Of the options presented, I think the new 3.0 version most brings to mind a rocking bear. It’s still tough to be OK with a new logo, given that pixie boots is beloved by our team partially because Lucas took the time to make us one — but it seems like not accepting a new logo created by the foundation would lead to Ironic getting less marketing and resources, so I’m not keen to go down that path. With that in mind, I’m +1 to version 3.0 of the bear.
