Some technical questions about the logo:
1) What software was used in making the 3D model?
2) Are the data files for that model available somewhere? (Or will
they be made available?)
3) The SVG files provided appear to be based on painted wire frames
rather than true 3D renderings. This

Hello!
What should be my course of action if I find that the replacement of the
old 3D logo with a new wannabe-Web-2.0 melted circle offends my
aesthetic sense to the degree inexpressible in any human language?

In regards to the new logo,
1. I like it. It looks a little odd by itself, but I think it really shines
when you see it in Vector. It fits with a less boxy, sharp and jarring look
like monobook has given us for years. A little larger couldn't hurt, but I'd
