They look much better against a white background and scalled to the size of the current logo.

The gradients would work better if you used different colors to contrast. Its harder to make out, personally I would stick to simple bold fonts and lose the gradient to the text fill. Reducing the contrast and possibly raising the brightness on the keyboard background would improve overall clarity. I think the keyboard would look better if it were antialiased.

I've tried using flat colours for the font but it makes it a bit too plain.
I find atleast, gradients gives that little contemporary-look to it.

I agree with Serenity, it looks like "A Hotkey".

Anyway, why does it have to be based off of Rajat's? I mean, his logo's great, but something new and unique would be awesome.

[Titan]

Yeah lol I noticed.
I changed it, seems better?

[Rajat]

That seriously looks good enough to put up right now. It looks nice and sticks with the simplistic theme of the site; however, I do still have one qualm with it. I think it needs some color. Maybe you could add a touch of dark or royal blue?

Unless I'm going to use a patchy 100kb JPEG, a grayscale GIF is the best to use because it's small and has the best-quality.

Actually, what colours do you think would be good and where.
I'm not going to change the keyboard, it was a nightmare doing it up.

Errr... ok, sorry, I don't know much about computer graphics (but I can put an .exe in one! ), I was looking from a real-life perspective. I guess if I had to choose an exact place where color would fit, I'd say just make the arrow and text gradients blue-based rather than grayscale. A rich, dark blue is what I'm visualizing here. Anyway, it's just a suggestion, play around with it however you like.

Looks great Titan .

[Titan]

Heya jonny, see the blue one above?

[jonny]

Abso-freakin-lutely perfect!



*ahem*

[Titan]

I tried doing something like a ying-yang colour border with the text but it looked silly.
I also tried doing a 3d type zoom in thing, looked terrible.

Any ideas or leave them as they are now?

[jonny]

I stand by my earlier statement.
