"S" in "SN" works. A lightning bolt. However the rest of the "stacker news logo" in that same style doesnt work imo. It has character/uniqueness, sure, but doesnt work well as logo. Here is my proposal:

Original logo has Bitcoin Wizard vibes, new one looks good but has professional company vibes.
I prefer the original.

But it also may be related to human inertia. We don't like change when we got used to something.

I like your proposals but I prefer the original because it's made with a font (lightning) so it's easier to use and we can do variations of it with little effort. One can even write an entire post with it.

Yea but why? To make it unreadable?
First and foremost quality of logo should be to identify the brand. Style, uniqueness, coolness are secondary.

I'm saying one could not should write an entire post with it 😅
I understand and agree with your point and I think the current Stacker News logo already does that. But this is just my opinion, I'm not a designer.
Also, I like the ease of use of the original font logo because I'm a programmer and I like manipulating things with code :)
OT, I like your dribble page, @designsats. Lots of really cool designs there, man!

Not big fan. The "S" seems out of place (way to large compared to the rest of letters). The "N" is also wierd, looks like a glitch rather than intentional.

I like the logo of the 2nd one. I don't like the font of the whole Stacker News text. It's too plain, except for the 's' and the 'n'.

The new one is better, however...
...allow the N to be a normal N. There's no benefit on drawing attention to an N. The entire point is to accentuate the lightning bolt, the S. Correcting the N focuses attention on the S, rather than drawing attention away from it.

I've also been known to wear the hat of a Professional Brand Publicist for a very long time. IMO, the current logo is PERFECT. other than could just possibly use some more 'yellow highlighting' but that would be all. it has all the characteristics needed for a successful logo!

make the 'n' also a lightning bolt, and intertwine the two.
or, just go with the 's' and nix the 'n'.

I've tried both Chrome, and Firefox. On Ubuntu Linux 20.04, if that matters any.
Chrome is Version 114.0.5735.106 (Official Build) snap (64-bit).
Firefox is v114.
I even just now tried Brave, same thing:

Ok, it's my shitty cablemodem ISP. Works fine when I use firefox via Socks5 proxy. Probably fine from a VPN as well, but I don't have one to try.
I then launched, on the problematic cablemodem ISP connection:
$ chromium --enable-ssl-debugging
Then looked at the
chrome://net-export/
https://netlog-viewer.appspot.com/#events
And put a few of the relevant events into:

Hell if I know how to decipher / troubleshoot that, but thought I would share.
I'll remember to try a different network the next time something like this occurs.
