those logos are exceedingly ugly - both the old one and the new one.

on the old one the text looks squashed, the blue background has a funky hue, you duplicate the word bingo, the white glow overlaps with the background of the page - leading to odd white spaces ...

just me?

Not just you. But I'm not a teacher looking to make bingo cards, so my opinion might not count for much.

The new logo was at a distinct disadvantage - the words "bingo card creator" are a lot less obvious and the washed out colours push it into the background (and even clash with the banner).

I reckon a pro-looking logo with the same bold colours as the original may fair better.

The old logo gets the job done, the new one tries too hard to be trendy and fails (it also looks very generic). Sometimes the literal approach is a good idea, even if the production value isn’t there.
