I will do a small point release of the QT wallet with the logo update today, but for now I'll hold off on any core changes for another week or so.
On the next gen wallet front, my focus has been on completing the full encapsulation of the daemon so it is transparent to the user, auto-generating rpc user/password etc. and making it seamless, locking down and cleaning up class visibility for internal core objects (e.g. internal vs public vs protected etc.), plug-in lifecycle, handling different scenarios from the qt wallet like sending coins from encrypted wallet so prompt the user to unlock first and little things like that, detecting the first run of the wallet and showing the user the getting started page, etc. and then applying the new logo and mockup styles as best I can. All the little things that can confuse new users, and then major core API finalization for plugin developers. Can't publish an API, have people build apps, and then break it because then you alienate devs.
A lot of this stuff, once it is done it is done, it is the up front hurdles you have to get over and then everything gets a lot easier.

This is exciting! I really like it when moonmoon replies to this thread more often. It kind of sets everything in the right places and calms the mood down.
BTW, I'm going for a weekend vacation, so if you need icons or anything urgent from the mockup - thursday is the best time to ask.
Also, I'm going to be very picky and pushy about the GUI of the wallet. Misalignments of elements, missing paddings and blurry icons shall not pass!
I've also updated the logo across the sites, I think I got all of them.
The new logo looks really nice in the wallet by the way
I also sent a request to MintPal to have them add Particle for voting or perhaps if we're lucky they'll bypass that and add us directly. Based on what's going on with Panda and Unobtanium I get the impression they may be getting a lot of volume/users
I added a link to SwissCEX on the website as well.
