I really like this. How about making the circle around the logo thinner and maybe silver to contrast with the quaggan. More like a badge visually. It would make it feel less flat. Maybe even make it oval and not as round as this.
It was a quick change so here we go! But, with the silver, it looks more like a picture than a logo. Logos/icons are better "flat" as it is meant to be more memorable, iconic, simple, clean, less colors, not busy etc. Most logos will go with monochromatic or two colors etc. Firefox is orange and blue, Google favicon is just blue and white, guild wars 2 logo red and white, facebook blue and white f, twitter a blue green bird or blue green lettering, etc
I think the circle is also more appropriate for a logo/icon, also for usage purposes, we want it to fit into a square ratio as an avatar, browser favicon, etcI personally think the blue version is better, and represents the ehmry water theme better
