HTML5 Haxball deserves a new logo #161

I think @basro is doing a great job with porting the game from the old rusty flash to the sweet new html5 but the logo on http://html5.haxball.com/ somehow does not reflect this change.

Back in 2010 when hax was released the current logo may feel kinda cool but when I look at it now, it looks like some crazy 90's wordart design like here: meta

I'm not a graphic person so I will not try to suggest how the new logo should look like, but I think that with the transition to the html5 it is the right timing and it would be pretty symbolic. TL;DR: Current logo is outdated. Hax deserves a simple modern logo and it should be considered although there might be other priorities right now.

Making a decent, good logo is a matter of a dozen minutes for good graphics, it's nothing more difficult. I think the logo itself is just a reference to the tradition, the first Basro project, although it is a bit unleashed and out of design, although it is nice and specific. At the moment, the entire layout of the alpha version is quite poor and without much character, it certainly should improve, but that is alpha, I think Basro will definitely improve in the future. Old HaxBall is very old-school nowadays, for sure the new design of game could attract more people, but that is no problem compared to the implementation of new gameplay features.

I would only remove the star Plus if possible I would put some game that is being played in the menu, like it happens in bonk.io

In the graphic aspect there is a lot of space to show, graphics isn't at all such a difficult spectrum as it seems to be. In Haxball, there is nothing we can expect and expect, because it's known as it was years ago, only silence and nothing more, so every little change, improvement is fine.
