Just finished making a logo for Transmission.  Let me take you through my revision process.

I first started with kind of a retro-ish look.

transmission_rev1

Then I kind of toyed with the radio tower idea in the Transmission name for a little bit:

transmission_rev2

It was OK, but I still wasn’t loving it.  So I went in a different direction:

transmission_rev3

Then finally I settled on a logo I liked.  Kind of coming full circle but with a more modern look.

transmission_logo_full

I’m definitely not a designer and it’s pretty simple, but I kinda like it.  Let me know what you think!

We also have a forum set up for questions.

As always, the code is hosted here.

    Hi, I’m from Singapore. Although I am an average Flex developer, I took it as a challenge to improve your logo if you don’t mind.

    I’m not a logo designer but fairly good at modifying picture into a Web 2.0. I don’t mind to give away my design for your project for free. Let me know what you think.

    James! That’s awesome! I have been bested for sure. I’d love to use that logo for the project. The only feedback I have is if you could add a second ‘i’ right before your ‘o’ graphic. Thanks for taking the time to do it!

    Oh, sure I will update in a few moment. However, would you might to do me a favour? I would be appreciate if you could write a tutorial on how to get a USB midi keyboard sent to AIR 2? I want to develop an application and recording a wonderful Bosendorfer grand piano.

    If you fine with it, you can email a sample code that could also detect keys up and down. Even after passing my advanced Java module in school, I forget what I learnt except AS3.

    Sorry for taking too long to reply. Here you are: http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3729/transmission.png

    Thanks for the updated logo! Here is some Java code that will detect all Midi events coming from a USB keyboard. http://www.jsresources.org/examples/MidiInDump.html. In the DumpReceiver.decodeMessage(ShortMessage) you can use Transmission to notify your AIR app that a key has been pressed or released.

    Hope that helps.

    Yeah, I’ve read that site too but it is a bit difficult for me to create a music score with musicxml spec. I guess I can work on it. Thanks!
