I gotta say guys, I think the Dharma Overground logo is not so good emoticon

Thank you for breaking that ice. Aesthetics aside, it's too big, pushing actual content down the page, and takes too long to load. I actually installed an addon to remove it from the page, but it still renders (hiding content) before getting out of the way. I wouldn't at all mind seeing a plain text HTML heading.

I think it's kinda cool looking, but I have to agree about the size. It eats to much vertical real estate on my 13" MacBook, so I've removed it with Adblock: http://adblockplus.org/

That's great. I like it. Hopefully the powers that be will glance at this thread and decide to implement it...

Turn it red and change the text to Overground and wrap the text over the top saying Dharma

Edit -
Kinda like this -

Someone want to do it?

Thanks,

Or, if Megan wants to come up with something, that might be cool also.

Guidelines? Not any, really, but somehow it must fit with the spirit of the DhO.

Well it's done. Want me to prepare a full pack?

You can have it in print format too to put on t-shirts emoticon

What's a full pack?

Anyone else have thoughts on Edds logo?

Thanks for doing this,

A ZIP file containing the logo in a variety of formats, e.g. print and web, vector and bitmap, CMYK and RGB, transparent and non-transparent. These will be labelled accordingly. I'll do a small, medium and large PNG version in a folder called Web, with the small one being available for instant upload to the website.

Sure. We can play with it here and see what people think.

Thanks!

In that case I'll just provide it for placement on the website for now. It's available at:

http://www.personalpowermeditation.com/images/DhO-236x140.png

It's 140px high. In my sample picture of how it would look on the website, a few posts earlier, I moved the site navigation links to the right of the logo to make better use of the page real estate.

If it's well-received then I'll make the full pack.

I actually like a lot of it, simple and clean, three dots which could be the three characterists among the many other references to 3 in religions, the dharma font looks somewhat "computerish" yet not like the movie Tron font, and the upward curve is kinda positive like a smile. The only think that is somewhat off is OVERground is below the line. Seems like it should be above.

I especially like that it doesn't seem zen or tibetian and there is not a lotus leaf to be found.   emoticon

For what it is worth.

The three dots are indeed the Three Characteristics. emoticon
And you are right to spot the tech aspect, as we are sharing tech and it is on the web (tech).
The upward curve also represents a horizon, of which there are many to be found in the dharma.

Re "overground" being below the line -- no, the "Dharma" itself is what is above ground, as we are openly sharing it. The word overground itself is not the object.

I like both of those ideas, and I have some to add I will offer this weekend... The inspiration for me was how can the look of the website be more accessible to women/ a wider demographic.  So I'll post some pics here in a couple days!

I like it Edd....I kinda think the color might be better as a gradient or even possibly embossed or 3d....but I'm just getting all fancy now...
Thanks,
