Feel the mana power growing inside you!

Here are some concept to replace the old orange logo and the new blue logo.
i like em all, but the bottom right looks rly nice :3
I think the third one might look better if you ever plan to use it as a letter M together with the rest of the word "Manaverse". The others look better as stand-alone. I can't decide...
Don't know what I like best, but I think these are all amazing. Thank you for making them.
Bottom left looked ugliest, top left reminded me a monochromatic version is usually a good idea but looks to me like the icon for a text editor, and can't see any difference from those at right side. Personal opinion.
Ultimately we don't need to emphasize this, knowing what Manaverse is, is much more useful for developers, debugging and "why X doesn't work" than actual players. For example, "why crafting doesn't work": ManaPlus did not deploy a new version with the required bugfix, so branding helps in this case, but ultimately players are after The Mana World's client.
Which is why we at least initially used a blue color scheme: "ManaPlus is the orange client and ManaVerse is the blue one". Quick to distinguish both, so if player finds an issue, finding the guilty party is trivial.
In a sense, while imo the bottom left is the ugliest, it's also the one who makes manaverse look like something new, while the right ones (which imo look exactly the same) imprint the idea that manaverse is really an improvement and sucessor to m+...
...in which regard I feel the current client falls short and is undeserving of such great design XD
And yes, I did see the "beak". It'll vanish at 16×16 version anyway, and given it'll need a few odd formats (and standard SVG) I just assume it won't matter enough in the practice.

No, this is not what I said. You're judging that "look like something new" is something desirable (thus making it the best). I'm not, I'm saying I don't know if we want Manaverse to look like something new (in which case the right ones are kinda too close to M+ logo) or to look like a successor (in which case the right ones are better).
So the bottom left is in my personal opinion, ugly, but from these four variations, it is the one which gives the impression "this is a new thing" the best. But I don't know if this impression is what we're aiming for in first place.
PS. When I say the client does not deserve such great design, I refer to the right versions.
PPS. "ugly" is compared to my own standards, not to what we have 
I think everyone agrees it is better than the current one?
