My feelings about the logo are still mixed. I like the absence of the black lines around the shapes, but the new design seems squashed. I like the rectangular design better than the new squarer one. The italic text also somehow strikes me as strange, it made me begin to think that the word FIRST looked funny after a while, something I never noticed in two years of seeing the old logo. Now that I think about this, this is probably because the FIR is seperated slightly from the ST, which are also connected, unlike the other letters. The addition of the gray 3D effects may also make this logo harder to put on some t-shirts or giveaways. For this purpose the the black lines might be helpful, especially around the top of the circle, which blends into white backgrounds.

I'll have to see if it grows on me...
