*flame* :) Heck NO! The current logo represents more of the grass root, no frills, do the job fast and right, open source kind of thing the is exactly the embodiment of SA!
Besides, what else would strike fear in the hearts of spammers more then a pink ninja! It gives me the willies every time I see it! The logo is loved by many and feared by even more. Management is always going to be the way they are. And changing the logo isn't going to let them see the light. The only solution to the management problem is a big bag of 'shut the hell up!' ;) I'll tell management what is good for the network. They may think they own it, and it is for the company, but they are wrong! Its mine, all mine! MUahahahahahahha! SA for everyone! Viva la SA!
