    Default WebHostingBuzz Logo

    Hello All,

    For some time, we've had some people think our WHB logo looks like UHB. It is actually a W (in that font face), but we were considering re-working it to make it look a bit more like a W.

    I've created this poll to get some wider ranging feedback. Business cards for everyone in our team is an expensive print job!

    It looks like a U to me. I take it as a W only because I already know the company name.

    Yeah, I like it, but it looks like a U with a diamond

    I voted not sure because I want to keep out of this. I do not want to get involved as it can get political.

    Wouldn't keeping out of it and not getting involved mean that you shouldn't have voted at all?

    I thought it was a U when you first launched it, I only knew it was a W because I knew about the company.

    I'm hardly a font expert, but imho the sides of the w would have to be diamonds also in order to make it a w. Or the line in the center would have to match the sides in some way.

    True but I just wanted to be famous.

    As for me it looks like U really.
    Furthermore, once I received a ticket with screenshots, which were named UHB.

    On the other hand why do we have a full company name under abbreviation on the logo then?

    Still, I voted for U

    Hello All,

    It looks like "W" no doubt at all, so I voted for "W". Besides I like it, very stylish

    It cant be ''U'' it's so understandable it's ''W''
    Look at the photo ''W'' is like this:

    http://i38.tinypic.com/v7wlmb.jpg

    ''U'' is thike this its so clear.

    D'uh, yeah I think people know what a "W" looks like. The fact that, so far, 73% of respondents indicate that it looks more like a "U" means that it isn't conveying what WHB intends.

    How about changing the diamond in the W to match the H and B?

    how about a logo design contest?
    The winner gets free hosting! :lol:

    dlwhited's proposal looks better and is logical "design-wise" than the original. Just my 2 cents.
