Jul 11, 2011 at 14:21 comment added Iszi +1 to @Soumya92's suggestion. Alternative to "splitting" the bar, I'd suggest just changing the "Ask Question" link in-place. Either make it bold, change the color, and/or underline it?
Jul 11, 2011 at 7:51 comment added user2796 To retain consistency with other sites, could you modify the "Ask Questions" link a little? Make it clear that it is not just another navigational link. Maybe split the navbar, with links on the left, and ask on the right? Other than that, the design is amazing. I love it.

Jul 6, 2011 at 20:39 comment added this.josh What about embedding an invisible watermark in the logo?
Jul 6, 2011 at 20:30 comment added Iszi @Nealmcb - I think I'd like to see a sample of the mixed-case URL version, before putting my vote one way or another on that. But, it is a good point.
Jul 6, 2011 at 20:24 comment added Iszi I actually like the fact that the logo doesn't really represent any Security/IT cliches, and still retains a lot of symbolic value.
Jul 6, 2011 at 19:57 comment added Jin StaffMod @this.josh There are a lot of other elements I'd like to use too. 0s and 1s is another common motif. But I feel it's a bit too cliched for a prominent display. However I can certainly include it elsewhere on the site, for example, on the /error/captcha/404 page.
Jul 6, 2011 at 19:56 comment added this.josh I like the shield as a symbol for confidentiality and integrity. I wish I could think up a symbol for availability.

Jul 6, 2011 at 19:51 comment added this.josh @Jin your artwork is beautiful. I appreciate you discussing the symbolism of the colors, shapes, and relationships to other motifs. This may be too cliche or it may interfere with the cleanness of your design, but I always pictured some binary ones and zeroes. Maybe you could change to lines into a bit stream? Or maybe a fog of red bits around part of the symbol.

Jul 6, 2011 at 19:26 comment added Iszi @JohnC - The logo has been under discussion in the chat room. So far, the only change that has really been proposed and agreed to is for the lion to be "woken up" a bit. As it is, he looks a little tired.

Jul 6, 2011 at 18:32 comment added John C So this is the final logo?
Jul 6, 2011 at 18:18 comment added nealmcb Pretty! I suggest that using mixed case for the URL would make it a lot more readable and user friendly (another crucial issue for security): Security.StackExchange.com
Jul 6, 2011 at 17:31 comment added M'vy This is very nice! I did not think of shield but this is far better than the padlock! I'm totally in!
