What I see in this one above, and I reckon it's accidental... It might look good with an internal drop shadow to give it a sort of bevel effect.
Using black borders is an interesting idea.
Could the above symbol be the letter 'D' in the full title?

I don't think shadows in a logo look particularly good. The bottom banner I posted could look cooler if the text/arrow had a thin white outline maybe, but Paint.net has no tool that does that as far as I can see so someone'd have to throw it on in PhotoShop or something better.
It's really just about choosing the right colours/style for the right banner, though. The top two work pretty much fine on busy banners, whereas the bottom one would look ace on something less busy.Last edited by toythatkills; 22-08-2011, 17:56.

It's a question of subtlety. You don't really notice the shadow, it's just there to add some relief for the background. Colour variation also works, shadows just make it easier as it's there in the file and less fiddling needed by the designer to get the exact shade or hue.
I like the half-transparent looking grey one above. Also, with some transparency on the logo it is less oppressive.
Would like to see more variations from Boris's one. I understand the text positioning referencing old computers, but it's not so nice to look at.
