at the upper right hand corner of every LXer page? Has the 3d effect and appears have nicer lettering than any of the listed options. It might be harder to do design, but it is the one I like the best.

I like the original one also. GIMP did a great job. But, it won't work for Tee shirts so I like 4.

Tom,

One sugeestion about four.

Change the "er" to match the one in the upper corner on the page. It gives that newsprint feel.

Newsprint. Newspaper. News.

Yes Four is the best, however I think with the exception of 9-12 and possible 4 all the other are all dangerously close to conjure up images of a Swastika

Got to agree with Herschel on this one.

Got to agree with others insofar as not being too excited about any of the new ones. I'd agree with bstadil in that most of them reminded me of a swastika as well. Of all the new choices, I'd pick #4 as the one I dislike the least. (kinda like voting in US politics :)

I think dislike the least is the best phrase so far.

The swastika thing is real btw.

So have no useful input on the matter. Gut feeling says the original is still the best. All the new ones seem a bit flat by comparison. (I'm presuming you're after just one logo for the whole site that will be instantly identifiable).

Have you thought about holding a competition amongst the readers? I bet there's some wonderful latent talent out there just waiting to be discovered.

Yes! This would be the way to go. Like everyone else,I'm really not impressed with the offerings. Id much rather see something along the lines of Crystal or ice-like LXer.
