</div>I must say I had exactly the same two impressions. I'm not a designer nor<br>
visual communication expert and I definitely don't feel competent to rate<br>
logos, but probably most of the community isn't too, so I decided to write my<br>
2 cents.<br>
<br>
I must confess I don't like Larry's work at all (Larry, please don't be<br>
offended! :) ). For me it's still far too much complicated. Yes, the story<br>
behind is nice, but for me (as I said I'm not a proffesional) an ideal logo<br>
contains one shape and one colour. For example, Apple's logo is a good logo.<br>
<br>
For that reason I strongly prefer #50. It's not ideal still, but it's a<br>
completely opposite: simple, clean and tidy. And - what is also important - it<br>
refers to our good old colours and - in quite clever way - to the old shape.<br>
<br>
Of course you can find #50 too cold, or too corporation-style. Well, for me<br>
it's just proffesional and it's not a disadvantage. I guess with the two logos<br>
we send completely opposite messages:<br>
- "We're cool guys, we try to make nice things"<br>
vs<br>
- "We're a proffesional GIS"<br>
<br>
and, after consideration, I prefer the second one.<br>
