I agree with you. Many good ideas for improving this site immensely, with just a small change of code, have fallen on deaf ears. It seems like the steemit developers only read github, and not their own site.

The people of steemit should have come to the community for logo ideas. But, the first we knew about it, our eyes were bleeding from this neon aqua color.

This new logo is like one I would design. And since I am not a designer (of logos) I know my designs, unless divinely inspired, fall short. Hire real talent to do this all important thing.
