It now looks a little too anti-aliased. Plus, the slogan is not that cool. | |

Tahoma, 8pt, bold 4lyfe.
In all seriousness, the logo now looks like it was designed by a 12 year old who just got introduced to his older brother's warez copy of Photoshop. Then again, it always did, so *shrug* | |

And as justin  said, suggestions and improvements are encouraged. | |

| The first example in Justin's post
 does look better, in my small opinion. The previously new logo's "DSL" part overshadowed the smaller print. It's easy to look past. It's probably "bad" enough that the URL contains DSL, but to have the logo give more weight to it, adds to it. And I'm not a DSL hater  | |

3 edits | said by Alcohol :It doesn't make sense. Broadband dslreports.com? How so? The logo is simply advertising the URL (dslreports.com), while Broadband is displayed above the URL to define the website. This is a broadband website, not limited to DSL. Cable, wireless, FiOS, satellite, etc., have nothing to do with DSL.
The logo is probably not solely used on this website, but also used in prints, advertisements, links, etc.
One would think that you want the viewer of the logo to see the URL and get a good idea of the contents of the website. "dslreports.com" gives the reader an immediate impression that the website is a DSL-only website. | |

Don't see the point in having both urls there unless you add "AKA". | |

It appeared better, in my small opinion, because it shows the standard URL (dslreports.com) and Broadband - the content and focus of the website. | |

I could criticize the current logo for the opposite problem: what site is "reports.com"? | |

| Yup, this site is about so much more than one thing... I really only hit on this site randomly when searching for information about World of Warcraft. Not sure if it was a specific sort of thing and a Google search picked it out or what exactly drew (pun? ) me in.
To be honest I didn't even see the rest of the site until about 2 weeks after I first came here. I'd look at all of the WoW stuff I could get, reply to some, add information, ask for help ... and sign off.
Now I'm posting photos, commenting on various pictures, reading about my at-home local ISPs, and so many other things other than WoW.
I'd bet I'm not the only one, so whatever can get someone to come here is great ... but like anything it's what can keep them coming back that counts! This site has done that for me, and even though I love it, many things *do* need a graphics makeover (such as the logo).
Which, of course, is what this thread is about ... so I'll shut up now.
