The mods and I have reviewed this topic a few times since the logo contest started back when we launched the site. And we are finally ready to commit to a single design and announce the winner. So here it goes.
New002 won the logo contest with this design.
Dark theme (banner):
Dark theme (icon):
Light theme (banner):
Light theme (icon):
Why did this win? I think it’s because it’s simple, it’s iconic, and it strips away all extraneous design elements to convey exactly what we wanted to convey. It’s perfectly minimalist while retaining its originality. And quite frankly, it’s cool.
We will be retiring the old temp logo made in Mario Paint in the coming days and replacing it with the above. Please join me in congratulating New002 for winning the contest. And thank you all who submitted competing designs. It was not easy to arrive at this decision because so many of them were excellent. We have some serious talent on this site. I personally want to thank you all for your contributions. I sincerely appreciate them.
Great job everyone and congrats again to New002.
Best,
Peltz
P.S. In case you want to see the light theme logo in dark theme or vice versa:
Light theme has been, unfortunately, temporarily disabled due to a bug I’m encountering on the back end. I will re-enable it after working out the kinks.
