AppFuse Logo - winner is Igor Polyakov! Igor Polyakov is the winner of the AppFuse Logo Contest! I didn't get many votes from the mailing list - but of the 7 votes I received, 5 were for Igor's logo. Since it was my favorite too - I can't complain. Congratulations Igor - we dig your design!

I demand a recount! There was problems with the virtual chad! Ahh.. who am I kidding. Congrats to Igor!!! At least tell us what tools you used and how much time it took to create the logo, ok?

Sorry for leaving this topic without an attention - I was in grave troubles with my PC recently. Thaks for your appreciation. I have made the sketch in my mind first by sorting and considering few words as "fuse, application, launch etc.", grabbed my freehand (MX), designed it there, using pen tool, have applied some gradients and blend effect for the shadow - you know, the tool that makes smooth transition between two shapes, have nested few poligons, and so on. And finally I am exported it into the EPS format that can be placed in virtually every graphic application. Then I opened it in Photoshop, tried to scharpen it, but decided to skip it since image was ok. After that I am exported image to various formats to supply Matt with package of possible usable files. That's it.
