Brings back so many memories...
Should we have a "retro month" or something one of these months, where we change the look of the main page back to how it was in, say, 2008? Seems like a good April Fool's joke to me as well

"Super Mario Galaxy was just released" can be under News
"Are you considering buying a Wii?" can be the poll
The possibilities are endless

Personally, I find both of these rather bland. There's virtually no contrast, and the use of red in both is overpowering. You don't put a predominantly red character/red text in front of a red background. Mario is known for its bright and varied color schemes, and there are so many different colors among its iconography: Yellow ?-blocks, green koopa shells, orange bricks, red and green mushrooms, blue P-switches, etc.. There's definitely contrast options to work with.
Honestly, while the old logo is clunky and awkward, it at least captured the spirit of the series' aesthetics. If the logo is to be redesigned, it should also try to capture that same feel.

This one's better, since it has two contrasting colors.

While those are valid criticisms, there isn't much to do about it for the next four weeks; the proposal to update the logo passed with a week for users to comment on it, so if you wanted to propose your own logo or propose changes, you would have to wait a while before overturning it.
But yes, you're right; it would be nice to have a more diverse colour range.

I am aware of how the proposal system works. I've only just now learned of the existence of this thread.
EDIT:
Though to be perfectly honest, one week is a pretty small time window for something as significant as changing the website's primary means of representation.

I've called for an amendment of the passed proposal, on the grounds that voters on the proposal page were not made aware that an alternative logo exists.
I think this does not violate the "no overturning proposals less than 4 weeks old" rule because it's a request for clarification, not cancellation.

We will not be switching to that logo. It's a Club Nintendo ripoff and I don't like the text placement.
Feel free to discuss other designs and reach out to me to present them. A new logo proposal should only be put forward after the design has my approval. That being said, let's give the new logo some time before we start planning to get rid of it.

Ok, I shelved the proposal.

I have a similar issue where, while I'm on the main page and my user page, I have the old logo. Tried clearing my cache, but issue still persists.

porple please take it into consideration, thank you
That's pretty good, but I can't help but feel like something is missing...
...Something important...
...some sort of... vital... element... like, of the facial variety... that you see and you instantly think: "wow, that's Mario"...
...
Oh! Oh, of course!
Where are his eyebrows?

It gave me that issue at first, too. Going to the image itself and resetting the cache on the image's page seemed to fix it for me. Not sure if you tried that already, though.

It's teatime!
I didn't encounter this, since I got the mushroom logo, but it could be because I cleared some of my cache.
