I just took your basic idea and made it a little more modern.
Here are some rough ideas.

I am not saying you are a racist and I understood what you were doing with the bolts but....
;D
They just look wrong, I guess because of where I come from.
Just ask VD and he will say the same thing about the bolts.
;)
I actually really like the original logo. The newspaper background...;D
I consider that sometimes needs to change , that make more enthusiastic the Forum , obviously i like the original , but is good to try it ........:cool:
Why not...?
Yep, but the non-blinking one. You don't want to get Saddo sued by epileptics.
Good stuff Danny but man,Is that a 20 ounce carny glove....Its huge ;D
I'm fond of the original, It speaks to how far this journey has come ....
i like the Lite animation
I expect the Old Guard to be all over this
I'm still liking the original. Maybe it is the shade of the red I'm not fond of, dunno. I do like the action of the fist coming thru the monitor being more pronounced...but I'm not sold on it.
Danny is 100% rightQuote:

But....
I'm not so sure the logo needs changing. I don't see it as outdated, I see it as part of the Saddo tradition.
It's not my opinion that really matters though. What does matter is that there are promoters, boxing managers and fans that recognise the traditional Saddo symbol at boxing events.
(I myself had the press pass around my throat, only to be approached by Brian Peters, the biggest promoter in IrL)
I'm not sure its a good idea to change something that has brought the site to prominence.
I like the old logo. It has a more old school vintage feel to it. But maybe because it is vintage. It matches the newspaper background and the overall look of it feels more like a logo than the other one.
I dont like the suggested one. It feels too 'corporate', more like it was meant for a business website rather than a forum. I dont like the composition of it either, its too square, which makes it feel even less like a logo and more like an ad.
Are you or Saddo graphic designers? Im not, but thats my critique. Do not want.
First off mate outstanding work i love it BUT there is a reason that it aint been changed before now and that is the familiararity it has with the site as Hitmandonny has already pointed out...
i do like yours better and appriciate what you have done for me but i think it would be a bad move on my part to change it now its established ;)
hope you understand mate but thanks again ;)
