Great to point out, but isn't that irrelevant?
Knowing tonnes of women might be using the site, many WILL notice it:) For such sites details matter a lot; and getting the basics such as this wrong can get your users to lose trust in your site.

Zaid, it's not about whether people will notice it -- they WILL notice it because it's catchy and memorable. Calling the logo out is irrelevant because the logo works in regards to weddings.

#13The company name looked familiar, and sure enough: it's the YouOS company. https://www.youos.com/ So have they decided the web desktop thing isn't in demand?
I think they wanted to build a specific webapp as a way of learning what webapp developers need. I believe there's YouOS code under this.
From the source, it looks like this is running on RoR... wasn't YouOS re-written using web.py a bit back?

Engagement rings are closely related to weddings. If you polled women about the logo, I doubt you'd get any who would consider it "wrong".
Point taken. If that's the case then I guess there is nothing broken here and I'm assuming folks behind the site did their homework when creating the logo.
I do love the overall site design.

#15I had this same idea about 6 months ago (right around the time I got engaged ;). What is going to set you apart from theknot.com? I don't disagree that you could do it better than the knot but competing what that marketing machine is right up there with fighting Google.
