@idimummy First of all, I appreciate very much that you like to contribute to this project! Thank you for your work.

With regards to replacing the current logo I share the concerns which @stephanlindauer pointed out. My biggest issue with that is that an established logo acts like a visual brand for the "product" (value of brand recognition). Therefore, changes should be made as minimal as possible. I kind of remember there was design work done in 2017 and discussed on Slack ... not sure about the outcome. Anyone?

If one decides to replace the logo with a new logo then a good strategy is to run an A/B test with the users to measure how it gets accepted.
