If anyone has been browsing the issues/svn updates lists, you may have seen that there is a issue about the emulator logo created by me so Im gonna copy-paste the first post about it.
We all know that Dolphin stable releases are a major point in the emulator, and we try to get the best of the svn until now. Since we're making something that important, I'd like to suggest to change that old-web 2.0 styled glossy logo to something more stylish and better from a design-wise point.
My point is just to change the logo to something else that would help the emulator to get a better and "cooler" look along the cleaner UI. The frontend on an emulator like this one should be clean and new-looking. I know this is not a competition either, but the pcsx2 people changed the design a while ago too, again, to something more stylish
After getting lots of responses from some people and commiters, I finally reached a point where I created something that maintains dolphin look from the past icon and its personality.
Since dolphin uses a GNU GPL v2 licence, im gonna suggest to change the current icon for the RC 3.0 release to this one:

That's a 128px version, but it does look fine in 32px, 45px, 64px, 128px, 256px, 512px, and 1024px versions. The source is mostly vectorial, but I created it on a 1400px size.
It was made vector-like on PS, using simple but nice-looking shapes.
Also, the about dolphin section would be most likely changed to something like this too:

So yes. I'm looking forward to get some feedback and please, if you are gonna post "Its cool" or "I don't like it" please don't. I'm trying to get some constructive feedback if possible.
Also, for those that are curious and want to check the issue on the svn tracker, its on http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=4307
