Anyone else think it is time for a new Apolyton logo?
It has now been four years since the Ultimate Civ site and the First Greek site merged to form Apolyton. I have been thinking that at this point that to have that in the logo is no longer needed. Anyone visiting Apolyton now for the first time has no idea what those two site were or why they are mentioned or needed. Anyone that would care would have already visited Apolyton a long time ago.
So my question is to the community in general, should a new logo be proposed and adopted? Is it needed? Would this be something you would like to see? Or am I just speaking to the wind?

Now they have lemon Coke which almost made me vomit the other day.
I don't mind whether the logo changes or not. It seems all right as it is. Plus the references to the older sites might even attract more people to stay, since they might say "I don't know what those sites are, but they sound cool!"

The logo can use some work. Maybe if you have concrete suggestions post the images here.

Does that mean we eventually get 'apolyton twist' and 'vanilla apolyton' as well?

Well if we do, it would probably have to go with a site redesign which would be a lot of messing around. But if you do decide on a new logo, we should hold a competition for it
