I think it needs to be a little shorter, even if that means skinnier too. That is a bit too tall for a forum banner, but other than that I really dig it!

(Or perhaps just size down the whole thing to close to the current size, and that will probably take care of it. Very nice work)

I wouldn't drop Ron Paul out of there yet. It is still the key words many of us used to find this place. I think we still have a ways to go...

besides isn't there an election coming up?

Still nice job on the logo.

Let Freedom Ring? Maybe bring back some of the fading and deepen their color back in the trees a bit, but it does make the logo look antiqued in a special way.

Or don't touch it and leave it like it is.

Nice job.

It could also be your Font Size. Every browser even way back in the day allowed you to customize your font size for readability. There are 5 usual settings: smallest, smaller, normal, larger, and largest. The default is "normal". That is one possible issue. As CaseyJones said, it could also be your Zoom options. Ctrl + MouseWheel Up or Down can affect your Zoom, and also as he said Ctrl + 0 (zero, top of your alpha keys, the ones on the numeric keys on the side dont have the same effect for me), or if you have changed your Screen Resolution.

On topic to New Forum Logo: I actually like it quite a bit.

Yeah, I like the trees for Liberty Forest. awake, the last one you did had a tree with a bluish shadow or something? Just before the one up now? I liked it, and it wasn't up long before the campaign season.

I remember also we discussed a forest, with maybe a taller tree symbolizing Ron but other trees coming up beside standing for all of us and other liberty candidates.... I don't remember if that got to the picture stage. I definitely agree about adding Ron.

I am so glad you are working on this! Your logos really add.

I really like the last one awake did. Having said that, I feel the same way you do on that point.

The idea is the taller tree in the middle is Ron and the forest and roots are us and our candidates and activists. But I wouldn't mind a ghosty Ron in there somewhere, personally. But I've just been asking awake to strip it down to simplicity, and it is really striking, I think.

I think it's more encouraging it to grow, that picture, the original, always looked like Ron was kind of an orchestra leader encouraging people in the audience. I think it's a terrific motif, but I think the multiple tree one with Ron Paul Forums at the bottom looks like it has the inside track.

But I'm adding the one with Ron to the Ron Paul! thread in the other forum, just to memorialize it....
