Jeffry, What logo do you mean? A search on FedEx logo didn't show me an arrow..

The arrow is now stylized but still very recongnizable. The logo gets more 'icon' feel than before. This looks great. >> >> >> Dany >> >> >> >> >> Op 16-jan.-2012, om 20:23 heeft Robert Cesaric het volgende geschreven: >> >>> Dany, I uploaded the designs I as tinkering around with. Take a look at the bottom logo in the second column: http://cesaric.com/apache/flex/Flex_Logo_Designs.png. I think that's the variation you mentioned. I didn't want to carpet bomb the contest with different versions so I forced myself to choose one. I'm torn but if anyone else agrees on that variation, I'll be happy to change my submission. >>> >>> I think a lot of us saw the implementation of using the capital 'F'& 'E" of FLEX as a way of blending the lettering and design together. I wasn't opposed to a lowercase 'flex' but similar to Doug McCune's remark, I couldn't make it work in an enterprise way either. Not that it can't be, I'm just not that good ;-) >>> >>> Thanks for the input!! >>> >>> -Rob > > > -- > Jeffry Houser > Technical Entrepreneur > 203-379-0773 > -- > http://www.flextras.com?c=104 > UI Flex Components: Tested!
