Actually, I like the final Version 5 design. I agree with others that the “Media” text does not fit the logo at all; I don’t know what it is, but it’s too glaringly different. Overall, though, I do agree that it looks very different and striking.

More than that, though, I think the idea that the design reflects that we don’t work with perfect pixels in perfect vectors in perfect Photoshop… it’s woefully inadequate, but I think it’s brilliant, and a very refreshing change from the spic-and-span designs that everyone goes for in our enlightened Web 2.0 world.

I don’t quite get v5.2 – like 5.1 much, much better. Especially the details in the text – it’s clean, concise and beautiful – and, perhaps more importantly, it actually looks original to me (the preservation of the spikes is nice!).
The 5.2 version has got some Asian kung-fu 80’s-movie style .. And I don’t think it suits you. Definitely a “not-sold” for me.

I prefer one of the V5 drafts.
I first discovered your company with the V4 logo. If your heart is tied to the V5 brushstroke, the placement of “media” needs tweeking. So how was SXSW?

I like the brush strokes very much so. However, the media text seems off somehow, i can’t put my finger on it. But all in all, they were all very nice designs.

Hi,
Version is my favorite because is the most concisely one. I often forgot the name of the website (kommodo? komundu?) but i never forgot the awesome logo especially the “O” and the jungle style.
Greetings

My pick was version 5.1. Sorry the last version just appeared a little too Japanese steakhouse for me.

I prefer both the version 5 drafts to the one you actually decided on, although the brush strokes do look quite sleek. I don’t think it’s as unique as the draft versions though.

I really love the version 4 design. It’s small but at the same time it’s something I notice right away. It makes me think of this site. It’s easy to recodnize too. :)

aww i wish you stuck with the top one of version 5, cept maybe moving that last O back in with the rest of the letters. really liked the original type you created for that one.

the brush stroked design feels too kung-fu-dojo-mt-fuji-samurai for me (im asian so i know what im talkin about here)

Well, reading jaz’s comment, I disagree.

I did some quick research and now I know why I don’t think the other logo versions really fit: because you use those “stegosaurus platelets”! A Komodo dragon simply does not have anything alike. For reference, there’s always wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon

But instead of simply bombing into your comments box, I am currently working on a logo sample that I’ll pass on to you as an “idea”. Might take a few days (due to real-life stuff) but I’ll probably finish some sample(s) within the next few days.

(Gosh, I feel like I’m being so much more constructive again…)
