If the bird is combined with the word LyX I would prefer the
typeface to be more simple instead of the rotated/colorful letters

with the logo that I think looks more professional.
While the banner is indeed more professional, it also looks like 50
other banners...
Currently the logo is not used consistently. For example, the bird is
used as application icon, while the splash screen shows a logotype
without the bird.
Combining the splash screen logotype with the bird you get too many
fancy elements and colors, so that's why I made something with the bird
and a more simple logotype. Then the bird is immediately recognized as
the LyX logo and things don't become overly fancy and complex.
I don't think every design element needs to be completely unique. If the
logo itself is already unique and colorful, it's better not too add a
lot of additional colors and fancy fonts.
