I still wouldn't be able to use the AX logo idea. But I do like the other one better. The shade of blue I think is a bit light. It almost looks like a purple-ish on the black background.

I hadn't thought of tying together the A and the X in a full-name logo, so you gave me something good to think about.

Not directed at you, but to everyone: keep in mind that I'm leaning towards keeping the ".com" in the logo, mostly because we'll be releasing a print edition likely early 2007, and I want to make sure the site logo clearly differentiates itself as a web publication.

Thanks!
