The images above are not the new ReveNews logo. The new logo will look like this:
The ReveNews guys ran a two day contest at Sitepoint to have the new logo designed offering the winning designer $250 for the design. Rocking up a couple of hours before the deadline I thought I’d give it a quick shot and, well didn’t really think they would go for my typographic self indulgence but then again I was mostly doing it for fun, and fun it was. I might try and find some time to turn this into a full font – thinking of trying to make it a purely mono space font – if only a can find a workable app to do the font hinting in.
All things (on offer) considered they made a pretty good choice me thinks, though the sour grapes in the corner of my mind would like to point out that this is not really a new logo as much as a revamped treatment of the existing logo – but pedantics set aside there isn’t much I can find wrong with it so all the best to the ReveNews gang and am looking forward to exploring the new incarnation of ReveNews.
(logo used to be:

(still think my tag-line is an improvement :)
