New logo?

Are we really considering replacing the work of a professional artist with something someone half assed in Photoshop?
 
The professional status of the logo creators is irrelevant, IMO. The questions we should ask ourselves are: Do we like it? And is it made by someone in our community?

If we just wanted something made by a professional, I would be happy to consult external people I know, but I don't think that is what we want.
 
I think IS already said something about this, but we should consider how the logo would look at different sizes. It seems to me, thatthe logo above wouldn't look good shrunk down. that is, it might be hard to read.

We should also ask why the creator of the logo (yes, we do like the logo), and several others, left the community at about the same time.
 
I would be happy with just an ordinary logo, like in the Dark Spartan style....

I personally get sick of most logos after a while, especially if they're more complex and arty.
I'm happy with our current one (so I hope that's an option in the vote), but if we must change, I prefer something along the lines of this one from Blobbenstein. :)

Only those who left can really answer that. I have my theories, but I don't think it's productive to turn this thread into a thread for speculation on that topic.
 
I haven't seen Alice's logo for a few months, and just changed the style. It looks better than I remember it. It is a nice reminder of Alice B.

I'm not always keen on peas though, but that's just me.
