Short answer
We aren't going to change the logo. While the shapes are similar at a glance, the treatment and visual identity are completely different. As the number of site designs increase, it will be impossible to avoid logo collisions.

cool, they're completely ignoring the consensus on both sites and elsewhere
And quite frankly as soon as I read: "The short answer. It's not going to change." I decided that the "developers" of this site have absolutely no interest in anything that their users have to say, on anything, and have decided that they are the penultimate rulers, and deciders, of all facets.
tbh that was something that kind of turned me off to SE almost immediately. just reading around on meta about various things, it seemed like every time there was an unpopular move made by administration (or whatever you want to call them) they were just adamant in not listening to user response and/or uninterested in transparency
there was the issue with Shog9 doing the text equivalent of plugging his ears and yelling "I CAN'T HEAR YOU", and now there's this, where we basically get flipped off
as much as I have issues with the way certain things happen here, a) it's a lot better, I think, than macro-SE, and b) the issues I do have here are largely with policy that comes from being an SE site
the migrate thing is absolutely strange to me. I understand it on some level (don't let Just Anybody decide to migrate something to a site they don't have familiarity with) but... also I don't understand it
I'll be honest - I don't mind the fact that it's similar to the workplace icon, but a) I don't use Workplace (except when there's a Hot Network Post there of someone asking a question like "Is It Legal For My Boss To Threaten My Life Because I Borrowed His Chair While He Was On Vacation?") and b) I don't think a lot of the site icons look "intuitive" necessarily
I mean, if we're convinced that we have issues with puzzle quality, it seems like the logical thing would be to encourage people to workshop their puzzles
we talk about stuff getting voted up too much - but when the system is "here's stuff to vote on. you get to use votes. your brain sees a vote thing and wants to push a button. but! voting down hurts you", well, stuff is going to get upvoted that shouldn't
Update: @Doorknob made some important points and I agree with him. There need not be a limit on the number of users per box. Also, the criterion for helping new users doesn't necessarily have to be 4k rep. It could be a lower rep threshold or something like time spent on the site.

“I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years

it has to be a form of media ("stuff that i say", not a person because it's a "tool of the government"), and the only forms of media of those that you both look at and listen to are tv and movies
I woke up thinking about yesterday's message. While drinking my coffee and the TV buzzed with the morning news, I kept trying to figure it out:
"All codes - compromised - don't use! I have sent information through two independent channels, hope you'll get it at least on one. Emily Stone. PS: ...
Until there's a better answer, the best workaround is to @mention the question-asker's name in a comment manually posted on an answer when edited.
One thing to note is that, while you're not notified per se, the question does get bumped back to the top of the main page whenever anything is edited. — question_asker13 hours ago
^^^^ yes, that's question_asker's name on question_asker's comment manually posted on an answer about "question-asker's name in a comment manually posted on an answer"
Two farmers of similar size and build, one with a new red card full of potatoes and onions, and one with an old red cart full of onions and potatoes, leave their farm on the first day of April every year.
The journey takes eight days with good weather and as many as fifteen days with bad ...
it's no more reasonable an answer than "he took a special government heart-attack pill because he realized his identity had been compromised when he saw an enemy spy at the restaurant"
