When was Sir Isaac Newton in the west?
Another rule of logo design is to have it wider than tall. This gives the appearance of speed. And fast is good, right?

That could be cleaned up in GIMP in little time.The stem on the green leaf on the upper right overlaps the orange. This isn’t consistent with the other similar intersections.
This is my important first post.
lemme make you one!

It just seems, if I may say, passe. Sure the mechanical gears can be interpreted as a precise science-y theme but does not jive well with the content on this site. I suppose some audio components can be considered mechanical devices - drivers, turntables and the like. However, this does not capture the spirit entirely. Needs a more electro-mechanical bend.
In the spirit of this subforum (Fun topics), may I recommend a variation of my below creation?
The note represents music - Audio.
The scope is obviously Science.
The headless panther represents Review.
I patiently await my royalty fees - I got Paypal too, you know?
Seriously though, the ownership should consider a membership contest for new logo design. The prize can be one of countless headless panther products Amir is hoarding (with printed measurements to accompany, of course).

Needs work. At first glance the microscope looks like some sort of cannon that shot the head and arm off the panther. The musical note just looks out of place.

You need vector graphics for this. Inkscape is a pretty good free and open source one to use. Linux, Mac, and Windows.Yeah I started all jazzed up in mspaint.exe but quickly ran out of talent.

I think the current logo pretty well follows these guidelines. I've made a couple logos that are in use. And keeping it simple is really important. Otherwise it needs to be unique and noticeable. It will get associated with your product, group or whatever via repetition. So usually symbology isn't that important. You'll have all sorts of ideas and most are just too complex and have a busy appearance.
These are all very simple and easily recognized.
These cluttered designs don't work too well.

A motto is also absolutely needed. How do you write ‘don’t pay more than $9’ in Latin?
Using some simple PowerPoint + copy/paste -- and "borrowing" from a logo that's no longer being used -- I slapped this together ...

I think the logo is <whatever I think it is> and discussing it amounts to telling your firend you don't like his wife's hairstyle.
Logo, Motto, mission statement, social responsibility page. next we'll need a board of advisors, a member committee, bible quotes, inspiration quote of the day and maybe a monthly newsletter and who knows what else?
Eeeeek!!

Inspirational quote of the day (shouldn't have mentioned it Dimitri )
"Don't pay $5000 for an Emotiva anything."
And yeah, the logo is fine. Don't mess with it or complicate it. The colors were especially well chosen.

When I started the forum, I went to an online service and bought that logo. It has gears in it, indicate something mechanical/precise. And I liked the colors.
It looks like a Harvard emblem from a private tribe living in the forest and hunting with arrows. I like it too very much...it has high distinguished class. .... Private class for the public scientific sector, nothing else like it...unique and general @ the same time.
I always thought it was supposed to be three overlapping stylized two-man crosscut saws haha! @amirm and @Thomas savage busily sawing away at the b.s.!

I even found a photo of them hard at work! I think that's Thomas on the left:

Apparently the really long saws were also called 'misery whips.' Back-breaking labor, I'm sure. Kind of like Amir hoisting all those loudspeakers onto his test rig, or hauling those heavy amps around!
I saw that too in it ... forest. I planted them right behind the ones who cut them.
Absolutely...high end university...Harvard school.
