Honestly, I need to reply again here - the more I look at this, the less I like it. I really don't want to be too negative about this, but there is a lot about this logo that just doesn't work.
- Really bad typography makes it slow to read: - Inconsistent tracking - K i C A D - Inconsistent letter baseline - The K looks crooked - upper diagonal arm shorter than lower, and the lower one dips under the baseline - Capitalization is wrong, "CAD" might be the correct acronym but we've pretty consistently spelled our name "KiCad" for a long time - An anonymous IRCer points out that the lower diagonal arm on the K looks a bit...rude. He's not the only one who sees this. I quite like the original logo, to be entirely honest. Maybe it could be improved slightly by changing to a fully sans serif font, but I really don't think anything else on it needs to be changed.
