Alternative logo proposal

Alternative logo proposal

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi!

I wasn't subscribed before, but got aware of Luis's mockups via IRC. 
While I think there's a lot just done right on the website mockup, I see 
issues with the logo proposal.

The G in parens concept is fine, but the weighting could be better. Even 
then, a G that is all round on the outside is hard to make harmonious 
... and to keep at a far distances from Google's new G. Then in the 
lockup, where one paren has to step in the background, the concept falls 
apart, to my eyes.

So here's my (first?) proposal, still inspired by Luis's work:

Thanks for proposing an alternative.  I rather prefer Luis' logo which I
find perfectly harmonious.

Also, this G looks like Google G one too :)

The point is that this G would not be used in/as stand-alone symbol, as 
that part would be taken by the horned parenthesis ;)

Hi, Thorsten.

Thanks for proposing an alternative. I don't like it though :)

P.S.: I love the Ardour logo you made.
