Yet another attempt at an Arc logo (bitbakery.com)

I was going for a combination of arches, the letter A, and a lambda. Please excuse the black corners; the app is hosted at Google Apps, which seems to have munged the transparent color when I imported.

I really like this logo. It is minimalist, elegant, and abstract, like Arc.

I don't really see the lambda, but I like the rest. Very dynamic and energetic, and it doesn't feel "forced" into a concept the way some of the other logos have.

Not quite so fond of this one... I still like http://arclanguage.org/item?id=5000 and http://arclanguage.org/item?id=991 better. Unfortunately I can't quite put my finger on why.

But I do agree with the inspiration for the logo.

Best one yet in my opinion.

Thanks for the kind words, although I also agree with the critique from eds. I do think that there's a core of a graphic design idea that's OK; someone with better artistic chops could probably improve on it. In my defense, I'll say that it scales down very nicely to a 16 x 16 icon, which is what I cared about most.

Actually, given Mr. Graham's artistic abilities, I'm surprised he hasn't thrown something out himself, just for fun.

Close, but no cigar.
