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.
