I finally managed to slap some pixels together earlier today and came up with the first attempt at a Technophile Logo. Actually, I'll be using it as buttons for the browser extensions I'm working on for Technophile (yes, they're in the works right now!). And here are the 2 versions, in their full splendor:
The typeface used for the "T" is Courier New as that is deemed the official Technophile font. I'll be using the first one for high-resolution purposes and the second one for smaller buttons since the PCB-like background in the first one doesn't scale down very well. It may not seem like much but I'm pleased with it so far, especially considering i'm a newbie to GIMP and Inkscape.
In other news you might have noticed a few buttons popping up all over the site this weekend. That's because I've been working hard on beautifying Technophile and improving sharing capabilities as well as integration with various services. The RSS link has been replaced with a neat looking button. There's also an iGoogle Widget for every blog as well as a mixed one for all 3 blogs available on the Home Page. You won't find the iGoogle Gadgets in the iGoogle Directory but you can safely add them from Technophile.
