New Caudata.org Logo

I like the new logo very much. The size, style and position of it is much better than before. I probably fall into the camp of people that feel the banner as a whole is a bit busy with too much of a newt jamboree at the edges (the verrucosus looks like it should have a rugby ball tucked under it’s arm :D). I really like the misty forest background in the middle – IMO a wide angle shot of that forest and the text in the middle would be enough to get my imagination going.
 
More thoughts please.

I personally think its spot on.

We could go on all day wanting to see a species on there one of us keeps.
Its a great improvement and, as Mark says, the forest type view in the centre evokes many thoughts of field herping.

Nice one

The transition on the right from forest to pond is a bit rough (green stripe). Perhaps the salamander's tail in the foreground?
 
I think the verrucosus is a bit swallowed up by the tiger sal's gills, which does not do it justice. Verrucosus is a beautiful species, and shouldn't be hidden by another.
 
And the texanum looks like it's hissing. lol.
 
I will make further efforts to please.
 
i think you need a european sal or newt in there !
 
Just so you know, I LOVE the texanum photo. In fact, you should change the entire site just to Ambystomatids.
 
Regarding the European species point: I'll keep that in mind - if I have an appropriate photo I will use it, though it might end up being a "Near Eastern" species. I will be replacing the Tylototriton verrucosus because I'm not happy with it.

Re: changing the texanum as raised in the moderator forum: I feel the same way as Kaysie!
 
OK, if you don't see a Fire Salamander left of the "Caudata.org" then you are not looking at the latest version of the logo. Load this link and then click "reload" or "refresh" in your browser:

Now what do you think?
 
I like the Firesalamander - and I like the change. Can't we have another logo every day? :D
 
I have liked them all, pretty much equally :) A new one each day would be pretty cool :p but that would make a lot of work for you John I imagine!
 
I like it, it's nice, but I can't for the life of me spot the verrucosus:have you removed it already??
 
I like it very much, really, but since you´re asking for constructive criticism, i´ll say that all of those are salamanders....where are the newts????
I like the fire salmander better, there was no representation of europe before :p
 
Elektra says that those two gigantic newts on the right could be smaller, and a picture of her could easily be inserted. Also, I think Jen was on to something about making them all a bit more appropriately sized in relation to each other. Now every time I look at it I think about the disproportionate sizes. But aren't you sick of all these nitpicky opinions already?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
