It does look nice. I think after a few tweaks, it'll look awesome.

Hey guys,
The logo redesign is something we have had in our basket
of "/things to do in the future/" for a while.
The design approach has been very difficult, as we have to
come up with something that says reminds of GNOME but
doesn't say literally "GNOME" (I assume you are all aware
of the trademark problem we've been causing).
The main problem here is that the GNOME foot is perfect, I
really mean it. Any kind of anthropomorphic foot design
looks just like a fan-made version of the GNOME logo. So,
I thought *why an anthropomorphic foot? Let's play with
the /gnome /metaphor.
*
I've tried several iterations of gnomes and beards and
stuff; they looked horrible, hehehe. Eventually I said,
what the hell, let's combine both ideas: a foot that uses
a a beard-like shape as a the foot itself. *Please, have a
kind look at this:* http://cl.ly/image/253V2f1r121s
It's far from perfect, but I think it's a good start, as
it has some good points:
* It's not a GNOME logo rip-off.
* It plays with the gnome idea.
* It looks like a paw, which is cool in the Ubuntu
world, as every cycle is represented with a new animal.
Please, let me know what you think guys.
PS. /If everything goes according to the plan we will
have: new logo, new website, and new ubiquity this cycle./
Best regards,
Alfredo.
