40 Extraordinary Symmetrical Logo Designs | Naldz Graphics - http://naldzgraphics.net/inspira...
We've already posted several designs of logos in the past. In today’s post, we will showcase some unique and creative examples of logos which were created by flipping one side over the other to form a symmetrical type of logo. Logos are called symmetrical if one side is a perfect identical image of the other side. In other words, the image that you will be seeing on the left side is just the same as the image on the right side. It is believed that a symmetrical logo with perfect identical sides provides a calming effect and signalizes a form of stability. Here are the 40 Extraordinary Symmetrical Logo Designs for your inspiration. Take a look at these simple yet effective logo designs. You might find them helpful in your next logo design project. Enjoy!

Most micro-ISVs use a serial number/registration code system to allow end users to unlock or activate their purchase. The problem most of us have run into is that a few days or weeks after our software is released, someone has developed a keygen, a crack, or has leaked a serial number across the internet.

Twitter poll: do you use Social Thing more than FriendFeed? (asked for @corvida who is twitterfasting today!)
Dieter Schwarz, Tony, Mitchell Tsai and 4 other people liked this
not even a fair poll... FriendFeed is open to the public, SocialThing is in private beta... until SocialThing is comfortable enough with their application to actually let people in to give it a fair shake then it really doesn't deserve to be compared to anything. (SocialThing looks prettier from the picture I've seen though.)
- Matt Shaulis
Heck no. And tell Corvida she is cheating! Twitter by proxy!!
- Sarah Perez
Sarah, that's what I said ;)
- Colin Walker
I don't. I liked it at first but friendfeed is more useful to me now.
- Phil Glockner
from Alert Thingy
No, I use FriendFeed 99.99% of the time.
- Mike Reynolds
50/50 Socialthing for posting and FF for reading. i don't exactly know why.
- Oldengrey (Jay)
FriendFeed wins out.. SocialThing has yet to catch up on services supported and I love the ability to follow ppl not using FF!

SocialThing will catch up very quickly with their deduplication system that is soon to come.

FriendFeed, hands down.
- Brad Stevens

FF, but I can use ST to easily watch all my Flickr contacts.
- Russellreno
FriendFeed because of their first mover status, they're not 'private beta', 'founded by ex-Googleers' gives reassurance that my minor time investment was wise
- Pat
from Alert Thingy
socialthing has a slightly different approach to social aggregation. SocialThing acts as more of a tool to aggregate all of your social networks, while FF is about picking John and Jane Doe and watching *everything* they do.
- Jake Russo
Friendfeed wins hands down. SocialThing is broken.
- Shannon
from Alert Thingy
Friendfeed wins, period

freidnfeed is better , forget social thing
- Mila Frerichs
from Alert Thingy
I have to say that I use FF more than Socialthing, but the latter is a MUCH cooler tool.
- Tamar Weinberg
friendfeed became much much more valuable when it became an alert thingy air stream, so when will they acquire it, they have the dough, they need the technology ala seesmic/twhirl air.lifestream arms race!
- ben barren
from Alert Thingy
Absolutely FriendFeed
- Roozbeh
I use both FF and ST. And what I really want is actually a combination of both.
- Araceli
Social Thing doesn't have any advantages that are helpful over FF - and it is all about the social graph - more people are here...
- Tony
from Alert Thingy
Agreed with Sarah Perez. No twitter means no twitter! And no, I don't use socialthing as much as FriendFeed, by a long shot. But I don't think the two services have the same goals, either.

Now if someone could just combine a FF / Twitter Adobe AIR app -- making sure that tweets weren't duplicated -- that'd be super! Otherwise, it's annoying to feel compelled to run both (and no, I cannot convince all my friends on Twitter to sign up for FF, nor do I feel like creating Imaginary Friends for all of them).

Twirl has not has issues, it just happens to rely on the twitter api being up, which is the unreliable part. As long as the FF API can keep up with demand an Adobe Air app that works as good as twirl would be sweet.

@Voyagerfan5761 yes they will. We think it's ok to ask for a bit of PR if we are giving you an app free. What do you think?

I would prefer to have the "via Alert Thingy"-tagline independent from the comment itself. I second that request.

- Jeremy Baines
Of course, some of us might feel that reading a few words of advertising along with each comment is, you know, not exciting.

Adding the source to entries and comments from the API makes a lot of sense. I will think about it and take a look at what Twitter does, and come back with something.

nice!

