    I think it's a little ugly – the moon with the gradient. Does anyone else agree?

    Neither are great but I don't think many websites go for a logo design as a brand. Or perhaps they do - ebay, play.com, bebo, facebook et al.

    They either like it, don't have money or time to get a new one, or don't care :)
    I like the boardsmen though.
    I don't bother with other skins, I just stick witht he dull , dry , boring, sterile default

    If only there were some sort of 'community of experts' connected by an 'information network', if you will, who could pool their resources in a bid to provide the Best... Logo... EVA.

    Or failing that we could run a frickin' compo and vote on the results!

    Switch to the blue skin, then you get a cooler logo and the colours aren't as bright on your eyes. :)

    When there was a "redesign" in the pipeline last year (abandoned at this stage) this was the concept logo that resulted:

    logo_2.png

    There was also a revamped menu system that I spent a couple of weeks figuring out the back end of before it was decided that people didn't like the overall design and it was scrapped :)

    Still, some good ideas came from the process.

    Same font, this one was to be used for business cards etc:

    I think there was potential, but the bluey cloudy presentation was kinda sucky.

    Is it intentional that the gamer seems to be a bit fatter than the rest?

    Surely there are some very telented graphic designers on the site that would be more than hapyp to do a new logo. Perhaps get a few to knock out a coupleof drafts and than have the members vote on which ones are best. Possibly offer some sort of prize for the winner?
