The fan logo looks like a pair of Y-fronts  Smiley

I like the cube logo though, and the colours are good

Had to google what y-fronts are, never heard of this term. Now all I see is mens underwear. Shocked
It would be hilarious if we found one in tri-color!

Prototype of fan-briefs.

How funny, we may have performed our own kind of Rorschach test.
A committee could not possibly see the fan logo=quark logo=underwear=phallus=praying mantis head=who knows what else.
This is exactly why NEM's symbol should be vetted and chosen in a decentralized way.

The new logo is "flat" compared to the 3d appearance of the cube, especially at the size of a 16x16 pixel icon.






Our "new" logo is a rehash of the some sort of eastern woo or klingon war symbol.  Its not very original IMHO.  I would LOVE to see something brand new and more "techie" and still keep an edge that the current was vying for.  

Also looks like the Airsoft guys already using this logo:
