Yeah I wouldn't get too attached to the current logo. Is was created in five minutes by the original developers and almost certainly will have to change.
It's just a blue square with a basic windows font. It's completety illegible at 16x16, doesn't represent any currency symbol at all, and if expressed in monochrome would just be a standard windows font.
So that won't be sticking around for very long.

Even those intent on changing it should be cautious. It may not be the most illustrious logo in your mind, but it's pretty good. We should be cautious about changing something pretty good for something that might be worse. I've learned a bit about logo design in the past year. First of all it costs money for a pro to do it properly, at least a few hundred dollars. Also, it's certainly not as easy as a layman might think, and even us "creative" types usually have no idea what we are doing. I fought hand and fist with the guy who designed the "AmericanPegasus" logo because I had a certain vision, but in the end he was right. Speaking of, I'll contact him and get his opinion.
Look at a lot of these famous logos: many of them are pretty simple too, and perhaps even mockingly so. It's just a blue word in many cases:
Also, here's an article I like about 10 bad logo redesigns, and 10 good ones. We certainly wouldn't want to be one of the companies who took something recognizable and pleasing and turned it into a soulless disaster (like the first ten examples)
