It's clean, it's simple, it doesn't have excess ornamentation. Again just like RavenDB.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment28http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment28Wed, 15 Jun 2011 20:23:12 GMT #40 by rickshow Really captures the essence for me.

Simple and modern.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment24http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment24Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:21:37 GMTI cannot choose for you, but some proposals for chosing which to eliminate Do not choose a logo with gloss or gradients - it gets old really fast (such as 53) - i would say a subtle gradient is ok, but the logo should look nice without it. In my opinion, the best logos are simple, and straightforward (61: too much noice, are those things wings? 55: too many gradients, the the drawn bird is too detailed, same with 53). 51 is too heavy. Also important, some of the artists do not know what a raven actually looks like! http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/willow/raven-info0.gif, #60 looks like a eagle?? http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment23http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment23Tue, 14 Jun 2011 09:07:28 GMT#60 http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment22http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment22Tue, 14 Jun 2011 08:20:04 GMT29 my favhttp://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment21http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment21Tue, 14 Jun 2011 06:15:09 GMTI actually like #40 & #39.

Something that has a mood, a feeling to it (sorry, english is not my native language) - raven is a dark, mysterious bird some examples of what I'm talking about http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs5/i/2006/349/0/0/Tribal_Raven_by_DrewTheWolf.png http://www.layoutsparks.com/1/41930/raven-loop-hanging-crow.html http://www.wildravens.net/RG_meaning.cfm?22 http://www.clipartpal.com/_thumbs/pd/holiday/halloween/raven_in_moonlight.pnghttp://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment16http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment16Mon, 13 Jun 2011 20:14:44 GMTThey look basically the same to me, too 'american' - unsophisticated, obvious and self-centered (sorry to all americans who don't fit this stereotype). And deadly serious.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment15http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment15Mon, 13 Jun 2011 20:02:33 GMT#26http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment14http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment14Mon, 13 Jun 2011 14:40:21 GMT#28http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment13http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment13Mon, 13 Jun 2011 14:11:04 GMTWhat is wrong with the current logo? I like it better than any of these other ones.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment12http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment12Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:53:44 GMT#34 - I love the flying Raven incorporated in to the logo, and among all those that do that this is the best one. #31 is also nice because it's very clean and simple.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment11http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment11Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:52:51 GMTamount of money aside, if you want a good logo don't give people 24 hours to create one.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment10http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment10Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:46:00 GMTI don't like any of them. They all look like fonts to me... There isn't any creativity or anything, just... so... generic... I think you should try the gold package so theres more incentive for good designers to come up with concepts. If i HAD to pick from any of the available ones... I would say 28...http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment9http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment9Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:20:14 GMTI'm a fan of #29 myself.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment8http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment8Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:55:46 GMTTo be honest none of them looks like a raven, 31 looks like a angels wing!http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment7http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment7Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:46:22 GMTWhich is the price?http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment6http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment6Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:37:22 GMTI like several of them, but #29 is definitely my favorite. However, it's color scheme is quite a departure from both the Hibernating Rhinos line and the current RavenDB color scheme.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment5http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment5Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:35:49 GMT#31 is definitely my favouritehttp://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment4http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment4Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:07:43 GMTSo far I like #28 the best, but you should try to get them to use the original blue colors (or something close to it). I still don't really love any of them, they are just good.http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment3http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment3Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:06:32 GMT31http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment2http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment2Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:04:46 GMT #31http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment1http://ayende.com/18433/help-us-select-the-new-ravendb-logo#comment1Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:45:41 GMT
