Same here. At first I wasn't quite convinced by the choice, but seeing it in context is something else. Congratulations!

Re: The new site design is...

very nice. compare the new logo/look with the old one still in the wiki.

clean, sharp, professional. the "archer" is most excellent.

Re: The new site design is...

I think it's awesome!  Whoever was behind the page's design did an outstanding job, in my opinion.  In the beginning, my feelings were the same as a couple of others here: I was not entirely swayed when I first saw the winning logo, whose creator did an equally fantastic job, by the way.  I wasn't too sure if the new logo could accommodate a web layout that reflected Arch's rational elegance.  I must admit that I had a rather pessimistic attitude towards the whole thing, and I think I am correct by saying now that the individuals who worked at the logo integration saw something that I did not.

I do have one question, though.  Was Judd involved in the logo selection process and the site's re-design?  It would be wonderful to know that the brainchild of this elegant distribution, the individual who was the one who conceived of this entire thing, played a part in the composition, or at least had given his genuine approval for the proposed logo.

The only thing I will say is that I can think of several words that (I believe) could fit Arch better, other than "lightweight," such as "elegant" or "rational":  Arch Linux . . . A simple, rational linux distribution.

Some of it might be a bit ugly for a while. I slapped all the headers in tonight without much regard for the colors quite yet. So there are still some tweaks to come.

I do have one question, though.  Was Judd involved in the logo selection process and the site's re-design?  It would be wonderful to know that the brainchild of this elegant distribution, the individual who was the one who conceived of this entire thing, played a part in the composition, or at least had given his genuine approval for the proposed logo.

To partially answer your question, Judd did vote on the logos with the rest of us, so yes we had his input

Re: The new site design is...

The homepage does not work for me! (It displays the old setup plus text instead of the new logo). The other pages are working fine however.

Edit: now it works.... weird

By the way the small bookmark icon varies from the old logo to the new one

Re: The new site design is...

Clean your cache ctrl+alt+del in firefox! Add add a new bookmark for arch, then the logo should change
Is AUR also getting the new design?

Nearly perfect:the small numbers in the blue vertical bars at right are nearly illisible, they need a slightly bolder type.

With firefox's cache clean the homepage works, but no AUR does not

Re: The new site design is...

I've already commented in an older thread, but in case those responsible aren't reading it any more I completely agree with everyone else: it looks even better in context, and really chimes with Arch's philosophy.

Re: The new site design is...

The new design look really sweet! (Reminded me of Openbox ).

Can't wait for the Wiki and AUR to use the same theme.
