Speedsolving.com really should get a favorites icon.

Not that it really matters much, but the "SS" logo may resonate negatively with some people:

Yeah, just cut it out in photoshop. I assumed you would do that anyway.

Paint.NET, actually.

Hey guys, what do you think?

Here's the full-sized image: http://tinypic.com/m/6f5d9l/3

That cube has the wrong color scheme

As does qqwref's original SS cube

@Nukoca good initial effort with the logos, but maybe something a little more imaginative would be better. Maybe think about incorporating some aspect of the puzzles into the text, or using them to give the banner some structure. Think about blurring, exploding, blending etc with the puzzles. Think outside the ... cube (excuse the pun). I think just text with a few puzzles pasted around it is a little boring (sorry if I'm slating the current logo )

WTF are you talking about? That cube had the standard BOY color scheme.

Haha, I must be goin batty. I could've sworn the green 's' was on the left, but looking back I'm clearly wrong, sorry

We can has high-res?

I can easily change colors, spacings, and projection.

How did you make that? I know you have an alg page, but this picture seems more detailed than your applet. Can you catch a shot of it it mid-turn? Is it a software that I can download? I'm interested in generating some pictures like this for my next attempt.

Not at all. Thanks for the tips.

i think the 4x4 is a pretty good icon for speedsolving.

i modified Nude Kaka's Logo a bit (using only paint ):

 

[JLarsen]

But it's more than just the Rubik's cube.

POV-Ray.
It is. (Also, not my applet.)
"Catch," no. Generate, yes.
Yes, POV-Ray.
I can send you the source code if you want, but it's not pretty because it's been hacked a few times.

I honestly don't see how, the logos aren't even close besides that they use SS. And if the SS is on a cube & next to the words speed solving, I think everyone will understand we mean Speedsolving.

Thank you! I'm currently taking an effort to bring back the swastika as they were before Hitler!. I mean, if Hitler had used, oh let's say, the cross, We would've been avoiding it today. It means peace people! It's the past! Get over it! Time to move on....

On topic:
The SS+ a background of many different puzzles would be great.

Ps: 卐 Long live and prosper.

I might be wrong, so don't quote me on this but I thought that the sign for peace, etc was like hindu or something and it was a backwards swastika?
As I said, I may not be right, I'm just curious.

Oh and ontopic: I like the idea of a new logo/banner.

NO! The Swastika is a backwards peace sign. The peace sign came first. Don't give Nazi's more importance than peace.

I didn't say which one came first?
If a swastika is a backwards peace sign then a backwards peace sign is a swastika!

I think both directions were used, although I'm not sure saying it is the sign for peace is accurate (even though it was used in a positive way).

Going off on another tangent, I think I have a copy of that Pokemon card with the swastika on it.

What if, instead of a 3x3 or 4x4, we had a 5x5 with the rings design going from the corner. Heres the algorithm to make it like that on Stephan's website. :

Are you still willing to send the files to me?

I'm fairly certain I sent you a PM.
Nevertheless, here. As advertised, the code is extremely bad.
