Well, the concept is to have the same logo but in new format. Of |
| 15 |
course, that would require some of professional work to ensure |
| 16 |
best-match rendering if even possible. |

And I don't think it's really giving up. It's just moving |
| 19 |
to the future, putting back good, ol' things in the museum. However, |
| 20 |
it'd be still best to fix it. |

True. |

As I see the concept of a logo, it is bound to a pretty strict |
| 36 |
rendering. It's fun to have it in 3D but I'm not sure if, say, rotating |
| 37 |
it or changing lighting would still make it the same logo. |
