"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:

Feed me back
Original logo has Bitcoin Wizard vibes, new one looks good but has professional company vibes.
I prefer the original.
I made changes to make it closer to the original. :) Sharpened it a bit @nullama

me too for the same reasons
But it also may be related to human inertia. We don't like change when we got used to something.
is there a middle way?
Yes, a professional company guided by bitcoin wizards.

Sexy! Old one is hard to read.
thank you
I'm 100% a fan. Way more crisp and professional IMO. Don't let K00b use this for the site without compensation.
thx bro. I would let him why not? :) Logo is the easiest part of branding.
The new proposal looks a bit like SV instead of SN.
I get the impression yours looks like a publishing news site aka HN. I agree to other poster it need more wizardy touch.
made update, check it in comments
Second one is more professional. 1st seems more grass roots, which grass roots can be a better vibe.
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'.
Made update :)
Good Suggestion, how about we vote to change? Highest stacker in SN
I like your ambition but I love the original logo
Meaning do not change it from as-is
Thats ok :) Maybe one day there will be room for improvement. I did it for fun not. Dont care if it gets implemented or not.
Looks absolutely awesome!
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 like them both.
The OG logo feels more "pleb" while the updated logo feels a bit more professional.
Nice.. I really like how you use decently the dot inside of N letter.
Looks great!
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!
Thank you brother :) If you ever need branding, UI or print design - remember me
Am I the only one who cannot see the images?
Update: The image link is not secure, ... my browsers (I've tried both Chrome, and Firefox) refuse to load it.

What's the deal, nobody else has this?
what browser?
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: Version 1.52.129 Chromium: 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (64-bit)
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.
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.
nooooo, keep it as it is!
This is nice!
How do I get in touch regarding logos?
texted u

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!
This could have been a perfect thread in the ~Design territory ;)
make the 'n' also a lightning bolt, and intertwine the two.
or, just go with the 's' and nix the 'n'.
I was worried it would be too generic without the N
Let it be! The OG
How about an art contest to revisión the Stacker. News Logo? I think it would give this space a lot more exposure.. just my 2 sats
Very sleek
It has some zap ⚡️ vibes to it
Pretty dope 🤙
Original is like two bolts. Better that one bolt ;) Your logo is nice too. More stable feeling.
Looks awesome.
I like it
thx
very cool. well done.
I like it
2nd one is better
