Hi all,

Here are four ideas for the new Ant logo. We'd appreciate any comments to
help refine some of the ideas presented (see below).

Bye,

Les

I've left out the incriminated Atari like logos, committed the rest.

The first one is out because that symbol underneath looks like Atari symbol? 
Other than that I like the 3rd one best. White probably wouldn't work as a 
color as it will be used on webpages and possibly printed documentation.

Cheers,

Pete

Hi,

I'm not sure if it will reach mail-list, but anyvay. I like your logos.
Especially number 1.

But can you try to remove gray triangle and flip ant from left to right? I
think that it will look more consistent after that, but I can't try by
myself...

  Eugen.

I like Logo1. I would like it even more if the door
the ant is walking through wasn't there.
