See here.

Yes, the pixelmedia logo served me as an inspiration and I was wondering what font they used. The "g" in Precious Sans Bold is rather ugly though, so I'm not going to use it. Thanks a lot for helping!

Wow, Timo. That was quite impolite. Have you realized who the designer of Precious Sans is? Hint: The one who identified it FOR YOU!

"Yes, the pixelmedia logo served me as an inspiration"
Dude, looks like *very* close inspiration. Are you affiliated with them?

Oops, sorry, didn't mean to be impolite here. Of course I like the font, why else would I ask for its name.

@altaira: Are you kidding me? I can't see any similarity between the pixelmedia logo and my version, except that both contain pixels. What's wrong with that?

Webdesign Hamburg

I wasn't meaning to attack you Timo. But I must say that if I saw these two logos, and wouldn't know what either of them is, I would in fact assume these two companies are affiliated, without any mean thoughts.

1) In both logos, the central idea is how the pixel mark plays with negative space
to "reveal" the initial letter of the company's name.

2) Both logos include said pixelated mark; the company's name in all lc;
and a subline in all UC.

3) The layout / order (Anordnung) of these elements is extremely similar.
The pixel mark appears on the left; brand name to the right of it, more or less horizontally centered; subline below that, flush right. Even the size relations
are pretty similar.
If you think of the gazillions of ways the individual elements of a logotype
can be arranged, this similarity in layout is surprising. Have you tried laying out your logo in a different way? Making the pixel mark larger, centering the brand name under it – or any of the numerous other options out there?

4) You're obviously also trying to get the type to feel pretty much similar as in the original, which needless to say does a lot for their "visual closeness".

5) From a copywriting perspective, the subline follows the exact same logic (Design / Web Design), which probably makes these two logos feel even more like being for two subsets of the same company.

6) It doesn't help dissuade the notion of overt similarity that you chose very similar colors to the original logo (dark blue background, white type in the brand name, and the same color for the most part of the pixel mark and the subline, thus tying these two elements together).

I'm just suspecting you may be glued to this "inspirational" logo too closely. Break free, play around! The pixelmatrix logo is nice, doubtless – but you're a different company.
No offense.

I have actually done customized styles of the family with more 'normal' g's.

Hey, Nick it's your [g], why should you "apologize"?
Besides, what should Ed Benguiat do, after all his late 19th century [g]s? :P

Besides it's >G-type<, right?

I'm not apologizing :^)
