Frankly, I don't like it. The current logo has the
advantage of
looking *alive*. The new design looks plastic and dead, the sunflower
is less recognisable.
I agree, although I think it's because the new version uses less vibrant
colours than the current; it could gain a lot of 'life' from upping the
saturation and putting some texture back into the flower centre. I very
much dislike the red one; almost unrecognisable as the flower.
Is there a problem with our current logo?
Can we have a swear-box for whenever someone says "please volunteer don't
donate your time to X because it's not-broken-so-doesn't-need-fixing"??
While I'd say having the logo in vector form is very desirable, even if it
weren't that's still no reason to try to dissuade someone if they think they
can improve something. By all means argue that their modifications are
*not* improvements (currently, I agree with you, although I think it has
potential); but even if you think they're wasting their time, it's entirely
theirs to waste.
