I do - pretty cool, IMO.

I did like the one with Jimi on, even though I'm not a huge Hendrix fan - but the guy was almost off the scale on the cool-o-meter.

This new logo - well, I really like it.

What do you think?

:D :D :D

I like it but it looks way to similar to other logos/adds I've seen just haven't put my finger on it yet.

I like it, but the guitar color needs to match the text. And the perspective on the guitar is a little off. The headstock looks like it is turned to the left and the body looks like it is turned to the right.

I liked the original one when I first joined, but to be honest I never really took much notice . Why was it changed anyway?

Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!

Progress, development, whatever - when you're the best guitar site on the WWW you've got to move with the times and stay the best. Might have been nice if it was a different colour, though - maybe red? I LIKE red.....

And even though I'm a moderator, I didn't know it was being changed.....until I noticed it today.

:D :D :D

I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I looked at it earlier yesterday I think and wondered how long I had missed the change. :D

the logo looks good.
evolution is good. I like it a lot.
pointy guitars. they are everywhere.
just today I got a GC sale catalog. guitars were first. four pages of pointy guitars. then Fender. then Gibson. the latter guitars were the rounded hip old vintage stuff. not pointy at all.
so pointy is it.
just don't go running with it pointing up .
and if you get hurt don't come crying to me.

great logo DH.

Love to take the credit but I didn't have a thing to do with it.

Peace

I saw that and thought 'Whoa the GN logo has gone metal.' 8)

It's the Dean Dimebag Razorback or something, isn't it.

The distressed look is very popular these days. I like the new logo

I like the distressed look of the lettering, but the guitar looks too 80's hair metalish. I voted no.

a periodic refresh is good -- not like we're in danger of losing brand recognition

think it looks more like 'club hand stamp' than distressed.

I like the use of the jazz guitar.

Yes. The Flying V is a cool guitar. I like the blue(s).
