2nd thoughts…I down loaded and I see a different color. How does a light orange look for “Open” text?

If the printing is done in Gray scale? Is the M and the three turning points still visible as three? I still like **OpenEMR ** the best (One UPPER CASE three lowercase followed by three UPPERCASE, the show the humble position the Dr. has to do his work). I also loved the "lighter blue, green, dark blue, turnings points to be distinctive from Windows colors. Three is an improvement, but “yellow green Red and blue” are the Colors belonging to Windows… WE ARE OpenSOURSE. I like whatever improvement is done in style with original ideas of this thread.

Would likely not have a greyscale version, either full color or black and white. The OPENEMR style was chosen intentionally along with specific fonts to keep a consistent look for each letter.
As for the “yellow green red and blue are the colors belonging to Windows”… yes, Microsoft’s corporate logo does include red, green, blue, yellow. However, 3 of those colors are primary colors, which certainly do not belong to Windows or Microsoft.
I pulled the Microsoft logo and placed it side by side the current iteration of our logo and the shades of blue and yellow are distinctly different. I am not concerned with users looking at our logo and thinking Microsoft

I love to think that OpenSource is different from Micro Soft. So even the far fetched thought of connection with Micro Soft should not give me the feeling of connecting. But OpenEMR is NOT Micro Soft. OpenEMR can be used in WIndows/MS setting, but it has not any connection with Micro Soft, and I am very glad there are no connections. (I can’t find the colors green, light en dark blue back in this thread). They might have been in a seperate document. The green represents the day color, light blue the day break and the sunset as represented in our official logo of today the dark blue represents the night. Together these colors (with the idea of representing the Software developers, IT, doctors and other users) formed for me the statement that OpenEMR is a world/international production to keep the medical profession going in the digital age. So just for me, please be concerned about colors. Only the color blind person does not see red, green yellow, blue. Be aware ;-)) even with a new logo of any color, I will stay and be a fan of OpenEMR.

Not being a professional designer, please see my imperfect impression of the colors i liked. Light blue
should be of course both the same light blue color.

Update: Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet recently (moved apartments, more-than-normal day job busyness, etc). Good news is Len did an excellent job with providing mockups for the new website using the new logo and new color scheme Robert provided. He also put together a version working with the new logo and color scheme Pieter W provided as well. I plan on spending the weekend implementing the design. Will touch back then!

Update: The site is ready to ship. Brady and I have been working on debugging some issues with introducing the new site on the existing Sourceforge server. The Pull Request is here if anyone is interested in the status on the debugging: https://github.com/bradymiller/website-openemr/pull/4
Note there are some additional tasks that can be done after the site ships (improvements to some of the code, the 3rd slider image, incorporating the new logo on social media, trademarking the new logo, etc). Also want to follow up with Robert since we didn’t go with the proposed yellow theme.

Update: The new site is up but it doesn’t look right mobile because I need to check in the meta viewport tags:
Will do that sometime tonight and will followup with a new thread to tackle some additional low-hanging fruit tasks / ask for feedback.

@Brady, @Board: Thanks for allowing me to put the new site together. I believe the new site and the new logo from Len and Robert are milestones for OpenEMR from a branding perspective. Hopefully visitors to the site will be even more inspired to start using and/or contributing to the project.
**Update 1: ** Mobile viewport stuff is fixed in this PR: New slide image and meta tags for mobile by MatthewVita · Pull Request #5 · openemr/website-openemr · GitHub
Update 2: Consider this thread deprecated. Any follow up tasks/feedback should be posted in the new thread (strategically placed in the Developers board): https://sourceforge.net/p/openemr/discussion/202506/thread/be14f8de/
