What's wrong with it?
Best regards,
Tony.
I have a few complaints about the original logo.
1. It's very busy (seven colors?!)
2. It doesn't print well (seven colors, hairline borders, gradients)
3. It's inconsistent (some parts are embossed, others not. Shading is done
in both blue and black.)
4. The font styles ("V" and "im") are different (this makes my eyes twitch)
5. The "m" looks like someone melted it with fire. Inelegant and weird.
6. As a general rule, when loud background texture (green diamond) cuts
through text, it makes me twitch (see the treatment of "im")
A shocking number of my colleagues have no idea how great Vim is. Some of
them were surprised to learn Vim has "syntax highlighting, just like
Eclipse!" I think this ignorance comes from two places: first, they've
only used vim to modify .bashrc on a server somewhere through Putty, and
second, the visual identity looks like the program was abandoned 10 years
ago. One reason I finally decided to post this, was because git recently
redid their logo (and it looked a lot like some of the designs I was
playing with), and I think the result reminds people that git is a
powerful, modern tool. I wanted the same for Vim.
