I am running a website linuxfloat.org (http://linuxfloat.org).My users said the logo design is not good.I am a programmer and not good at photograhic design.
http://linuxfloat.org/FLOAT.svg is the logo source file(Inkscape).Could anyone help to beautify it? Many many many thanks in advance.

I envision a Tux floating in an inner-tube sipping a drink with an umbrella through a straw. :D

I'm not good at this, but here's something I whipped up in ten minutes in GIMP.:p
Lol, just a little concept art, or something. Just something I had fun with.
Hopefully someone will come along who's good at this.;)
Good luck with your site.:D

That's what you don't want to do :-(
The first thing what is wrong is your font. What you now have is more for a bottle of wine (château hangover)
The font needs to be solid and strong, like linux is.
There is so much more wrong, but i don't have the time to spent talking about the 5 W's.
You are probably good at your job but not in designing. Get one, you need it.
I hope my answer isn't to brutal for you. Designing is a call, as is programming for you.
Good luck huangweiqiu

Before you create a logo, information gathering is a must :)

huangweiqiu, you may take ownership of this logo and do what you want with it, assuming you like it, free of charge.

But if you like it, I can/will make it better without being soo sloppy. lol :P
I was rather careless here.

Another idea, how about like an ice cream float? Cool refreshing and tastes great? Make a logo with tux sitting on some ice cream in a clear cup. You could still add your circle logo to the side of the cup.

The one from post #21 is a good one. May need more contrast - but a great idea, simple, and good implementation. Take that one!

Well, to be honest it's not that much different from the logo you
started out with... And if I were you I'd also use another font
for the heading instead of the one displayed in your screenshot.
