Wow.
I'm not normally one for noob-bashing, but absolutely everything about that logo sucks - the smiley face, the un-original cog, the stupid font, the crap image quality...
I noticed that someone else submitted an alternative - not great IMO, but a heck of a lot more professional looking:

That ones pretty good if a little bland. That OSX orb style is way too overused on both sides of the operating system ocean.
Don't really want to say it, but that blissfully-hi-on-some-illegal-drug smile is gonna scare people away. That other logo is just so much better in every aspect, but the area where it turns to blocks needs to have a glow of a different color to it. I'd say purple would look the best.
Soooo they gave up on their 10 years old or so logo that everyone would recognize and associate with GameMaker to put a dumb looking smiley inside a Construct like cog? That's failing at its finest.

Perhaps because it's been resized? If you bother to click on view image you'll perhaps see it's not so bad in terms of quality.
Oh wow. I thought this was a joke, but it turns out that it's genuine. What on earth were they thinking..? If Clickteam ever do something like this I'll probably drink some milk and punch a wall.
geez the guy is amazing. True, some people who were against the new logo went too far, but if 90% of the gamemaker community united against the new logo (regardless of who made it), maybe, just maybe, it's because it actually sucked.
"To tell the truth I got even more confident when I saw my competitors’ creations than I was when there wasn’t much known about them. I’m absolutely not saying they’re bad, but I can clearly understand why YYG didn’t choose them as the final logo."
I literally fell down my chair when I saw this, specially knowing his design was last and by far in the official poll (before his logo was announced as the final one).
"I loved the originality and great lengths of effort some of the commenters took to express their frustration with not being the winner"
a great facepalm moment there, assuming he wasn't joking.
The logo itself isn't awful, the problem is it's just plain childish and is far from being appropriate for a game making tool. I don't use game maker, and honestly the logo put me off even more. I would certainly not put a splash screen with that logo in my game, that's for sure.
