If I had to choose between the two new logos, I would go with the second, but I think it is a pale entry to the current logo. If I were to make a change, it would probably be to keep the angle of the text, include some bolder colors (maybe a whole redirect with grays and blues, or as already suggested, green and black), leave the text font the way it is (it just screams classic programming), and create a shading that reflects either the letters or a classic, universal game.

Of course, just my lowly opinion; I think you guys rock at any rate. :thumbs:

The main reason for the change was exactly that angle. As cool as it may look on a t-shirt, it's very awkward in practical ways. Creating a decent banner is very annoying since you can't make a horizontal OR vertical one using the current logo without being forced to make the logo really small. There's a reason you won't find any major firms with tilted logos - they are a pain to implement.

The two current designs are really the same logo but upright with some modification to make it look a bit more dynamic. I'm thinking of slightly editing the second logo - maybe trying to add the shine of the first to the second, make the black shadow less thick, etc. We'll see
