To those who are defending the present design: there is no question that the design is horrible and "wrong" in every way. It isn't designed to be an icon, it's just a scaled down version of the previous logo - with no attempt to make it look visually appealing. This is how it would look if I simply did the same thing to the current logo: ![[Image: af-icon-current-logo.png]](https://blog.aractus.com/images/af-icon-current-logo.png)
As you can see it looks similar to this: ![[Image: favicon.ico]](https://atheistforums.org/favicon.ico)
because all I've done is cropped the logo and resized it. It is god-awful.
The versions I propose:![[Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style1-16x16.png]](https://blog.aractus.com/images/af-icon-aractus.com-style1-16x16.png)
or ![[Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style2-16x16.png]](https://blog.aractus.com/images/af-icon-aractus.com-style2-16x16.png)
or ![[Image: af-icon-aractus.com-style3-16x16.png]](https://blog.aractus.com/images/af-icon-aractus.com-style3-16x16.png)
are all based on the "atom" logo. You could of course base it directly off the topic icons:

But the problem with that is that doesn't scale-down to 16x16 as nicely, and you end up with something that looks like a flower rather than an atom:![[Image: af-red.png]](https://blog.aractus.com/images/af-red.png)

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
