On some tournaments I see that there is a different logo for Protoss - it's flipped by horizontally, so it looks more like a logo instead a vertical thing. Terran and Zerg logos are more square'ish: Terran's one is a triangle, when Zerg one - more like circle. Only Protoss logo is more vertical and doesn't looks nice in small square/circle icons. I've decided to remake that special Protoss logo in bigger size.
Also this double-sided Protoss logo more reminds us about their air units, like Phoenixes and Tempests
Want to remember, that I've not spent some hours and many photoshop skills to create a perfect logo, because mostly and probably it will be used for banners and small/medium sized icons.
I don't think I can learn to prefer your logo over the original one, I'm just too used to it. That being said I think you did a pretty good job, it reminds me of a phoenix or a space ship when seen from the top. However, the 'wings' are a little too thick for my liking, they make them seem a little disproportional. Other than that, good work!
hmmm IMO, it looks awkward on the bottom with the 1 curve. I know it's part of the regular logo, but with there being the side things, the bottom part just looks weird :X

As I said in the 1st post, there was no purpose to make it perfect, because mostly it can be used for small/medium sized banners and logos. If someone wants to use it for wallpaper or other HD things, they're better to draw their version of Protoss logo

Yeah it's a little (way) too late but still very cool. Would be awesome if blizzard just declared this the official protoss logo and put it on everything in the game and shirts and stuff lol.

True. Nothing special. Just remake of protoss icon from some tournaments
Sorry, the original logo is better in my opinion
Everything original is better, including Brood War. But alternatives still can exist
Not bad, but the awkward not-quite-symmetry bugs me.
The two "wings" and the center piece are perfectly symmetrical, but the spikes at the top and bottom are not. I get that you're expanding on the original logo, and have left those pieces the way they are, but it just looks weird to me. I think the problem is that you took a non-symmetrical logo as your base, and added all symmetrical stuff, so the leftover stuff from the old logo just end up looking awkward.

I like this. I agree that it might fit better for the direction Blizzard is trying to take in Heart of the Swarm, where they want to make air play more viable. It almost seems like an evolution for the Protoss. How cool.
