Reworked.
Everybody kept saying that my logo looked like a Macromedia product so I thought I'd have my hand at reworking the logo and make it a little more bulletproof. I've tried to keep the familiar S but work within a framework that gave me more flexibility and seemed to speak to the kind of stuff that I do. I also integrated more green into the logo to really emphasize the brand. I'm confident that I've got that unique look moving forward.
Time to pull the cork out of the champagne bottle and celebrate...
Update: Of course, this was all an april fools joke. As expected, Dan got a kick out of it.

Looks kinda familiar... now where have I seen something like that before? :)
Reminds me of another logo... ;)
Nice bit of simple work on the logo.
Congrats. :)
yeah, that little round 'f' from fireworks ? :)
Yes, this logotype is almost a carbon-copy of Dan Cederholm's SimpleBits. I recommend you a fast bulletproofing on that logo.
Very nice. I think you should trademark this logo ASAP so that no one tries to steal it. Too bad trademark offices aren't open on Sundays; I guess you'll have to wait until April 2 to get it done...
Dude, I think you totally ripped my logo. Don't make me call Mr. Burns' lawyers... ;-)
Does no one realize what day it is today?
Love it!
Jonathan...this really is your most original work yet. Seriously. It's pure genius. :)
Classic.
You decided to make a new logo - good timing! I too created a brand-new, unique logo:

I love it! You may want to add a roof & chimney on the S though... it would probably give it a little more edge and help it stand out even more. Just a suggestion ;)
Lol, nice.
I was looking to change mine pretty recent... but I didn't have photoshop so I had Jina Bolton create mine. I paid lots of money for this!
Snook, you stole my logo. I want it back!
Brilliant!
Wait, wait, wait just a minute! What is up with stealing my logo! I want my pixels back!
Clever. Very very clever. :)
I hate you!
:)
Hahaha, brilliant!
April 1.
I think you should consider taking that award prize winner T-shirt design and make a logo of that one. April Fool or not, but I think that one is really top-notch.
AWESOME!!! Best Aprils 1st on the net ;)
haha nice one... looks like you had some competition lately ;-)
Wow. You're a great designer. Ever thought of offering your services to a logo creation company? ;)
Did you intentionally surround the 'S' with four curly braces; the type found following 'if' statements in PHP-like languages? If so, it's very clever :)
That is pure genious! It just screams "Snook", seriously. The shapes, the curves, it's all so..original! I especially like the simple bits at the outside :)
ps. You forgot to rework your favicon!
And the laughs keep on coming. Hilarious!
It is April 1st, isn't it. That definitely wasn't my first thought when I saw the logo ...
Happy April Fool's Day to you!
I think there is a lot more people who don't get the joke, than we know.
Well, it doesn't get anymore unique than that.......unless you work for Logo Maid!:)
I love April Fools Day!!
Awesome!
(For those who weren't in on the story behind the prank.)
Nice. But you're design is looking strangely familiar to the rest of these...
Coincidence?
This is too good! I never did get finished reading that huge string of comments after Dan posted the screenshot of the original ripoff on flickr. April fools is great.
Ohh man... this joke was good enough to leave up for more that one day :)
Is there anybody here who talks serious? I mean... I saw a bunch of SimpleBits-like logos...
Overworked?
Nice. I got 3 questions though...
How can I trademark a logo ?
Anyone did it before in this list ?
How much it costs ?
You've got an awesome blog. Love the colors!
Hey Jon! I. Love. This. Design. This is probably your best blog theme to date. :D
