<p>
Our old logo presented a few challenges:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li">
It was wider than it was high (21:16), which made it a bit awkward for some web applications since it didn't fit well in a square.
</div></li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li">
It had some very fine details (the tower, the ice cap, the water in the valleys) that din't scale down well.
</div></li>
</ul>
<p>
In trying to solve these, I came up with a round alternative:
