phosphorim - Hackeriet

Did some polish, the outer box is 1:1.618, aligned the grooves on the wrench and added el.res. symbol.

variations and smaller sizes

(also with the fist vertical)

Should be mostly self-explanatory. Main (and only) points are

-raised fist clenching spanner

-last two fingers forming an H

Pros & Cons

(+)H, for Hackeriet

(+)"spanner in the works" as a neat hacker-mentality subtext

(-)very "analog", focused on the physical side of things. The wrench/spanner kinda works as a universal indicator of hacker mentality, though.

Very cool logo! The one with the resistance symbol was the better one, btw. :)

A few questions...

Is it possible to "reshape" the logo so it would fit nicely in a golden-ratio rectangle?

How about a version that actually spells out "Hackeriet", with the H in the fingers as the first letter?

Would it look better if the three stripes ran along the center of the handle? (for symmetry)

Keep going! :)

questions in order:

yup.

thought about it, and some people might have trouble reading it as anything but "ackeriet", unless I write them in the same style, and that feels too cartoonish. But yeah, sure.

yeah, this is just a quick sketch made in one night, if it gets some push I'll clean it up, balance the wrench in the fist, and align those three lines. they're niggling at me too. ;)
