I'm sure Swatch will eventually get around to sending a letter too. I had a Swatch watch with a face that looked almost exactly like this logo (with black hands even), except that the background was red instead of transparent. (Photo: http://www.switzerwatch.com/product_info.php?products_id=138...)

I think that the logo would look better without the 3D effect--especially in the favicon and in the smaller version of the icon that is on the homepage. The gray shading makes the logo look dirty when the logo is on a white background (or printed on letterhead); when it is on a gray background (like the favicon often is), it is hard to make out.

Logo design is hard.

Except that watch looks more like a stylised version of the Swiss flag - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Switzerland.svg

I actually like the new logo better. Cheers to Red Cross for acting like real people over this and not a bunch of Suits.

Hmm, I signed up for rescuetime a long time ago, and I stopped using it, and they never send me any updates. Don't they love me anymore?

Rescuetime has improved since I last used it, but I never thought to check back. It would have been nice if they emailed me when they update the site.

I like the old one more...the old one is stronger and more memorable. Maybe too strong for some people. don't know.
