It is a better shade of purple. The bevel is kind of gross, and I'm just left a bit disappointed. A missed opportunity to do something great.

The bevel bothers me as well, especially dark bevel on white background.

Out of the 30 days of logos, this one looks most similar to day 7 to me -- which according to Survata was the second most popular out of the 30: http://survata.com/blog/yahoo-showed-us-30-days-of-logos/

I wonder why they didn't pick the top choice. It looks better to me.

No offense, but it looks like shit! The letters are too thin and don't have beautiful proportions.

Ever notice how, when someone starts a sentence with "no offense, but...", the very next thing they say/write tends to be really offensive?

I call it the "No offense, but fuck you."

Wow, can't believe they took such a big step backwards. Purple w/ black shadow and bevel ... this must have been a decision by committee.

Looks herky jerky and overwrought on my machine. Don't mind the idea, just seems exaggerated in the execution.

Animated logos are the future - including on storefronts, the tops of monumental buildings, and vehicles.

The bevel is pretty ugly and unnecessary.
