It's the marketing problem that Lightning always has.
You have to tell people that it is Bitcoin and not a Shitcoin with the name "Lightning" and in the same moment you have say that it isn't so slow and expensive as on-chain. That's really hard to explain to new people / normies in one sentence or in one logo.

I'm not sure. I think we need something that is clearly distinct from the Bitcoin logo. We don't need the implicit association between Bitcoin and Lightning, in time people will understand the connection and distinction between the two concepts at least on a facile level, the association doesn't need to be forced like this.

there is an alternative viewpoint on this, soon lightning will be primary way people will be interacting with bitcoin so maybe we're overplaying the importance of separating this and forcing people to understand everything in detail

Bitcoin without Lightning is not too much.
Lightning was the natural evolving of Bitcoin.
If today you take out LN from Bitcoin, will be almost useless.
These two must be together.

I understand broadly on a technical level what the two concepts are and how they relate. The point I'm making is that this logo will start appearing in a lot of places, so it needs to be clear exactly what it is. I'm not convinced that a logo that's basically just the Bitcoin logo with a lightning bolt through it is the best way of representing this.

imo if LN wasnt developed, there would be people trying to do MUCH more on base layer, the fact that LN is being built out, allowed some of the 'weight' to be taken off the base layer.

This i totally agree with. BTC's demise was imminent until lightning took off and started to integrate into daily shopping/purchases. On-chain btc is behind the times and lets be real, no one in today's crypto world wants to pay a fee and then hope they're in the next mined block. They want guarantees, free or virtually free transactions, and efficiency.
