I just knew it existed but didn't use it. I only started using it about 4months ago when I entered the world of blogging oh and how things have changed since then. I have learnt so much!

The RSS logos you designed were simply outstanding. Keep it up. I also blogged about RSS day, and was amazed by the unique logo concept. The RSS logos you designed were simply outstanding.

Once I update to the new wordpress 2.5.1 I will have another go at fixing it. I never tried the mySQL database bit so I will have a look in there so thanks for your suggestions. I also preferred the slight gradient. Jacob Carter, Good to hear your feedback and seeing you back again. I have tried telling my parents about it and boy did it take a while. I will show them the video next time. Beaulys, Yes the colours are different because in the example above it has got a blue gradation going to the centre... it helps with presentation. The colours are the same in places, it is just because of the graduation that you are seeing that. And you could be right about the atmosphere, pink white and grey don't really mingle with orange and blue that well. No worries about the English, it was great! Lauren, Yeah however the only problem I see with it is that most people who read blogs already know about RSS so that is why I mentioned try telling a friend/family member. I just made the RSS Logo from scratch, no tutorial even though Esbens was spot on. Daniel had a post about it calling for graphic designers :) The 1 looks a bit shorter because of the large O or dot at the bottom of it and it was done intentionally. I had about 10 other variations with and without the 0 and having a full 1 and so fourth but this was the best. Maybe I should have posted the roughs. Thanks all for your feedback. Kristarella,

It's a pretty good idea for a blog initiative! Did Daniel approach you personally to design the logo?? Did you use the <a href="http://creativecurio.com/2008/03/creating-an-rss-icon-in-illustrator/" title="Everything You Need to Know About Creating an RSS Icon in Illustrator | Creative Curio" rel="nofollow">RSS Icon Tutorial</a> that Esben wrote to create it? :D Good idea to incorporate the 1 into the logo. It looks a little chopped off (too short) at the bottom, though. Did you do that on purpose?

When I watch the rssday website with the Firefox extention "ColorZilla", it appears that it's neither the same blue that the logo in this page nor the same orange. By this fact, the logo colours of the website is (still in my opinion) more visible, more "percussive" (except the sheen effect on the text, anyway...) than the logo on this page. Maybe is it due to the "atmosphere". The logo on rssday website is completely in a blue atmosphere, and this logo is on a white page, this can explain my discomfort, I don't know. Anyway, that's not a disaster ;) In an absolute way, the only thing I dislike is the graduation orange. PS :Sorry for my bad english ;) @Jacob Cass :

Very clever idea with the 1. Simple and effective. To me is seems a bit funny how we all talk about RSS and use it, but there are so many out there (even avid internet users) who are still either unaware of it or just haven't figured it out yet. I love the idea of having a day where multiple posts and conversations are dedicated to spreading the word. Sounds fun!

I use Vienna, although in the last couple of months I've also used Google and NetNewsWire and I think they were the same. I just had a look at my WP settings and your FeedBurner page (i.e. http://feeds.feedburner.com/justcreativedesignblog), but I'm sure you've tried everything I could possibly suggest (like the options under Settings>Reading). There's always trying something drastic like changing the settings directly in your mySQL database, but you'd have to make sure you got every instance. On the other topic: I like the gradient a bit better than the solid colour one (not usually the case either). Good work! Oh, weird.

I chose orange as it is the identifiable colour of the official RSS logo. You can see a non colour graduation version on the rss day website... what do you think when you compare both?

I have tried to fix it but it won't budge so not sure. What feed reader do you use? Some people get full feeds but I know Google doesn't which is frustrating.
