Brianstorms, Retrievr'd

So everyone's talking about Retrievr, a new "search by sketch" service that helps you find images within Flickr.

Supposedly.

I decided to search for the letters to the word "brianstorms". Hey, if it came back with something cool, I'd use it as the logo! Well, maybe.

So I set about sketching in all the letters:

I sketched in "b". I sketched in "r". I sketched in "i". "a". "n". "s". "t". "o". "m". Here's a composite of all the letters I sketched:

Each time I then grabbed the first image that Retrievr offered as a match. I reasoned that "first" was the leftmost image in the top row in the list of image results.

So, here's the new "brianstorms" logo, after it's been Retrievr'd.

I dunno. You tell me. Which is better, that, or the original logo?

Nice try, but I think I'll stick with my version. :-)
