No decision was taken as to whether we should move to a new logo, improve the one we already have or keep our existing logo just the way it is. What we’re planning is an overall refreshing new look for our websites, including the main website, the blog, the forums and the community website. We’ll organise contests and seek the best look and feel for our websites in the near future, but before we do that, it’s important we know what we want from our logo going forward. With this in mind, we organised a contest on our logo.

An artists called Vast improved our current logo by adding contrast to it, more depth and a silver look:

We were also impressed by Lazar Bogicevic, who designed a logo which retains our identity and is more workable/handy for branding than our current one:

Our logo is our identity and it’s not easy to change. A long process and reflection is ongoing about this as to whether and when we should switch and/or improve our logo. We acquired the copyright for both designs.
