I agree with your sense of priorities, echoed by others in the thread and elsewhere as well...
But I think we can all take a step back and have some fun. I highly doubt the new logo negatively impacted developer workflow at all. At least I certainly hope logo design and coding aren’t being done by the same person (unless they’re crazy talented at everything!)
We can continue to rightfully push for progress and improvements, but I hate to make the false judgement that Steemit Inc. is working on logos instead of site improvements. The two are most likely mutually exclusive!
Well since I've worked on logotypes much of my entire life, I have some experience in the field. And l am certain it is not the answer to all publicity. In this case I have the feeling it is more a diversion than a solution. I might be wrong, but I am not wrong when I say there are other priorities other than visual appearance that would benefit steem and steemit more. Like the total lack of vision and ambition.
