That is what I thought. Until I saw the time line, I knew I saw the logo before. Guess what is old is new again. Maybe like the GUI and frustration from 1.0 or even 3.0.

Great, a blase' design taking up a maximum amount of space with a aqua blue color reminiscent of the similar blue/green I see used all over Korean advertisements.

I'm with everyone else. This had better be a solid release, with respectable operation or all hell is going to break loose again.
