I like the way the site's name is on this one.  I relly think the two words should somehow be seperated, a colon or maybe the pipe "|"

hydrogenaudio doesn't really work as a word! I think the two seperate sound better.

I defined this a bit:
Logo text: Hydrogenaudio , hydrogenaudio or HYDROGENAUDIO (not Hydrogen Audio). This is because we want to stabilize higher search engine relevance in the name, and define the exact form how the site should be called.

Dibrom thinks that using HydrogenAudio still leads to confusion where people write the name separately and thus decrease search engine relevance.

The image is perhaps a bit too tall though, especially for people running lower resolutions.  Might have to get rid of the bottom reflection thing or figure out something else for that to make it fit better.

Unfortunately, the bottom reflection gives most of the illusion of the top part being "shiny" (to my eyes).  Without it, I think it will look like flat colors.

I think there's a problem with armeck's logo.

IE doesn't support the alpha channel, so everything is rendered against a gray background. 

Also I think the logo should be a 256 colours image, because an alpha blended 24bit PNG takes a hell more bandwidth/time for 56k users.

Nevertheless, Great work!!

The final logo doesn't have to be PNG, it can be JPG as well. Only the submissions should be PNG. I wouldn't go for 256 colors at least at this point, and if there's a need for the final logo for 256 colors, we can do that ourselves.

Let's see:

No reflection and shrinkified

You reduced colors? Please don't do that at this point.

like the HD600 in the original logo. The previous ones you used look better than this.

I personally don't think it will look as good if the reflection effect is moved behind the characters -- it'd kind of ruin the whole sort of shiny/3d effect.  Iff armeck wants to give it a shot though, he can.

BAH.  The darn shadow and headphones don't line up, that's fixable though.

I agree.  It's like the jewel on your computer, the text is inside the piece and a couple layers of clear sealant over it, the reflection would efinately be over the text.

for me is totally "distracting, it's like you can't read them well, past the g ... also, if the chars are on top, it should look more 3d ...
