I have been a Wordpress Developer since the start of my career, and today I will be showcasing a logo that I have made for Wordpress.
The Idea
Upon browsing the Wordpress Admin Dashboard, I have come upon the users page where you can change the theme of the dashboard.
I then came up with an idea, how about I design a logo for each and every color scheme? Namely the famous default, light, blue, coffee, ectoplasm, midnight, ocean, and sunrise.
Using Google Chromes Developer Tools, I got the Hex Colors from the admin dashboard itself
Creating the Design
I used Photoshop to create the design, with the font called Norwester I then created the WP letters which is the shortcut for WordPress. I then created an ellipse shape that would be the base of the logo. I then reduced the tracking or the letter spacing to -200 to make the letters W and P to fuse together. With the color scheme of the default admin dashboard:
Default Color Scheme
I came up with this design.
Color Palette: #0073aa, #23282d, and #fff
Light
Color Palette: #f5f5f5, #888888, and #e5e5e5
Blue
Color Palette: #096484, #52accc, and #fff
Coffee
Color Palette: #c7a589, #59524c, #46403c
Ectoplasm
Color Palette: #a3b745, #523f6d, #413256
Midnight
Color Palette: #e14d43, #363b3f, #fff
Ocean
Color Palette: #9ebaa0, #738e96, #627c83
Sunrise
Color Palette: #dd823b, #cf4944, #be3631
I liked the Blue, Midnight, and Coffee Color schemes. So what do you think? What is the best color scheme? Drop a comment down below to make your say.

Great stuff and really nice to see your process, though I would suggest looking into "why" when selecting fonts, colours and creating bespoke elements.
The current Wordpress logo feels like a homage to the old letterpress process which speaks to the origins of publishing, and these types of considerations really add to the result, in my opinion.
That said, great use of colour and keep up the good work!

Thank you very much for the great comment. Yes selecting a font is also a critical process. As it describes the branding.
I never considered that though, what wordpress is for. Should have included it in the process. But well I wanted to make a completely different design. Thanks again for the comment I will keep this things in mind. :)

Nice pick, Sunrise. Liked the colors of that too. I usually like blue colors so Blue was my best choice.

Good process.
Though I don't like the thickness of the WP intersection. It makes it look optically unbalanced to me. I'd try playing with the vectorized W to improve that a bit.
Otherwise awesome job :).

Yes it kind of thick in between of the W and P might tweak it some more.. Thanks for the suggestion I will look into it :)

It looks very good, but maybe the size between the W and the P, on the bottom, is too width.

I did some really fast edit here, not exactly how it should be, but for some reason, it looks more balanced to me.
