I kinda want to agree. The logo used on here is absolutely fine, but the blurred variation on dev.newsblur is kinda painful. Swapping it out would be fine.
I really like the logo. (There are a couple of fonts, on the other hand, that could do with some tinkering …

In the tech industry, I usually call things like this a “waste of my time” which I’m “not going to implement right now can’t you people tell important things are broken”.

I am to have pain from logo name logo_newsblur_blur.png. Kindly make rename to logo_hello_tony_grillo_thank_you.png.
The logo is fine. I’d rather have Samuel devote his time into the product right now.
Unless you’re volunteering to help Samuel out with the logo?
