Don't like it. To me it looks too plastic, like a stickerbook filled with random images. I'd rather see a clear logo-banner that you can take in your grip and feel it.

Now that I think of it, it's kinda like a DT cover: just things put together looking like a random photoshop. Just a bit too much.

PA is a business. It has to be or it would shut down, this argument is ridiculous.

It looks like a toddler threw up their baby food on the front page. Sorry, but I just can't stand it. Dead

Not to say it wasn't designed very well and professionally (which it was). I just think it's ugly.

I don't like any of the options. The old logo really wasn't that great (I've never understood the font choice and color scheme), but all of those make it abrasive, jarring, and horrendously '90s. Just, make it all go away.

I think this one is the best one compositionally. Visually, the other elements don't distract from the progarchives logo, which is nicely centered. The faces on either side are the most prominent of the other elements, and they face towards the center, so they really draw the eye to the logo. The background has lots of nice details, but they feel like the background. The only thing that maybe could be changed in this one is using some of the iconic album art used in the one we hav now - I don't actually recognise too much of what's in this one.

Plus, I can't be 100% certain until I see it in the website Embarrassed

And, once again, I don't think you'll take offense but I am a fan of your work so this feedback applies to the use of your collage as a banner, not to your collages themselves.

Thanks for showing us the alternates.  I think if a change is going to be made at least keep the current one up for a while.
This one's also nice:
