In my opinion, while the thinker is certainly a widely recognized figure, I wonder if perhaps it may be too much so. My mind turns to many occasions when the mere mention of architecture triggers an almost Pavlovian response of the "I like Frank Lloyd Wright" cliche. Now there are certainly people out there who appreciate Mr. Wright's work but I imagine that 90% of responders would be hard pressed to name another architect besides Mike Brady. I too have to admit that I am fond of MissLee's entry. I like the art meets architecture portrayal and find that it has merit beyond the truly charming use of the dog, I can see it as a portal allowing us to see a moment in time or a view from another perspective. I envision the smaller orbs as traveling on a conveyor belt of new portals each a vignette awaiting our consideration and interpretation.

You just have to love that mixture of philosophy, obviousness and irony that this logo represents. Not to mention that it just sorta blends in with the site. Well done to the other authors as well, but with all due respect, I find their artworks a bit too abstract / incompatible. Then again, that might just be me misinterpreting the whole concept of a conceptualist, and quite easily also the one thing that you're actually after - at the end of the day, it's your call. In any case, those are some great artworks and marvellous logos. The Conceptualist v.2.1 by evilponger — by a long mile.

What value does that have to the person making the comment, to the logo creators, to Sal, or to the readers of this site? Anyway, my personal favorite is the first -- its a great logo and it immortalizes something personal to you. I'd remove the side decoration on the circle though - the part with the "bubbles" in it, that makes the logo look like the front of a 2000AD/Judge Dredd cartoon. But it's all subjective and that's just my personal taste. What is constructive about referring to any of the logos as “ugly”?
