Title: The new Discourse logo for v2

The logo is obviously on a dark background in the template. It's simple, and I believe gets across the point of the boards as a hub for Aether fans, but also a place for card obsessed people in general.

Yes I copied the link and put it in a new tab to look at it and it looks very simple and elegant and flows with the boards very well.

That's a very nice design! I think it will look good on the new discourse. Hopefully you have some more teasers and whatnot soon for the discourse v2

I really like it, it adds a modern hook. I still really love the logo even though it's sold. Where/when did you think of it?

Looks good - I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.

Hey Alex, looks great. I think that will work nicely for the forums and be a bit more general, but keep your cool logo in there.

A couple super minor suggestions:

- check the kerning, particularly on the "T HE"
- it looks to my eye that the word "The" is like 1 pixel off in its vertical alignment with the word Discourse. It looks like its just slightly of and doesn't quite align to the other letterforms.
- maybe just me, but the ascender in the R is slightly thinner than that of the other letters, and looks slightly less bold because of it.
