I'm new to this, but upon a closer look, is he going cross-eyed?

penflare said:haha logotivity, nice
Feb. 05 '09
hindmarshdesign said:Wow wow wow ! love this Heeeeeeeeaps.
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:Thanks guys!
haha.. logotivity!.. that looks awesome!
@maximus... yeah he is slightly cross-eyed.. no particular reason other then i thought it gave him a bit of character!
wow.. baldfrog.com is taken?.. is the name bald frog itself being used anywhere???... must check that out.
do we need a website?... maybe... eventually.. hadnt thought about it.

logoholik said:Hmmm, wouldn't want to spoil a momentum, but since it appears that they have tm-ed that name, it might be wise to go back to naming all over again... i would hate to see all the money raised poor in to some lawyers pocket instead of the ones in need... pity...
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:good point.. hows about BOLD FROG?.. "Band Of Logo Designers For Rights Of Generations"... ?
bold in this instance makes more sense the bald after all?.. (& only requires a very minor change!)
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:Now that was express and even better imho. Bold frog? Now back to drawing board and make it bold! :)
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:I can help with domain name (if it stay available for long time lolz) and hosting space (at least for a while, till it brake my dreamhost limits :)
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:haha.. i did think that.. but there is something bold about him.. he has the guts to stand up & be counted.. even though he might not stand too high!
stretching?
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:Hmm, i hope someone form here registered it, since it is not available anymore...
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:@logoholik.. that would be cool.. but i dont want to ask anyone to do more then add the logo on their sites to raise awareness.. you know?.. i cant imagine what we would need a site for although an "about" page somewhere would be cool.. (i did think of asking David for a page on here - logopond - as that way it would bring even more traffic to logopond & perhaps a bit attention to our work???)...
but if you can think of a good reason why we should have a site....
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:dunno... i feel that if we gonna do it, let's do it properly... one day it'll need a site perhaps, or at least a dedicated domain name, dunno... since bold frog is actually registered back in 2002 as it seems, where did you get it was available? :)
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:maybe we can use QuadMachine's naming machine and see what's available? ;) http://www.breadlinedesign.com/naming_machine/index.htm
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:hhmmm could use that breadline.. but bald/bold frog actually meant something!..
Feb. 05 '09
wilsonws309 said:Looks like you're leaning towards a dedicated site, but if you're looking for a couple of pages to get it started, I'll gladly help.
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:someone grab it quick!!! ..please!
so are we all still ok with the logo/name as it is presented?
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:hmm, just investigated boldfrog thru http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://boldfrog.com and it seems it is not live since 2005 and it was only a directory site of sorts from the beginning, boldfrog.org could be the option after all... let me know...
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:@logoholick.. get it in case.. & i'll be happy to contribute if you need...
@wilson.. thanks man.. initially all i wanted was for people to be happy to stick the logo on their site as stated & on page to talk about the idea..
Feb. 05 '09
logomotive said:nido, might be nice to have the type together? so it would allow to add the .org with a bubbles or something?
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:Ahh, Wes, in the middle of my purchase - and now they charged my card... bad timing...
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:nevermind, refund will be reused for something, good thing is that it is in safe hands :)
Feb. 05 '09
wilsonws309 said:Sorry Bojan, I saw Nido's post and rushed. You should get a refund. I'm donating it to the cause, just email me with the next steps.
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:@Wes.. whats your email?.. & thanks
@logoholik.. good effort my man.. thanks ;)
@Mike.. ok.. but whats bubbles?
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said::) Wes, for a starter, until we have final logo ;) redirect it to a forum thread here, we can move this conversation there too :)
Feb. 05 '09
logomotive said:I guess it does not matter as much adding the type together and adding the .org because this will mostly be used as a linking logo.
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:if we're cool with the logo then its official :).. & we can move to the next phase!
I'll write up an about page... & we can start getting the logolink distributed!.. if anyone wants the source file let me know.
thisisnido@gmail.com
plus if you have friends who blog let them know too :)
yay!
Feb. 05 '09
nido said:@Tonfue.. cheers bud! very kind!!.. once i write up the 'about' page i'll post it to you & just set it up:)... email me... & get in touch with Wes.. he has the domain name.. (i dont really know much about web/hosting etc..)
Feb. 05 '09
wilsonws309 said:@nido I just shot you an email.
@Tonfue I'm an wes.wilson at incspring.com when you're ready.
Feb. 05 '09
logoholik said:i'll put it up as soon as it links to about page or some explanation. Cheers all! Good effort! Pond became a true social site as it seems :) David, time to rethink it's growth as it seems branching in new dimensions :)

epsilon said:Re: domain name - consider boldf.org, which is available.
Feb. 05 '09
epsilon said:@nido: can you set http://logopond.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2692 as "As seen at" link for the logo ?

LoGoBoom said:ummmmm...does the frog look rather timid to anybody else? (as in not bold?) I know I'm late to this party but just a first impression.
Feb. 06 '09
logoholik said:Glen, i've had that same thought but i am perfect with nido's explanation. It does look like he's trying :)
Feb. 06 '09
nido said:...yeah Glen you dont have to look tough to be bold you know ;)... he may look timid.. but he still has the guts to try & make a difference.. thats what makes him bold!.. hows that for cornball!

OcularInk said:Hey nido, awesome logo, dude. I like how the one eye is fully out of water while the other is submerged. Looks like he's stalking us. Seems bold enough to me. :-) I'm here to help in any way to get this idea moving. If you need a designer for the site or for the web banners, I can help. Anyways, glad to see you starting this effort and to see so many of us already wanting to be involved. Welcome to the new revolution. :-)

logotivity said:I can help with the website.. Give it some flair with some ajax or jquery.. Let me know..
Feb. 06 '09
nido said:@Kev & Steve.. thanks guys.. we may need all the help we can get so hold tight.. but for now get the logo, add to your site & pick a cause :D
@Raja.. pretending to be a frog dont mean you'll get a kiss ;)
