Agreed. I like your A it reminds me of Arch Linux. The D is nice and easily recognizable.

I agree with the lighter .net part unless it is supposed to look like an exclamation point, like SaidIt! in which case bigger and darker might be better.

Also maybe the community wants to vote on switching logos, it could be fun.

Thanks! Glad you like my A. I think the .net is supposed to look like an exclamation point. I just want to make sure the .net is easily readable. Either way is probably fine.

We could get it down to 2 or 3 options, then bring it to the community to vote, sure why not. Maybe we could try a couple different colors.

/u/magnora7 /u/d3rr (I do this because only the person getting replied to receives notice. Corbett's site has an option to notify you for just responses, for all new comments on that post, or none, and maybe another. On Wikipedia you can get notified when any page on your watchlist changes. I'd like a default switch to change to be notified about all conversations I've participated on.)

Anyway. There's no wrong answer and backtracking is certainly an option. I say this because you've chosen the older style "S", which ties back to the current logo.

Also, the bubble tail on your selection is not on the right pointing to the right, but it is aligned to slice through the "I" and "D", and sort of asthetically reflects the "A".

I like your "A". I know I thought of it a couple times, but by the end I needed sleep. I'm kicking myself for not including it or some other variants like it.

Along the right column - the top two are the thickest "dot net", then the next two are the next thickest, again 2 of the third, and the last four examples are the thinnest bottom "dot net" which is shrunk down to 20%. I have one more thing I'll try for the "dot net" I think might improve it.

Thus far all of these designs are precise mathematical designs that all snap to a grid. I like the precision and math and all that crap so I often start there and will diverge when necessary. This case doesn't seem to require that. I mention this for posterity and future designers or coders that may wonder.

There are ways to increase or decrease the boldness or skinniness of the font. This would affect the mathematical "purity" which means it technically gets more complicated for anyone trying to replicated it but ultimately means nothing in pursuit of an aesthetic goal which should really be the only concern. I bring this up so you don't think I've neglected it, but also why I like this font width. Further the simplistic consistency is easily applied to other aspects. For example the bubble outline is a one unit width too. I will do variants on the bubble to show what I mean more.

I'd like a default switch to change to be notified about all conversations I've participated on.

Duuude bravo, that's totally a missing reddit feature. So I guess this means if you are person A and person B replies to you, and then person C replies to person B, you want a notificiation? Aka all comments that are a child of your comment should notify you if you opt-in to it.

I like one up from the bottom right, and 3 up from the bottom right, I guess the boring less styled ones. And the one magnora likes.
