a ball represents a gay in Turkish languages.  :crazy:

I"d rather see the old checkmark back.

Well. What I think is when choosing a logo for a brand they have to extra careful to make the logo not collide with a concept or anything that may be a specific thing in a culture.

For example they would not be able to sell a meat product with a logo of a pig here. Or maybe the boingball may seem a little bit gay to some people in Turkey. Or maybe the cow of the gateway could offend someone in India :) You have to be very careful when you want to sell your product globaly.
