I voted 5, it's clean not distracting.  #2 is way too busy.

I hope the changes don't include bootstrap.... Bootstrap is becoming the norm and it's not different

Hey... a new candidate entered the race after some of the voters already cast their ballots. I smell voter fraud!! I see this ending in lengthy litigation.
In Florida, we call that a "pregnant chad" or a "hanging chad."

I really think the one we have now is rock solid, but if somebody could take it and just modernize it, that could be the way to go!

Bootstrap a is UI tool just like Zurb's and any of the dozens of others out there. It provides a solid starting point for creating fluid websites and web applications, it's up to the developer to take that base and make it stand out from the "norm" (or to not do anything and party on like it's 1999  )

I like #1 and #5 from a design perspective. 2 is a no-no because of the 3D thing, 3 would be good without the radar.

In fact, #3 with a transparent background and without the radar scope on the left would be pretty awesome IMO. See below image.

Perhaps you could use number 5 without the map and then center the text and slogan? That would look interesting in my opinion  Number 5 is my vote though.

Here's a few variations on #5 since a lot of people seem to like that one...

First, an updated version of the original with the background outline and text position tweaked to allow for a wider (read: less tall) aspect ration

Second, one that gets rid of the background map and draws the letters in pretty closely

Last, same as the second image except that connections were added on the top of VAT and bottom of USA

Figured I might as well take a swing at it....I voted for the current logo, but if this could be considered it is my vote (style 1). I can send over the PSD to the logo and star if needed.

Style 1:

Style 2:

the star, but larger...could be used as an icon/favicon stuff like that.

I'm digging that one, Ryan. Looks really good. Prefer the second over the first, though.

Agreed. The spacing between the T and the U needs a bit of work, but that's promising.

I like what we currently have, don't have any problem with it. However, if a change is in the mix, I would have to cast my vote for #2. The one thing I would change about it is the typeface and/or font color for 'VATUSA'.

#1 and #5 are bland and leave me unimpressed.

Just my opinion, which does not seem to be the popular one.
