Do we need to have this phpBB logo on the forums?

I would swear it wasn't there, something Spectrum related used to be there. Or is my memory playing tricks on me?

It’s cached. If you reload the page without using the browser cache, it’ll disappear.

Oh, and maybe he can then bump up the logo’s resolution while he’s at it. Looks really blurry, compared to the text that surrounds it.

The original logo is back. Thanks for the reports. The maximum size is 149x52 pixels which is hard-coded into the phpBB prosilver theme that we use.

[mention]Ast A. Moore[/mention],

[mention]4thRock[/mention] has re-created the logo in SVG format which scales according to zoom level. Feel the quality!
