I don't particularly like the new logo...BUT...since I didn't have to do any work on it and it doesn't materially change the site I don't care. I also don't pretend to know what is appealing to the generations that are growing to replace mine so if this is a logo that targets those generations all the better.

It's good that the site is staying current and not drifting to the backwaters of the internet. I'm not a huge advocate of change (unless it is in my pocket) but in a general sense it beats the alternative.

I like the new logo, but after seeing Peyo61's version, I have to admit that his logo looks better.

Haters be hating, it's not a cloud, it' four people around their game table.
I for one applaud eye candy, although I agree a two tone logo is a bit sparse. More colour is always good.

Peyo's is better. Thought you were going for a cloud before seeing his. Though even his doesn't speak board games. However his is light years better.... In the end... Who cares.

I realize this isn't up for a vote, but I'm not keen on the new logo and would prefer Peyo's more colorful logo also.

Updating colors and style is one thing... reworking a proven logo into something unrecognizable is a poor business decision.

The New logo is weak and does nothing to convey who/what you are doing.

If you have to explain it ...you have already failed.

I like the new visual ID: give the designer enough time and he will do a great job... it's he's job after all ;)

I hope that the revamp is a work in progress, as the new logo is nice, but doesn't really scream boardgames.

The four colors that were used before helped signify that 'boardgame' feel as they were very much like tokens / meeples.

I do really like Peyo61 / Pierre's version of it, going back to the colors.

Please make this an iterative and transparent process. I am sure the community has a lot of input -- you can just filter through and choose the best contributions.

Thanks for all your hard work!
