I think the stroke and gradient adds to the logo a bit, and that it wouldn’t look as good without them.

- The printed effect is fine (even better than the GIF compressed version). Yeah, I’m doing the Web 2.0 look sort of, but not intentionally. I think the stroke and gradient adds to the logo a bit, and that it wouldn’t look as good without them.

- Yes, I know the MyNT logo looks different. I probably need to figure out a way to fix that sometime. I’ve never been entirely happy with the look of it, but I need something other than an

, and something that doesn’t look exactly like the NTugo logo. As for the forum, I’ve been thinking about getting rid of it completely. The forum arena is crowded enough, and I’ve never had much success in them (I don’t know why I even put one in in the first place).

- The logo says “NTugo”. It suggests movement, dynamicism, “Web 2.0″ sort of.

- You’re making sense. I just disagree with a lot of your points.

Sorry Matt, I should’ve offered something constructive in my comment.

If you remove the type outlines, gradudation and outer glow, the printed effect will be much cleaner. I also think it’d look more professional.

The Ntugo Network logo is quite different from the main site logo, and the My Ntugo logo (with feed icon bands) is different again. You change the size of the ‘arrow’ for the forum logo, adding futher inconsistency.

I guess what I’m getting at is, keeping some form of consistency throughout all your site elements will really help tie things together.

Plus, the less effects used in a logo, the more professional the outcome. When you try incorporating effects into print, you’re up against some tough competition. Think of the best effects you see. They’re in movies, because of motion. Print is static, and can never compete. So an idea is what’s needed to set print work apart.

What’s the idea behind your logo? What do you want it to say about you and your company?

I’m not long up, so I hope I’ve not gone off on a tangent, and that I’m making some sense.

I like my logo. It looks really good when it’s printed on business cards and t-shirts. What do you think needs improving?

As for the favicon, the logo isn’t well suited for favicon-ization, but the element used in the favicon is seen in other parts of the website.

Well spotted David. I hadn’t even thought of the favicon to be honest!

Nice review, Michael.

One thing I’d add is about the logo. I think Matt could improve on it, and also add some consistency between the logo and the favicon (it’s little details that can make all difference).

There. I added a little space between the headline and the tabs. Ah, here’s the article. Took me a little while to find it:

The font has made a big difference I think, and I much prefer the ad now! Wish I could help ya with the slogan, but it’s just not my thing. xD

One last thing, could you leave a little space between the grey line of the ajax tabs, and the first headline? (Just a line). It looks a little packed at the minute. :)

And I’ll have to go find that article! :D
