So, what's the verdict? Hot or not?

That's nice! :wacko:
What are the species depicted? (Let me guess: Tylototriton verrucosus, Ambystoma mavortium larvae, Ambystoma texanum and Plethodon glutinosus? I am not good at ID'ing)

Nice! I like the new logo quite a bit. It feels a little busy, but I'm no graphic designer.

I hope people don't take it as a subliminal message to mix species!

Ambystoma mavortium mavortium, Tylototriton verrucosus, Ambystoma texanum are correct. The Plethodon is a hard one to answer. It was found in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. Which means it could be Plethodon albagula or possibly Plethodon sequoyah. If you can tell the difference you win a gold star because I can't.

Re: The logo being busy, I can see what you mean. Anyone else think the same? I take criticism well :p I promise.

Well do you mean the Caudata.org logo with the orange C or the colorful pictures behind it? The logo no, the pictures maybe a little tiny bit I'd rather see my newt "famous" and in the picture when coming to the site for the first time than not. I only see the picture briefly before scrolling down to actual text anyway. For what that is worth.

It's lovely. My only critique is that the sizes of the sals are out of proportion. The largest sal (axolotl) is the smallest image, and the smallest sal (Plethodon) is the largest image.

It's a tiger salamander larva, tsk tsk Jen :p.

and the smallest sal (Plethodon) is the largest image.
Actually the Plethodon was close to or the same size as the texanum.

I'll have a think. There's one thing I want to change any how.

Actually now that I think about it, I think the slimy was bigger than the texanum.
