To whom it may concern: The never ending story about a new logo
First I want to say: Don't take this personal. It's just my opinion. Initiative in all honor, but from a professional point of view, I don't like the aspect that people come around with their own Lisk logos, printing them on shirts, server-boxes and using them on their Lisk websites, social media, etc. It just makes Lisk look unprofessional (from my view), because if people around seeing so many different logos of Lisk, well... it just looks unprofessional - end of story. Unless there is an official new logo (new Corporate Identity) we *all* should stick to the old one, even if you don't like it. From day one, people are acting like the success of Lisk depends on the logo, but it doesn't. No the name and not the logo is important. Not a bit. That doesn't mean that I don't want a new logo (I really want), but we have a CEO who should start this officially by calling out a contest or job out a new Corporate Identity.
The problem lies in the reality that the logo is indeed to nice. It looks like a jpeg file of a mineral from a computer game and was edited to create a logo. Seeing the people making their own logos means that Lisk should allow the community be involved in creating a new logo if they do decide to replace it. If you're worried about professionalism then that logo is the very first problem. Get rid of the guy that created it and hire a better man for the job.