Just installed it. I don't like it (alert thingy)... much prefer the FF interface. But kudos to you on the "remote key" -- solid idea.
- Michael Leggett
I don't think it hides the entries set to be hidden on FF. Anyone else can confirm this?
- Turker Keskinpala
@Turker: I wrote about that this morning, so yeah, I can confirm. It's still showing my hidden stuff as I type this. I think the fault lies with the FriendFeed API, though. So far as I know, there's no indication of hiding status available.
- dgw
Turkey and Voyagerfan5761: I will work on this today. We are not passing the "hidden" bit through to the API properly.
- Bret Taylor
@Bret - can you look at the hide issue.. we are getting the hidden stuff showing in the API
- Jeremy Baines
Thanks Bret. FF web interface is so fast and usable that it is not easy to switch to a desktop application. Nevertheless, good work Jeremy Baines.
- Turker Keskinpala
It really is a nice piece of work, but I find the whole dark/translucent thing too hard to read. I also miss the collapsing of long comment threads (like this one). In fact, I didn't realize how nice a feature that was until I didn't have it and had to scroll and scroll to get to a new comment.
- Chris Johnson
Can someone explain to me, in 42 words or less, why an app like this is better than just accessing FF over the web? Color me seriously confused. I'd try it myself, but I get an error anytime I try to download it (and yes, I have Air installed).
- Adam Lasnik
@Adam Lasnik - Firefox can't handle a lot of tabs (non beta) and I'd rather use Alert Thingy or bTittleTattle then leave FriendFeed open in Firefox. (via Alert Thingy)
- Corvida
@corvida ahh but, FF3 beta is solid and handles a wealth of tabs with great aplomb. :) I've got my eye on AT, but for now it taketh more functionality than it giveth. I suspect with all this attention, though, it will soon giveth a lot more!
- felix
Corvida, or you could do what I do when I want to keep one or two tabs open persistently and easy-to-switch-to (e.g., Pandora): open them in Internet Exploder. What I was hoping to hear was that this Air app offered intriguing / helpful "extras" that one doesn't innately get in the web version. For instance, I use Twhirl because it aurally alerts me to direct messages AND displays all messages to me in chron order on one scrolling page -- something not offered on the Twitter web page.
- Adam Lasnik
@Felix I FF Betas crash on me way more than FF2 and that's more important to me. @Lasnik I don't have IE installed =P Don't want to keep 2 browsers open anways, it's defeating the point in a way. I'm still wasting resources, though I think Alert Thingy is less of a waste.
- Corvida
Okay, just tried it on another computer. Not for me. I find it much harder to read/scan stuff on it vs. the web page.

Thwirl now offering FF integration on AIR

Just installed Twhirl 0.7.9 with FF support. Anyone care to tell me why AlertThingy is better? I'm kinda Twitter centric which is why I choose Twhirl.

@Scobleizer I never spend time on Twitter, I'm spending time on FriendFeed every day.

I've been spending more time on Friend Feed as well. Especially since Twitter has been having issues. ...via AlertThingy

Yeah its true I am really starting to like friendfeed. It makes everything a lot easier.
- Alex Carpenter
Friend feed is FAR more interesting than twitter.
- Andrew Lighten
No, we just need our wearables with contact lens displays so FF could float over reality all the time...
- Jeremy Brooks
Contact lense displays would ROCK!!! =) ...via AlertThingy
- Beau Liening
If I could easily migrate my Twitter people (the ones I follow) into FF easily, I'd use it exclusively. Otherwise I miss too many interesting people to give up twitter yet. ...via twhirl
- Jay Gilmore
Think the Pownce, Friendfeed combo is going to gain speed here
- Charlie Anzman
If Pownce support international characters, it is definitly better than Twitter

Restart your copies of AlertThingy people to get v1.1!!!!!!

@ Dennis - we would love to fix that, but there appears to be an issue with Adobe AIR! - We have told them. ...via AlertThingy
- Jeremy Baines
Much better without the transparency! Do all Air apps do this when you click the title bar?... http://screencast.com/t.... Same thing happens with Twhirl for me. Latest Air on Leopard.
- Jack Baty
nice update. 2 things: can AIR detect if a full screen app is running (like a game) and disable the popups/sound? also, i think the logic in the opaque setting is backwards. when the setting is checked, the window is transparent :P ...via AlertThingy
- keith thornhill
@Keith: I saw that, too, with the checkbox. The full-screen thing doesn't really bug me -- it's just a bit of flickering for a few seconds -- but then I'm not much of a gamer.
