First thanks for the work, it looks great. >From all 10 icons in this round, my personal favorite is copy 3. I like the subdued Z graphic, and the name of the project being clearly visible. If I had to change a couple of things, I would try: * using lower case instead of small caps: this is the way I think most people see the string "zsh" in their daily life. * using italic, so that "zsh" slants the same way as the stylized Z, giving a sense of forward motion. * Maybe I'd try extending the bottom horizontal part of the stylized Z and have the string "zsh" or "sh" rendered over this extended bottom Z leg. Scuse' the ASCII graphics and wrong aspect ratio: o---, / / zsh / `--------------o This is what I don't like about some other logos: * For logos 6-10, I don't really see "zsh" initially, just "sh". It takes an extra step to think about or see "zsh" in the logo. Maybe making the stylized Z smaller would help here. * I think number 4 is too dark/heavy. * I don't like the font on number 5, just a personal taste. * I don't like the bottom vertical alignment on number 2, it doesn't feel natural. * In number 1, I think that "zsh" all lower-case would work better than the initialed "Zsh", see first bullet above for the rationale. Thank you again for the great looking logos! Phil.
