Logo.

AH! Did you somehow hack into my computer and change the logo on my bookmark tab TinCow? It's just changed to the new one... I knew I shouldn't have taunted a lawyer.

Gah, it's so confusing, I click bookmarks by logo and keep panicking thinking I've lost the org.

The cult of the "red blob of nothingness" are legion... lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike, waiting for our time to come again when the red blob shall rise once more and rule on high! You have been warned!

*emerges from shadows*

So the mask was actually inside the blob? That's a revelation in fact - all these years and I thought it was a slab of lasagne best before end 02/03/1999...

I don't like the new logo either, I have a black firefox theme nd can barely see it in my bookmark bar, so I overlook it constantly.

Yep. Here's an enlargement of the icon:

While this is regrettable, it is a result of your own customization of your browser. With a black theme you will experience the exact same problem on every other website that uses a black icon with a transparent background, such as The Escapist and The Washington Post. The only way we can fix this for you is to add in a background color to the icon, but that will make it look worse for everyone else.

Joking aside the new type mask favicon is a big improvement over the old blob of lasagne. I'm probably biased though...

I don't like change, things were better back in the day.

I think though the image is too small for its detail so it appears kind of fuzzy. At least when it was red it was more homely, if you're going for the more modern see-through background approach then you have to pull if off right. I have the TWC logo right below the .org one and it looks a lot tidier.

Still, nice to see people are taking action to improve things here, and everyone I'm sure has been noticing it.
