[Poll] What do you think of the new SketchUp logo designs ?

It's inevitable, TT.
(actually that was my thought on the logo too. I dig your cubes.)

Hi Takahiro, I initially thought it would turn out like your model (which I like) but I don't think it is like this. Have you studied the line projections in my model?

Has anyone played around with the actual logo model? See attached file. It looks to me the the plan view does not correspond to the 3d view!
I take the point regarding a logo's requirement to 'look good' when zoomed out but we are now entering the age of retina display! So does this principle still apply?
Co-incidentally I tried out the 15" MBP Retina today in my local Apple store. It was hard to drag myself away and found my right hand reaching for the wallet in my back pocket but I resisted as I want to wait a few months to check out the 13.3" MBP Retina which is rumored to appear shortly.
My point being that things will look just as good, if not better on the 13.3" than my current 17" MBP.
So, my question is, should the 3D logo be a little more defined with line edges? We are going to be looking at this logo for some time to come
I was looking at your image, Mike, and I THINK that it is extruded "squares" with a heavy, 2D outline:
I drew an "extruded" square with red sides and white tops.
Then I used photoshop to trace around the outside with a thick outline, and changed all red to the same hue... -

I think that is close, but based on mike breakdown, I don't think it can be models purely in 3d.

I think the previous logo was a little toy like. A change of image is good i think.

They did make tweaks in post.

When I use small icons in my explorer folders, it is hard to distinguish between SU and LO. It did inspire me to create an avatar though.

it is natural for people to feel uneasy about any innovation. we get attached to things which are familiar to us. I confess feeling that way when I first saw the new sketchup icon but it slowly grew on me and now I quite like it.
to be perfectly honest I always felt the sketchup icon to be a bit silly, with its pencil and little house. so much so that I changed it for the one you see below.
however, I do not think the Layout icon is as successful as Sketchup's. I find it too flat in a literal as well as figurative way.

I'm with Edson. I was a little put off at first, but I think that I am enjoying it much more, now.
It really is a corporate logo, rather than a desktop icon. It is strong and simple, and it "fits" alongside the Trimble logo.

SAD! 100,000 members and only than 137 votes.

In the combined polls, I think "I don't have an opinion" is leading so...

If it was made using Sketchup any old doodle would do. If it was handed over to their corp artist and made elsewhere? Says a bit about the union. An intelligent CEO would have his artists embrace Sketchup as the sole tool for this.
