We have a logo!

We hit a huge milestone this past weekend. We have our final loopnote logo (the logo hasn’t changed much, but the colors are now different)! I can still remember a few months ago when we were just trying to come up with a name. That seems so long ago now. I think we probably had a list of about 30 names we were seriously considering. Some of the finalists were buzzminder, flymodo, buzzlert, alerteeo, zoinkr, notifly and heymoto. Anyway, I couldn’t be happier with the name we chose and the colors our talented designer came up with. Loopnote felt lighter and less app-heavy than some of the other names. It also felt different. I think there’s already too many flickr, cast and eeo sounding names out there. And when it came down to it, loopnote is really what this is all about; Notes that keep you in the loop.

We also just saw the logo for FOX’s new “the loop” show. It’s eerie how similar it is to our logo isn’t it? Well we’ve had our site and logo design up now for a couple months so I don’t see it being a problem.

And what’s going on with the site? Well, right now we’re finishing up the API and starting to update HTML using our final color palette. I expect we’ll release a preliminary beta to a small group in early April. We’ll invite around 50 people and find out what they think about the site. More to come, stay tuned.
