It's here! It's here! Our new logo has been finalized!
Thank you for all of your feedback when I posted the potential options all the way back in April. This version was easily the favorite in the comments and in the private feedback I received. At the time, I was afraid we weren't going to be able to use it because the circuitry was so very delicate it vanished completely when printed, and I SO wanted our logo to work both on screen and in print so that we could create cool RPR swag (like t-shirts and hoodies... More on that shortly!)
The designer was enormously patient with my various requests to see different versions of all the logos, and when we settled on this one, worked with me to create a version that still had recognizable circuits in all their spider-thin glory, but that could still work in a range of sizes and in print. After numerous printing tests, I'm finally satisifed that we have a winner.
Heraldry, fantasy, sci-fi, and the flexiblity to use the logo in all these configurations too?
Yeah, I love this logo. I hope you like it too!
I have an appointment at a printer tomorrow to get some test swag made -- those of you I owe prizes to are finally going to get your pick of t-shirt, and those of you who want to buy some cool RPR shirts, hoodies and etc? Yeah, we'll hook you up. I'll let you know more as soon as I know more!

Not even half an hour after the new logo goes up, and AgentMoore sends me fan art:
I just about did a spit take.

oh my god. I will need a hoodie. Please make sure they'll be available in plus sizes? 
I love it! It's elegant and represents the site pretty good. I'm thinking of getting a hoodie 
@Copper_Dragon - It's funny, it wasn't my first pick either, but it's seriously grown on me. It seems like it's at home now that it's finally here!
It looks absolutely fantastic! I don't believe this was my first pick originally, but I still love it and adore how perfectly it fits the site!
