Yea, I am not a fan of that logo either.  I personally like Michel
Martens' version that looks like a red square with a thick red border
and the top-right corner is hacked off to give a sort of silhouette of
a ruby.  Not that John's isn't a lovely image however.

John's image would also be a difficult one to reproduce nicely on
anything other than a computer screen, or at smaller sizes.  It's got
that distinct Photoshop'd look to it.

But great work by all on the redesign!
