Not bad, but try a better X (the nuclear-radiation-like one could be great) and add the React prefix (i think you can be inspirated by other's disign like the DJ50's one)

HaPpY DrAwInG !

I read through this page and since I like to design stuff and happened to have some free time, I just thought of making some logo.

I tried to stay as simple as possible, yet making it recognizable and remarkable in a way people could identify what this logo stands for.

I hope you find it useful/interesting. Of course I still have the original Photoshop file, so I might be able to change some things.
Why I use PNG? Because it has a per-pixel-transparency possibility. The best background however is obviously #000000 (black), since the ring and the letter are both white.

I hope I could help a little.

hi divstar, thanks for taking a interest in ReactOS!,your logo is different from the rest but i can see where your going with it,its quite good.

^^; Thanks for the reply. I am willing to modify it if suggested. Originally I wanted to do something similar to the "ReactOS" logo in order for it to resemble something of the original Logo.

Maybe the reactOS-Logo along with an X instead of the sphere in it might be a good solution for a logo. However I am not even up-to-date if a logo is still being searched for.

Further I have to confess to not really know much about ReactOS/-X, but I think I am going to give it a try soon

with best regards,
divStar.

Actually, fresh ideas are more than welcome in terms of graphical designs. Sometimes a new idea, one not rooted in the old models, is just what's needed. So go your own way and see what happens.

divStar & divStar: nice, nice

Btw: wouldn't it be better to have a vector-based logo? You probably can adjust it on vector-design.

Well i'am just thinking of a real cool demo to show of ReactX. Let the nuclear warning sing turn around the atom in oposite direction.

just be careful with the colors and shapes we don't want to copy from MS...

I think your ideas are nice, but the R should dominate the X in the image. People are really pushing for React to be included in the logo, but its not really necessary. Even the R could be dropped. Take that rotating pair of electrons from divStar and put it with the nuke logo and you might have something. Remember, folks, its a logo not a title.

We could be like DirectR.
Anyhow, I think the X's things or what look like pineapple slices should be a bit thinner.
And it looks great.

well .. I must confess I like the other ideas as well.

Concearning the remark "Remember, folks, its a logo not a title" I'd say: the logo has to be scaleable in a way, so that you have a "complex" version, then a really easy one you could use as a header in a letter and then one that is even good enough has a 32x32x8bit icon.

Basically my idea of the logo was the "complex" one. I agree that having a vector is much better since you don't have real dimensions then. I gotta look into it if/when I have more freetime again.

Another idea might be to really get away from the big X and have ReactX written like .. in one line and having some electrons or something "rotating" under it.
