RE: What do you think about this new Gridcoin picture?
Nice picture, but scale it down to a 728x90 banner and all details are lost and it looks like a mush inside a golden ring. Also, there is a contradicting message: heavy golden rings don't really go along with humanitarian slogans ("the first cryptocurrency with a humanitarian purpose"). In my opinion, we should stick with @joshoeah redesign:

I've always liked the original logo but I also I like and prefer Josh's new logo because of it's simplicity. As stated by others it remains easily recognizable even when scaled down, an important feature for compelling logos. I voted "Yes" for Josh's logo. Regarding the slogan, it's a step in the right direction, GRC needs a slogan. However, Gridcoin needs to reach a broader audience that may not be in the crypto world, or even be aware of Steem, etc. In my pursuit of exposing people to GRC they get glossy-eyed the first time they hear me say "cryptocurrency" and I know I've lost them at that point. Hence, I feel we should avoid "cryptocurrency" in the slogan. A slogan which simply states the end result, that Gridcoin helps people help science would pique people's interest without scaring them away.
Instead of cryptocurrency, use phrase "digital currency". It's the word 'crypto' that's scary for newbs.
Also agree with that statement. The "old" logo is a cool addition, but could cause confusion since it can't be used on all places. As you say, it gets hard to see what it's all about.
I'm a fan of the new cleaner design.
I agree. The art is nice but it is just that - art. This is not a logo.
