OK. I asked our resident designer (I work at a web-shop type place) what he thought. I have to say that I really like frostypaw's design, particularly with the obviously crossing trails. One of the things that was pointed out was that the "Home" in "Home of Poi" looks a bit like the "Home" from "Home and Away". He was also saying he thought that the logo was perhaps a bit small compared to the text, and that he would probably make the text something very simplistic like, for example Helvetica Bold.

Another thought that occurs to me is that perhaps the "and fire twirling" text should be the same length as the "Home of Poi(tm)" text, so the name is in a sort of block.

I vote for benders
it rocks
and it has llamas

a little suggestion could you make the white poi head the little disembodied head from the left top corner with the poi swinger holding onto its long tongue.
either on fire, or with fire shapped blood spewting out of its severed neck

and more llama, maybe the other poi head could be the magical black llama discussed sooo many times on this site, but never captured on film.

Yeah, bender's one kicks ass

What's the guy doing in those other pics anyway?
his planes are stinky, and isn't he about to tangle his poi right around his neck?

He he... I like the lama.

Seriously, so far I like no 1 and 5 from frostypaw's list, slightly leaning toward the softer font of no 1.

I would do my own concept, but it would just get too complex, with 3D models and moving parts... I get carried away easily.

But Bender's is pretty cool

I like bender's idea, thats cool.

I like the little person thing inside the flames. Looks nice.

But still it's missing the colour pink

Hmmm...Bender's concept is great, you could even incorporate the Yling (Danger and pain) with the Ylang (Safety and Responsibility)...But then it might start getting overly complicated.

As for the site logo, I still prefer Frosty's ones, expecially the request to keep the "and firetwirling" the same length as HoP.

But I'd also like to ask if we can keep the chunky original Home of Poi font for the HoP, but the helvetic for the "and firewtwirling".


I just really like the way that original font does with the letters in "Home of Poi". It is very easy to read but also unusual and kinda funky.

In my opinion...

I think the new logo's cool, maybe a little too much going on in it but the way you've changed the atomic sign a little a put it round a person is great! :-D Maybe uniform font and underneath would be good? Oh and the original colour of the atomic sign would work well cuz it looks like spinning fire trails anyway
