Will Opera desktop version get a new logo soon?

By Jon S. von Tetzchner. Tuesday, 28. April 2009, 13:05:20

The Opera logo is very known to many people. About 40 million use Opera on desktop regularly. More than 23 million use Opera Mini and millions use Opera on other devices. Changing the logo is as such no simple thing to do. However, I do believe we can fix it up a little, without changing it.

A page where users can upload and find UserJS files?Will Opera ever support extensions like Firefox?

Will this be ready for Opera 10?

How much is "a little". Would this (minus the blue) constitute a little?

PLEASE don't change the big, red O!!!

I love the O!!!

I think that some "logo revamping" more than a change of the current one, may be the way to go. And I'm looking at the red "O" used in the ACID 3 technical preview.

Or the current Opera Software logo (the red version of course, not the white version on the current homepage), or the current myopera favicon. There's plenty of options, all good ones. No need for tweaking or development.

Good thing in ugly wrapping usually doesn't sell well...
Current Opera browser logo is that ugly wrapping.

How about:
if you decide to change logo, show it to community members and put up a poll?

I personally like this logo and wouldn't want it to change (too much).

missevilat # 29. April 2009, 20:05

A simple:
"Here's new logo. Do you like it and want to see it as new Opera logo?"
Y/N

Would most likely get bigger % of Yes anyways... it usually works that way ;p

Hrrm... that's a bit of an extreme change methinks.

How's about the current Opera Software logo:

The present one looks somewhat outdated..it needs some make over..seriously.

We need to have a nicer logo...especially for a larger resolution for the logo.

The Opera logo looks terrible on docks.

+1 Yes Opera needs a better-looking logo. The red "O" is way too simple and, no offense Opera team, ugly. Plus it doesn't "say" anything about internet browsing.
