Just to add my two cents to the discussion,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that the problem is not with the DNA helix but with the font. I've played around a bit with it and if you use for example Helvetica or something less comic-sans-like it does look better. Also for some reason I'm still disturbed by the green but
it is a very personal opinion..</div>

<div>I agree with critique of Maarten, and I actually still not sure if I like Maarten's or Grant's idea better. Interesting thing is that - not sure all realize it - Grant's variant is his vision of Maarten's prototype :) However, Grant's variant has an important advantage
- it is ready to serve as logo. And I actually want to use a logo in my slides for UseR!-2013. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I suggest we take Grant's logo as a working variant. No doubt that the logo is going to evolve with time - as anything we do in the project - code, documentation; logo is no different, I think. The element which is going to stay and keep it recognizable
is the way of spelling the GenABEL :) - Like Gnu's horns in the GNU logo. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What we can do next is to place an open call on site/forum for other users to contribute, but this is going to take time, and meanwhile I suggest to stick with Grant's variant.</div>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
<br>
It looks really nice ! Credits for who made it. However, I have more the impression that it looks like a polypeptide chain or a rosary. The seventies font is a matter of taste, but it remind me of comic sans(including a upside down e as a). I wonder if it
readable if you print it on a poster: I think this is a important use-case of a scientific logo.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
<br>
Maarten

How do you like this one?<br>
</blockquote>
I like it a lot.<br>
<br>
What do you think about reducing the font size for the subtitle<br>
and right-justifying it? Would it still be readable? I liked that<br>
detail from the previous attempts with the "Project" subtitle.<br>
<br>
In any case, this is just a minor detail. It looks great as it is.<br>
<br>
Thanks to Grant Borodin!<br>

Dear Nicola, Diego, Lennart,<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for your feedback! I will ask Grant Borodin, who kindly designed these logos, if he could change C according to your comment (capital "ABEL" and "statistical genomics" as in F).<br>

Congrats to whoever designed these logos, they look very nice :)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
With respect to my preferences, I fully agree with Lennart: "C with capital ABEL and statistical genomics below it" would be my choice.<br>

Wow! Those look really nice!<br>
I like options C and F the most. Actually a combination would be even<br>
better IMHO: use C with capital ABEL and statistical genomics below it.<br>
Looking forward to head the opinion of others,<br>
