I have uploaded a modified version of the new logo, at first instance you may not notice it but it should look as sharp as possible, I took some time and drew it in vectors so it's really as good as it can get.
As for switching logos... no doubt it'll take a while to get used to, especially because the whole design hasn't changed but the logo alone, however if a new layout is to come, it will be carrying the newer logo, take it as a chance in our corporate identity.
Some of you may remember years ago when we switched from Jawbreaker to vB forums and it felt really strange, then just days/weeks after, pretty much everyone was talking of how great the move was... I'd compare both of these situations.
