hideous as others think.

All things take time to get used to. I'm sure that after time, people won't be as critical of it.

The fun has left the forum.

Canceling my preorder...

I don't like the new logo.

I will suggest a new one. This one does not infringe with the DVD associations:

Errr...

that looks like [LOGO] VD Talk.

VD Talk?

And I cant find the T-shirts anymore. HELP me.

As it's been mentioned in this thread earlier we did have a thread dedicated to a new logo (this was some time back), and while it did produce some nice logos none really fit the needs of the site. (this was in relation to the T-shirts)

How about

Please help the slow kid.

You probably find it at bargain stores.

The new logo is fine. But, there's no reason you shouldn't continue to solicit new designs. Sounds like there's plenty o'people here who'd like to whip something up...

Read the first page of this thread.

Just snagged me an old-school DVD Talk t-shirt... it's gonna be OOP soon!

That just brings me to cafeexpress. And when I search I find a gazillion DVD site stuff but no DVDTalk.

What am I doing wrong?

My initial impression was...hmmm, something's missing:



Ok, it's not that bad...

OK for some reason clicking on the link didnt work but typing out the url did.
You believe I do this for a living?

why is the old logo back up???

whoops, never mind, went back to the "new" logo after I posted.

Now that I've had some time to think about. I think that this is a real bad move Geoff. If you ever intend to go "bigger' than what you are know (speaking of DVDTalk) I would not flash this thing around on a business card.

Like I mentioned (as did zOOmz and Surf Monkey) give us a crack at it, just don't accept the work of a buddy as something you want to stake the future of this site on...

... by the way, you might want to think about an entire site redesign, you know update the "house." Then maybe you could play with the big boys a little better. DVD Talk has looked the same for the last three years (not that it doesn't work) maybe its time for a facelift...

... my rant is done.

Weird, I had to do the same thing. I just figured it was something on my end.

I saw Geoff tells the DVD FLLC to kiss his *** and we support his legal fees by buying 'ol school DVD Talk merchandise.

Or we can just add Chad's bunny to it.

[I also agree with Goldberg74's rant.]

I agree that it looks a bit cartoony and doesn't really fit the look-and-feel of the site. I will probably grow to ignore it, but it is a bit big and isn't very techy looking...

I can deal with it as a site logo, but I have to with Goldberg74, it's not something I would want on a business card. This site has grown so much, and the new logo, is, well, pretty cheesy.

My 2 pennies.

Carry on.
