Yep fair enough.  Long may bad taste prevail, though I suspect you're a latent bad-taster for suggesting them in the first place Julian!

Hang on a minute, RMs post refered to the one on the right being the AP logo and that's the one I like too. How come you're promoting the one on the left now?

Tony the  turncoat? pah ;D

Hang on, that was meant to be on the right of the image pointing left - just to clarify, I like the RIGHT HAND ONE OF THE TWO!

It was, is and will be, to people with more than 50% of their screen in use!  Still think they are both bastardisations of an originally good idea.

In all fairness I've become quite attached to the logo we're displaying at the moment, it's only really the font spacing that feels a bit wrong (mainly around the r of powered).  It is beautiful in its simplicity and I don't think we need to square it up as such.

Also, as only ten members have bothered to express an opinion on a logo and half of them are mods, I guess it's safe to say that most members don't care so lets just choose one and use it.  8)

I like the red / orange one that's in use now,
it's simple but yet bold, thumbsup (I didn't use a smiley Julian).

I've fiddled with the font spacing to get it pixel perfect, and re-drawn (and antialiased) the oil drop.
