Con: I don't think the fading of the blue as done here on the
"f" into
the white "infinity" helps with contrast. I think its even harder to
see the "f" than with the original draft. I would imagine that a grey
scale version of that logo would suffer even more from contrast
issues.
Perhaps giving a liquid look similar to water to the "f" will help. I also think
about
italic handwriting "f" style inside the infinity symbol.
Indifferent: I'm not sure what the overall fade to white on the
right
handside of the overall image is adding. Is it meant to give the
speech balloon spherical "depth"? If thats the idea, there is room for
improvement to keep a better defined edge while providing the 3-d
shading. I have no feeling as to flat 2-d versus simulating 3-d
shading. As long as there is a version that looks good in black and
white. I guess if the logo is going to end up being an svg image, one
could delibrate design a shading layer so the same svg could generate
both flat and shaded versions of the logo. There will be situations
where a flat 2 or 3 color image are prefered over high gloss.
Yes, faded while gives a sense of depth. I actually use Inkscape to
reproduce the logo so it will be logical to make log as svg. I converted
it to opaque png as majority of users still use Internet Explorer (lack
of transparency for png).
