When I first saw it - I loved it. And now that I've seen it some more - I still love it.

Edgy and focused - sort of like SS itself!!!

Nice job - Chad

I like it, when you look at it long enough, it looks like the lense of a camera or the blunt tip of a pencil... maybe it's just the arty side of me coming out again. Like it anyhow.

I was just thinking a few days ago that the logo did seem a little old school. However, the new one the jury is still out for me. I am digging the font. It is pretty good. However, I agree with a previous comment that the emblem part looks like a freehand knockoff. I am assumming they tryed to represent a camera lense with it but it is a almost too simplified to where it most people won't know what it represents. A logo should convey symbolic resemblence and this a little watered down. Would have been cool to have a contest for contributors to post ideas and let people vote. However, it will grow on me and it is a lot more "artistic" than the last...a step in the right direction.

If it wasn't a logo, I could send one in just to see if it gets rejected! Sorry SS, I still say it's a cameleon's eye ball.

New logo is terrible. Please return the old logo. I liked it so much.

From having a distinct logo that symbolized what Shutterstock is doing, they now have a generic circle thing that looks similar to dozens of other logos.

Hopefully, they didn't waste much money on this.

Oh, and the name now reads "sh utt er st o ck". That must be designed by an engineer.

The new logo is bad, the old one was worse. Sorry, have to be honest.

Sorry, but it reminds me of another microstock site logo.

I do like the lettering actually, but the logo itself not so sure.

Agree circles need to be more balanced/even/whatever; probably thinner on the inner ones if it was me.

My first take on it though was too similar to a competitors look. Though its quite different in shape, its the a very similar color and still uses circles.
