Title: SMF logo
Post by: Acf on August 03, 2003, 05:57:36 PM
Is there a psd of the logo?

SMF doesn't have a logo yet.  The one you see in the top left is the Simple Machines logo.

Yeah, you need to get that PSD to ACF, so he can make a proper 31x88 sponsor link for my site.   ;)

Don't know about Twisted Sister, but it is definitely a song by Prince - as in (You) Sexy M.F. (I think you can all probably figure out what the M.F. stands for.  ;D)

sure to bring on copyright issues tho.. lol

i'm racking my brains for a simple communications machine (apart from cups+string).. i mean the abacus + see-saw are cool for the 'simple machines' part.. but something that evokes the thought of communication would be cool.

first impressions..

1) looks a bit clunky and bodged...

2) doesnt have 'cool' factor

(if u've read william gibson's new book 'pattern recognition'.. this reminds me of that)

3) Its not instantly recognisable for what it is.


sorry :/

I have actually spent a bit of time digging through pages listing the history of communication trying to find something.. :/

I agree with everything except #3. I think everyone knows what it is.  But thats just me.  And don't be sorry. Its just the first thing I thought of for early communication and simple machines. :)  

Besides I know its not "cool" but I kinda liked it. :D

Cheers.

Nothing like the rest
Separate from the others
Failing all their tests
Can't they see you're different?

You're a walking wonder
You're a metal machine
Look and you'll see
You're a lot like me"
