New Namecoin Graphics Repo

Indo's new logos look fantastic and we should use them.

With the exception of the italicized/rotated issue (I strongly prefer the italicized version, as do both of the people I asked), I agree with Ryan.

Well, the results from Google's survey are heavily lopsided to the italicized version. I'll take another pass and emulate it more closely.

Thanks for your work on this.

Hm, I actually like the rotated version a little better, but I am fine either way.

Yeah, it's like a 60/40 split. Yay for analytics!

Thanks for your work on this.

Thanks for the reality check.

Okay, I gave up on trying to recreate the logos from scratch and used an advanced raster->vector converter. Unless you can dig up the original vector image (I can't) this will as close as anyone can get to a "perfect" reproduction. The only difference in the logo is that N is now properly centered. I can only tell the difference if I switch between an overlay of the two rapidly.

Oh, but as part of my "giving up on recreating the original" I gave up on the shaded version, you will have to rely on existing PNG's for that graphic.

Can I haz vote? I haz vector, too.

Can I haz vote?

No! There are right and wrong ways to go about creating a new logo, we went through this song and dance once and it led to a bunch of mediocre logos. If we are going to switch then it needs to be significantly better otherwise it just hurts brand recognition. We won't have the resources for a proper logo competition for some time so just shelve it already.

I only meant to tweak of the current version so it was easier to manipulate in the vector editor.

I've got enough work on my hands rolling back all of Sudo's logo spam I don't have time for an argument amongst the core devs. I've had two of my own designs shot down, and I spent a LOT of time on that tweaked version so stop dragging this out.
