Sorry, I meant 8. Got my numbers confused The green in #9 (the one with the W and L touching, did you confuse the image numbers?) is a different story, since it's from an angle. Not really fond of it though, to visually noisy around the top of the L. My favourite so far is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/drjn54ds3t2rll7/WL-ico-3D.010.png, or #8. Edited: 2015-02-18, 20:54

You mean I'm not the only one?
To help comparisons, I will repeat what I surmise are the front runners (10 is in essence 6 with the shadow plane behind it.) Numbers are below and to the left of their respective image: 8 In 11, I have tweaked 8 a little to remove the green peeking above the top of the L and rearrange shadow angles. 11 Comments please. Edited to add image 11. Edited: 2015-02-18, 22:06

Seems like it Seeing them next to each other, I like the shininess of the original. Can we get some of that? Busy indexing nil values

11 it is for me - all the 3d angles are not beating the simple WL. I like the colors, but they seem very dark compared to the old logo. I think that needs a little more tweaking. Amazing how much can be done/written about two letters :). Then again, the logo is super important.

I agree.
Yes it is. It is the graphic calling card of Widelands to the world and worth every minute and word invested in it. We'll try a little shininess, too, Gun. I see little people.

11 mostly looks good, but the upper-left corner of the W looks odd. I'd either shrink the hole or add a bit of shadowing so the part around the hole doesn't look completely fused together. Or both.

Meanwhile, here is my latest crop: 11: Click for white background old 13 14 15 Taking cautious steps progressing from one to the next, in 13, I gave the L material a reddish cast similar to the original. In 14, I added a spot lamp to provide subtle highlighting to the upper half of the logo. In 15 I increased the specularity (shininess) of the W material. Of course, size ease the easiest to adjust. I'm going to work on 15 in response to DragonAtma's observation I see little people.
