Kudos to whomever designed that one. And ... looking forward to the new one. Personally, I think your current logo looks sharp(est of all). Kudos to whomever designed that one.

I now have at least one true graphic artist that has volunteered to help me (of course he's doing all the work), so stay tuned :) @Mark Interesting idea.

In my own mind, I see the big gear of today's logo being turned into a giant G with teeth on the rounded sides- shown at an angle like the logo's gear, and the words 'the gadgeteer' in a similar but slightly 'fresher' font going through it. The G itself would be distinctive, and can be used with the words under it, around it, etc. depending on the situation. Black caps with the G-gear logo in a silvery thread would be cool!

If it's just a text treatment, it really won't go out of style. Although, I still love gears :) As for the Gadgeteer Kid, he's not mine ;) Dave Rees wrote the LEGO post. @Cliff That’s why I really don’t want much (if any) images integrated into the logo.

But please don't spend time working up ideas without emailing me first as I have definite input in what I want in a new logo. :) I'm really looking for something very simple. Other logos that I see as inspiration are the logos for twitter, Gmail, meebo, YouTube, Feedburner, LEGO and flickr. Mainly a graphical treatment for 'the gadgeteer', with just a touch of extra graphics. I actually still love the logos from 1999 and 2002. :) I want to thank the people that have already emailed me logos that they must have created this afternoon… But please don’t spend time working up ideas without emailing me first as I have definite input in what I want in a new logo. :) I’m really looking for something very simple.

Men , women any age group reflecting information in many gadget items (but limited to what you think is best to review!) Could reflect teamwork ageless design and purpose. It that the idea? Do you bring out the "magic" of technology? Celtic roots or Minoan? Have a great time working this out! See no limit to the design!

I'd be interested in giving it a shot. Please take a look at my blog for some examples of my work. http://pierreportfolio.blogspot.com/ While it doesn't really feature any logo work I've done, it does give a good overview of my talents. There is one logo design I feature on my blog but you've got to look for it. Look under the 2009 entries and it should be the last entry on the page. It's a logo for a Christian film company called "Sunday Rising". I fully understand that you might get quite a few responses so I understand if you go with someone else. Still, it's a nice opportunity to try! Pierre Hi! I’d be interested in giving it a shot. Please take a look at my blog for some examples of my work.
