Hi,

Yes the black / white with updated logo version (for the dark theme) is the 
latest changes I did to it.
And yes, I agree, that it has the „AI“ style - that was one of the reasons I 
was not really satisfied with the current result (although it is quite better 
than the first version from 16.07).

However, I think it actually looks better than our current version tbh.

Gruß
Richard
