What's the story behind the forum logo?

And even the layout of this forum is just eyesore after eyesore at the top. It’s completely incomprehensible.

It looks pretty dreary. A bit too much of a social welfare vibe. 😢

Give us some sunshine 🙂.

I don't know, I kind of dig it... it's got that moody, gray vibe going on...

It’s kind of pulling us toward Russia...😂

I went with black and white because colors just clutter up the forum. It’s the same issue as using color or bold in signatures.

🤣

Fine, let them revert signatures to size 1 font then. Presumably, that takes up less space than this oversized, ugly mess.

This forum’s got some kind of charity logo now. I guess. 😳

Geez, what is this, Starbucks all over again? At this rate, they might as well just strip away the letters entirely.
By the way, regarding the forums—that logo, while it looks fine on its own, just feels completely out of place with the rest of the site. You've got this modern logo clashing against a vBulletin theme that feels like it crawled straight out of the 90s.

p.s. I actually think the logo looks much better like this:

Yeah, if you're still running Windows 95 😁

The old logo was definitely better. This new one looks like some cheap work done in Counter-Strike.

Anyway, about the forum—that logo actually looks decent, but it clashes hard with the site. You've got this modern logo sitting on top of a vBulletin theme that feels straight out of the 90s.

p.s. I honestly think the logo pops more like this:

I guess everything is going retro lately, so why shouldn't the forum be trendy too? 😁

I actually kind of love this design. 😁
It looks just like some sort of industrial meat grinder or even a garlic press—honestly, that’s exactly how I pictured it! You just grab that lever at the top and squeeze people right through those side slots... kind of like that scene in the Pink Floyd video for "Another brick in the wall."

To looks like some cheap office photocopier to me... 😁

As far as I'm concerned, it's just a rusted-out nuclear reactor waiting to blow ☕

For those who aren't familiar with the song, it's about a prison in New Orleans... though, honestly, it could apply to just about any prison out there.

Every single time I listened to that track, I used to picture it being about some high-stakes casino or a shady brothel...🤣
