I also like the colors but I do not mind if we decide for others Thank you - this is nicely summarized. I would like to emphasize: "easy, productive, fluid, simple" On Saturday 05 of March 2016 12:15:39 Lisi Reisz wrote: > On Friday 04 March 2016 18:25:10 Thomas Maus wrote: > > The color triplet RGB was chosen, as it is these colors are base of every > > desktop, uniting to a diversity of colors, forms and impressions. > > I'm afraid that I particularly dislike this.

And in relation to the previous summary from Michele, I add my opinion: treefoil knot is beautifully simple, while triskele is much more complicated. By using a variety of colors in the proposal from ThoMaus logo is too garish. And as noted Lisi, colors very similar to the colors of the Windows logo. I believe that for Trinity suits more subtle colors. On Monday 29 of February 2016 23:32:55 E.

Liddell In your proposals I like connection trefoil knot with gear - figures line 2 column 3, and line 3 column 3. For figure 3-3: You could try to emphasize the trefoil knot before the gear? I would have imagined: that treefoil knot was greater in the foreground and gear with similar size in the background? With colors as figure 2-3 - light treefoil knot, dark gear. Thanks! -- Sl�vek
