A new website redesign has been in the works for month and it might still take a few more months, but today we are unveiling a logo for the Seattle 2.0 blog as a result of the contest we did early in the year.
The winner logo came from Chris Adams from Rocketman Illustration. Chris went above and beyond and didn't treat this as a contest, but he treated us as a client and we went through 5 iterations of the logo before we got to a point where it seemed to fit.
Without further ado, this is the new Seattle 2.0 logo...

Chris went one step further and also created a FAVICON for us:

I hope people enjoy this new logo, but you won't be seeing it integrated into this ugly version of the site. We'll wait until the new website comes out to use this logo.
