14 of this set for me. It's still a bit muted though. More saturation?

I'd take 15. If you could make the notch at the upper-outer-left side of the W a little bit smaller, it'd look (again face-smile.png ) finished to me.

I think 34deg has the nicest colors - can these colors be achieved with the front view?

They are in actuality the same "material" (i.e.color/texture). Only the camera angle has changed and thus the way the light reflects from them. Just as in nature, the subtlest change of viewing angle changes how the light hits your eye.

There are several factors involved in achieving a desired look. Camera angle (as stated), color, specularity (shininess), light absorption by texture (soft - hard surface), and the number of light sources, their angle, color and intensity.

Just as in photography or chemistry, achieving a desired result is a often a matter of titration, small adjustments to the various factors. Ultimately, the knowledge and experience of the composer is what determines how speedily the desired results are reached. (Translation: Hacking is done to more than just code.) face-grin.png

I'm happy to make any adjustments to get a logo we all can be proud of.

I find it difficult to decide between 13 and 14. But I think I prefer 13 a little bit.

I like 30 degrees the most! face-smile.png 40 deg is too narrow and 20 is too flat face-smile.png Nice work!

While the WL logo percolates face-smile.png , I've been doing some doodling.

1 1 2 2

3 3 4 4

5 5 6 6

Click on these to see the sample on a white background:

1 2 3 4 5 6

Quick and dirty concepts. Some cleaning required. face-wink.png

Edited for format.

I like 5 best - the s is a bit too dark for dark backgrounds though.

17 and 5 for me. The angled views are not improving the thing for me.
