It always takes time to get used to a new design / logo. That's because there is some emotional attachment towards the design of a site where you come a lot. When we created the current design and the current logo, a lot of people disliked it and preferred the older design. Nowadays, people like it. I'm sure you guys will be happy with the new site design after you've got used to it.
.
beside from this new logo, the new design also features new mascottes. These characters will replace the invader as the main character. This is because we just cannot claim a space invader as part of our identity, since it's a registered logotype and because it's just not ours to take. The invader won't be gone. It will just be used as a an icon ''on the side''.
The new icons more then make up for it. I'm sure you guys will like them. I'll show them soon!
