I still keep searching for the old icon to open SketchUp, and wonder where it has gone
I don't know, when it is just a small icon on the screen it for some reason keeps reminding me of-

Does anyone knows whether trimble even reads SU9 wishlist? or does they even know/knew about SketchyUcation? I'm totally not against it, same question for Google,

The development team is the same as before - so yes, they have read it.
I'm wondering if we'll see some teasers at Basecamp...

But dont sign any NDA so that we keep informed a s soon as possible

Look at the SU developer team usergroup list (and when they have last been online here): http://forums.sketchucation.com/memberlist.php?g=7&mode=group&sk=l&sd=d#memberlist

Eeek! Nobody cares

The list shows the join date. You need to visit each profile page to see their last logon date/time.

I see Millard is still on the list. (Are there others still listed who did not join Trimble?)

Gaieus

That list was listed by "last active" (and yes, the list needs a bit of clean-up).

First of all, I hate the new logo... this is the first step Trimble made to mark their ownership over SketchUp and was a wrong one. This is all they can?? a crappy red... stair-like cube? I'm wondering what will happen with the application itself... I'm afraid that SketchUp as we know it, will die.
I embrace change, but only if it goes up... any degradation is not to be desired.

If Trimble team reads SketchUcation forum and pays attention to users needs, please respond, in this way we will know that you are here.

Anyway ... there is SketchUp 8 M3 ... if future versions will be as crappy as the new logo.

P.S. - please repair your mistake: make a logo contest here, on forum!

FUD
A logo is very subjective - you can hardly project that to the technical capabilities of the application.

Have are there - they have been posting from time to time as they always been.

M4 is the latest version.

Dereeei, you are wrong here. Of course, you may have your own opinion on the logo but it was not a trimble design/decision but was designed "in-house" at the SU Team. In fact, the SU logo used to be different before Google times, too, and the small house icon came with Google (and interestingly, some older users of SU hated that logo as much as you hate this one now - and mostly (also) for sentimental reasons IMO but only they can tell).

Now as for SU development under Google and under Trimble: in Google times, they were only a "department" of Google and actually belonged to the mapping "super-department" - which had a lot of consequences regarding the direction(s) of development.

Now they are (or seem to be at lest?) more "independent" and can decide more on the development areas (although probably there will be some expectations - i.e. some "bridges" with existing Trimble products/hardware).

All in all, I am optimistic. A logo is just a logo and I would not attribute that much of an importance to it (although it may still be relevant in marketing terms - which of course I have no clue about).

Folder with SKP files looks different too

And "Open" dialog too, with "giant" preview
