I vote for entry 3 on the white.
Though to truly represent it should have through hole technology not the surface mount shown.
Not that I am pickey though.
I like rotating logos better never stay the same for too long.

Updated Image and Voting - 06/27/2006 23:19 EST
I asked Dragon to do a third variation of Logo 1 with a one pixel white border around the yellow version of the logo, which I personally prefer. I believe the third variation would now work best on backgrounds of ALL colors. Hopefully, problem solved. In any case, here is the updated voting, which will be ending in a few days:
Number 1: 5 Votes (Bill Loguidice, Forcefield58, Fighter17, Catatonic, Dragon57)
Number 2: 2 Votes (Heyspider, Mike Gupta)
Number 3: 4 Votes (Seb, Megaperfect, Mark Vergeer, Spin)
Number 4: 0 Votes (new entry)

Thank you.
I think all the logos are expressing a vision for the site I don't really understand. The stuff that attracted me to AA in the first place was the focus on classic gaming. You guys know old school like almost nobody I know. (There's maybe one other guy. He wrote a port of Astrosmash for the Amiga.) I loved the chiptunes article Matt wrote. I think that's what brought me to the site in the first place. That forum thread where people were guessing tunes from Sinclair games was just amazing. I probably listened to the Gleylancer music for days after that guy with the power glove icon posted it. Imagine that, jamming to music from a Mega Drive game I'd never heard of. Brilliant!
I suppose I should have said more at the time, huh? :P Regardless, thank you for both the classic and the obscure. That's what I love about AA.
Entry 1
The first entry is my favourite.

New Entry
Bill and I have added a late entry to the lineup, so you may want to have another peek and see what you think. Since it was designed by my wife, an aspiring graphics designer, I'm definitely going to refrain from making any comments about it. Hey, I know what side my bread is buttered on! :-P
