Thats about what I was imagining would make it look nicer. I like that one. Perhaps the "SE" could be fixed up a bit.

Thanks, Hmm what do you mean by Fix it up a bit, could you elaborate yourself a bit more?

Edit:

Idk if this makes any difference to you guys but i tried to make the gas giant appear more round.



More details and darker:

Maybe white or blue color, something to contrast the planet better.

I think blue should be used as primary color as the old SE logo is blue, and the default UI are all blue.

I played up a bit with your logo and my ideas, and came up with this:


And this:


I started with the orangey rings color, before reverting back to the blue color, but I finally kept the two because it might look good to you. Those are just my ideas wink

Playing around in Photoshop with the "SE" logo shaping, maybe you'll like it to use collaboratively with the planet or another element.





Can always transfer it to vector if needed.

Just a sample using the silhouette version to give an idea of how it might work with it.

AthaxDesigns, the "SE" text seems out of place, as if it was just laid on top of the logo rather than being an actual part of it. If the text was warped to fit within the circle, it would look much better. I created this quick example in photoshop:

It's not perfect, but this is what I'm talking about; find a way to warp the letters to neatly fit into a circle.

Also, the text should be larger so it fits within the entire circle. There should still be a border between the text and edge of the planet. Also: whatever you change, the E should still be identifiable as an E while overlapped by the ring; it shouldn't be too much of a problem though.

A logo needs to look good when reduced to it's simplest form; i.e. into exactly two colors like this:

Exaggerating the spacing between the rings would be a good idea.
