There was nothing wrong with the old one. Management operates on the basis that whatever isn't broken requires mandatory "repair".

It now looks a little too anti-aliased. Plus, the slogan is not that cool.

Tahoma, 8pt, bold 4lyfe.

In all seriousness, the logo now looks like it was designed by a 12 year old who just got introduced to his older brother's warez copy of Photoshop. Then again, it always did, so *shrug*

assuming you are not a 12 year old just introduced to photoshop, showing us all how it should be done would be welcome. I'm happy to use anything that clearly looks good.

 I'm the classic internet critic.

I could do worse, not better. I appreciate Mospaw See Profile's hard work on the logo, but I'm just saying it could be better.

I've got a very slightly modified version of the usual logo I might try..



(needs the botttom corner fixing).

for those viewing this topic and wondering what the fuss is about, we had up this logo to see what it looked like, for about 10 minutes:

Close.

I've been using Photoshop for a bit more than 12 years.

I agree that it's not the most greatest specialist wonderfullest fanciest logo on the planet, but it works.

clubs:		 No offense Mospaw, since I'm guessing you don't have a lot of creative leeway with it (standard shape,size, blue, etc.) but the original logo wasn't fantastic so working from there is hard.

 None taken. I've been doing this long enough that a little criticism (or even outright trashing) of my design work doesn't hurt my feelings.

And as justin See Profile said, suggestions and improvements are encouraged.

The first example in Justin's post
does look better, in my small opinion. The previously new logo's "DSL" part overshadowed the smaller print. It's easy to look past. It's probably "bad" enough that the URL contains DSL, but to have the logo give more weight to it, adds to it. And I'm not a DSL hater
