I've been thinking of a design update of our DAN website logo, so I created some proposals.
My favorite is "type A" which has more affinity with the DAI official typeface, plus DAN's unique diamond cut and the captain hat.
What do you guys think?

Re: DAN website logo design proposal
Also I was wondering if we could update the featured image on the top page periodically (every other months or so) to give our site more visual appeal and 'fresh' feel.
The images could be contributions from forum members, and possibly DAI official images. (I am hoping DAI is ok for us to use their stunning images as long as the photo credit is displayed.
The last one (DA40) is my own picture.

Re: DAN website logo design proposal
I think that a design upgrade after six years is a good idea. I also like the idea of a rotating banner. But in the end it is all up to Chris who is doing a tremendous job maintaining the forum and administrating it and if he can spend the time to implant your ideas.
The last design changes with mobile integration (bootstrap) and the new logotype, etc. took me weeks to get them finished and displaying well on all displays. So I really do unterstand that changes here are slow and cautious.
To answer your question, "type B" would be my favorite and I would put the captain´s hat a bit further back on the Diamond.

Re: DAN website logo design proposal
I don't have any strong opinions about the logo so I'll update to whichever people like best. I like the idea of rotating the banner. I need to fix an authentication issue in the Gallery section first, but once I have it working properly again, I can create an album for people to upload their suggestions for banner photo, and we can rotate through those.

Re: DAN website logo design proposal
Thanks Kai and Chris.
As for the logo, I'll create a poll to see which one people like best.
My real job (while I'm not flying) is user interface design, so I'm happy to help any visual design / CSS coding etc.
