Have sat on the sidelines for some time on this, but as it is off season and there is not a whole lot going on, I thought I would add my reasons for supporting, YES, supporting the current logo, bevel and all.
1. The attempt to "pop" the T is effective. So much so, that it has draw both supporters and detractors, as the saying goes, "love me or hate me, just don't forget me." One for the bevel.
2. Graphic Art is still an artistic realm many of us more engineer minded should allow to happen. Hence the "artistic license" on many things that don't make sense from a pure scientific review. Want an example? Try impressionism. Hell, look at dadaism. (Better google that one folks) - it is a commentary on art and it is down right weird. Still, I like some of it and can appreciate that artist see things we can't. I'm glad they do, because, without them, this would be a boring world, where everything looked beveled correctly as you have so graphically proven with your analysis. I would say that it WAS your analysis that made me think you had it wrong. Let the art stand on its own merits, I can't think of a greater tribute than all of this talk.
Art is not subject to the laws of physics. This logo is art, like it or not. It has transcended into more than a logo, by the very discussion we are having about it. How many of you have been to an art show and seen something you think your dog could crap better? I know I have, but that crap made me laugh and it occupied my mind for a bit and that is the value of art. If you think all art must be approved in order to be accepted, you are going to be disappointed. Art by its nature is free to all interpretation and some art is never fully considered.
Clearly we have considered the "bevel" and I am telling you now, you sir, have ensured that it will remain.
-GIG'EM!!
