Hey all,
Randy Reddig (who designed the current OpenID logo) has done some work
to update it to "v3". This version keeps the same general look and
feel of the logo, though makes some updates to make it more
recognizable especially at smaller sizes. You can read his blog post
at http://www.ydnar.com/2008/01/third-go-around.html to learn more
about his thoughts and the changes. From a bulleted list perspective,
the changes are:
- Added gap around ascender for small and single-color reproduction.
- Gap increases in size when shape is scaled down.
- Stem: Increased ascender height; reduced isometric perspective.
- Arrow: Rotated, reshaped, non-square.
- Type: Increased letter-spacing; Helvetica Neue Regular (vs Light).
- Color: Darker gray for curve/arrow; Pantone DS 32-1 C for stem;
black for type
You can take a look at it at:

Then a specially created 16x16 at http://shaderlab.com/openid/v3/openid-16x16.gif
which should look *much better* than the current one http://openid.net/login-bg.gif
.
I'm certainly excited, thanks Randy! Anyone vehemently disagree with
updating the logo to this new version?
