About the logo

So when will change the logo back to codeforces?

I think this logo looks terrifying.

"Terrifying" is too harsh of a word, though I agree this logo change (without even an official announcement of sort) made me feel like we all have been forcefully drafted into a war of sort.

Disclaimer: I stand on the original ideologies of freedom that Durov strived for with Telegram, and I do feel the arrest was odd, but I also believe forcing everyone to take side without their consent isn't cool.

      Nah, I don't think it's poor, it's just your word choice was overtuned. It's okay.

    thanks for precise formulation of this annoying feeling :)

    I always thought programmers should be aside (above!) political and social unrests as much as possible, otherwise they could do bad things.

    In this case though position of administration is straightforward — unless I'm much mistaken, Codeforces was supported (financially) mainly by Durov from the very early years, though not from exact beginning. So while I don't like this logo and see no sense in it, I understand that administration feels at least obliged to express this meek support.

      IMO this applies to everything. Power in hand is always temptingly catastrophic.

      Yeah, I did forget this. I still feel this out-of-impulse acting is a bit too much though, it could have been done better.

    I agree with this. I don't know much about this whole incident, but I also don't want to feel that I'm supporting a specific side of it without even having carefully searched of what is happening. I think the administrators can show their opinion by writing a separate blog, but not by directly putting it in the logo.

What's wrong with CF??? Codeforces is an academic community, or at least an academic website, why are there so many CP-irrelevant information popping up and even becoming official??

    See my comment above — while I quite agree with you, this is at least understandable. Durov is a controversial person but CF relied heavily on his financial help for 10+ years.
