Wow looks great! Thanks for the pyramid of debate graphics too, that's a great idea and you executed it well.

I'm going to reflect on which ones I like for a while, and try some out on the development server. I'll message you in a few days or less after we've had time to do some tests and so on to see which fits best and stuff like that. They all look so clean and nice though, I'm very happy. Thank you!

So ignoring the very bottom row, can you now slice those bottom 8 logos in to separate logo-sized files with transparent backgrounds? Then we can try them out and bring them to a vote

By your approval I take it that you prefer the rounded ends and the newer .net.

As SVG files you can edit them yourselves too should you choose for any reason, but before it comes to that I'm happy to prep them.

I think I'm going to change the tails a smidge. I hope it's not even perceptible. The 45 degree bar is precisely the same width ad the letters and outline, but it doesn't "snap" on the grid. The "S" with a smaller tail I snapped-to-grid and it basically virtually the same. Since this is easier to edit I'll do the same. This is less a note to you and more for posterity sake and for future graphic designers (even though this discussion is buried several pages in).

Stay 'tooned.

There are three miniscule adjustments to the final logo. I'm confident that you'd not detect them unless you overlap them in a graphics app to compare to find the minute adjustment. The design now has a perfect 7x3 ratio.

The slight alterations are that I squared the "D" and "T". Unfortunately this makes the "S" and "A" slightly more dominant. I also reduced the tail by one graph unit. To know what that means, the outlines are two graph units wide. It's all very mathematically precise actually on the graph. The bubble is seven times as long as the squares of the "S" "D" and "T" and twice as high, plus the tail makes it a 7:3 ratio. Crazy weird right M7 and D3?

I don't know if you saw this in chat (improved phraseology)...

Is it okay if these are all copyright-free? I'd like to upload them to Wikimedia Commons where they won't allow anything with any restrictions whatsoever. Copyrights, copylefts, etc. On WC it may catch a few eyes - not a lot, but some. If you wish to retain rights that's fine too. It's up to you. Answer in private if you feel like.

I'll never say no to money but all my shared designs are my open gifts to SaidIt and the Truther cause, hopefully for anyone to freely use and riff on, including for banner designs, etc. Down the road if we do merchandise I may wish to create new designs that cooperatively benefit SaitIt and me.

After being banned from Wikipedia for 2017 I came back an posted "porn" on Wikipedia, that remains there in two articles to this day. I can't be a truther but I can be a smut peddler. I'd forgotten but re-found it when looking at my Commons submissions. I thought you guys might get a kick out of it: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fourgy-Inked-Colour.png Love thy neighbour.

I've applied the new logo to /s/DecentralizeAllThings/ and I feel like that CSS is an improvement over the current site-wide theme for readability and ergonomics. The colour differences may seem a little jarring at first but with each colour serving for each function it actually becomes more user friendly. If you read the /s/DecentralizeAllThings/about/stylesheet/ you'll see I still have a To Do List of things I'd still like to address, but I'll have to study the Reddit sub themes further. My day theme needs darker letters and more contrasts for stronger readability. I've asked for constructive criticism but no one cares.

If you ever seek ways to improve things I made some SaidIt Wish Lists: https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt#Wish_lists I'll be updating that as new ideas come to me or that I see and I'll point to it on occasion.
