I'm fine with that. But please, burn that monstrosity and make a real rectangle! (Why not just the arrow without the head?)
The rectangle is skewed in a perspective giving that extra dimention, maybe if I put a drop-shadow to it you'll see it in my view. If failing that, I'll use a [simple] rectangle. Thanks for all the feed. keep em coming.

Ps. I'm not on my computer so I'll do it later when I get back Cool

It's either this one, skull-ghost-type-thing, or Moe. Very Happy

I still don't like it very much. Do you still have the old arrow version? If so, just truncate the "head" and scoot the text over a little. I'd describe it better, but I'm not very visual. Confused

Do you think the arrow should use it's old fading gradient or keep the colour scheme (and font) as the current rectangle Question

I'll display all four versions so people can choose.

It's too harsh as it is now. Definitely something like the old one, which was light and transparent (much like the current logo).

Now that I see it again, I think there's no reason to go to a rectangle. The arrow's just fine. Does anyone else think this has developed enough by now to start a poll?

It's really annoying, you never get the images to look the exact same on your canvas as on the web (yes I do know about graphic export compression).

I'd say they're final unless somebody gives another good suggestion...

I think the keyboard just looks old. Who uses a two-tone keyboard anymore? Don't those just scream "I weigh 20 pounds and am especially useful for bludgeoning people..."

Perhaps Titan's new keyboard (which is less two tone) and the old AutoHotkey would look good (if you already had it that way I'm sorry I missed it). The Blue/Black is bruise-like, and it looks too dark.

Why so many for "none?" Not to put down Rajat, but we seriously need some change with that logo.

I haven't voted in this poll yet but I think I slightly prefer Rajat's original logo because it is so bright, airy, non-intrusive, and yet meaningful-at-a-glance.

I'm open to changing the logo but I'd want the decision made by vote. Thus, if anyone creates new logo(s), or wants to get feedback on designs/layouts before they start making one, feel free to start a new topic+poll.

Ok my final ammendment in attempt to make it seem 'lighter', rectangle grayscale v2.
If push comes to shove I wouldn't mind seeing the current logo for another year or so; some people like change and others don't I suppose Rolling Eyes
