    In my opinion I quite like the Red, Blue and Dark Green (the ones with the Black background) but the silver strokes are too flat.

    If you look at the link you post earlier in the thread:
    http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5065/5661290874_d7bb7514d5_b.jpg

    you can see the effect of the middle one with the outer Blue design bit beveled slightly. Hard to explain but look at the image below. I've highlighted the different between the 2.

    Damn! What a spot! I can see what you mean.

    Some of those colours look awesome, keep the background :)

    There are more differences, looks like on the first the bevel has been removed?

    Yeah, looks like it.

    Who was it that put the grass texture in, I think it would look better if it was completely surrounding the circle rather than just on the bottom. The top half looks rather plain and that's where you can notice the "glass" effect.

    Yeah it's all around but the 2nd one has a bevel so if that bevel effect was applied to the image with the different coloured logos rather than being flat then it would look much better.

    So the bevel should be kept? (Just to clarify, are you saying it will make the logo look better in general, or just on white backgrounds?)

    @JmG: Ive attached a version of the E logo with the bevel, and grass effect over the whole circle. (but i had to lose the Dark Blue > Light Blue gradient effect and replace it with a single color) And i also increased to the opacity of the grass effect layer to 50% from 43% to make it easier to see.

    Let me know what you think.

    I added the grass texture. It did cover the entire 'ring' shape, it's the 'blend' mode that causes it to only show over the lighter gradiated areas.

    How about a touch of the 3D-ish treatment?

    Looks elegant CP, but having all that makes it difficult to use the logo in many places.

    Avatars? Yes. Watermarks on pictures? No.

    Im messing around in photoshop, and i just cant decide whether to add the bevel or not. I thought it might look more elegant without, since the grass layer is more clear.

    Hmmm, this sure is a sticky wicket :D

    I'm just not a fan of 'outer glows'. Especially so when it comes to them being on logos. Crisp and clean edges will always translate better over a variety of backgrounds, whether online or on a T shirt.
    I still like the 3D look above as its given the logo some depth. Of course there's be no reflect, rear shadowing or background.

    Sorry for replying later than usual. But ive been out all day, and when i got back i was busy uploading some pictures to my dads website. (Check it out: Easy Thai House - Home (your logo is also there) )

    And i fully agree with you. In my original post, i stated i admired apple's logo because it could be used everywhere, on any background.

    But on the logo above, didnt you apply the effect to an older version way back in this thread? (I also noticed the glass effect didnt fit, because that circle is a different size than the newer one)

    Yes I did post it previously. Although I only used the jpg you posted as a base on all the ones I've played around with and added the layered stuff on to it. The glass effect was a quick and untidy job so that's why it didn't fit perfectly.:)

    PS: The site looks fantastic, love the colours and the logo don't look half bad too (if I do say so myself)

    Will Enclavean find the true meaning in his logo?
    Can the Graphics people continue at this pace?
