I must say I had exactly the same two impressions. I'm not a designer nor visual communication expert and I definitely don't feel competent to rate logos, but probably most of the community isn't too, so I decided to write my 2 cents. I must confess I don't like Larry's work at all (Larry, please don't be offended! :) ). For me it's still far too much complicated. Yes, the story behind is nice, but for me (as I said I'm not a proffesional) an ideal logo contains one shape and one colour. For example, Apple's logo is a good logo. For that reason I strongly prefer #50. It's not ideal still, but it's a completely opposite: simple, clean and tidy. And - what is also important - it refers to our good old colours and - in quite clever way - to the old shape. Of course you can find #50 too cold, or too corporation-style. Well, for me it's just proffesional and it's not a disadvantage. I guess with the two logos we send completely opposite messages: - "We're cool guys, we try to make nice things" vs - "We're a proffesional GIS" and, after consideration, I prefer the second one. _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
