I have to admit- I didn't particularly like the new paint scheme either. It first reminded me of a Cubana/Colgan identity crisis. However, after some time, it's slowly growing on me. Also, given the choices, I think a combo of the legacy scheme and the new scheme reeks. I like the old logo, but only on the old paint scheme. Given the two choices, and that a complete "redo" is out of the question, I'll be voting on the new scheme.
Hey, if Doug doesn't like it and we vote it in the scheme he dislikes in it's entirety, then perhaps this increases the odds of a "do-over" with time.
Regardless of paint scheme, I'm just looking forward to moving along and working together at the "New American". Cheers!
