<div dir="ltr">In addition to liking the new 3.x logo better, I found it very useful when determining if a blog post or youtube video was using a modern version by looking at the logo in the screenshot. However there were a huge number of changes going from QGIS 2 to QGIS 3 and with what has been announced so far I don't imagine that there will be the same benefit this time. Even a slight change would allow users to date the resource but that might be better done just altering the top bar of the application. Also I still like the logo. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Apr 20, 2025 at 9:33 AM Greg Troxel via QGIS-User <<a href="mailto:qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Totò Fiandaca via QGIS-User <<a href="mailto:qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</a>> writes:<br>

I hadn't looked at <a href="http://qgis.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">qgis.org</a> lately and wasn't really clear on what the<br>
current logo looked like. So I went to look, and my reactions:<br>
<br>
wow! the web site has been really spiffed up. Other than the top<br>
download which says "Available on Windows, Mac, Linux", implying that<br>
you can't run qgis on other operating systems, and linking to youtube,<br>
I don't see anything to complain about. I really like the left<br>
blurb/right image style, given how nice the images are. It comes<br>
across as well thought out and a great landing place for the<br>
qgis-curious.<br>
<br>
The logo looks fine. I'm not sure if "the logo" is the stylized Q<br>
with the floating orange/yellow/grean diagonal, or the the word QGIS<br>
using that character, or both -- but I think it looks fine.<br>
<br>
All in all I don't understand what problem needs solving. We have a<br>
nice logo, and it's in place.<br>
<br>
I wonder if anyone who remembers the last logo change has an estimate of<br>
total hours of effort to change it (given a new, completed design).<br>
