The ReactOS logo is an ugly design.
Until you
manage to get that wonky off-balance thing you prefer to be
accepted as the official logo, whether it is ugly or not is not
relevant. There is a procedure for changing established things. Your
method of just going ahead and changing things without asking is not
only rude but wrong. If you want to change things, you will have to go
through me first. If you have a problem with me, you have a problem
with changing things. So I suggest you consider your options.
Also, it's far too complex to be used as a start
button image and looks out
of place.
It's a bloody orb with wisps (rings) around it. Complex my eye.
The official Windows logo isn't used on the start
button. A neater version
is used in the same way.
A "neater version". You mean the shadow? I have employed a similar way
to make the icon clear at 16x16:

As you can see, both with Windows and with ReactOS, it's practically
the same thing. I'm beginning to get the idea you are making arguments
up for the sake of having arguments in your offence.
This logo is the original ReactOS start menu logo and
should be kept IMO.
It's as much a placeholder as the "original"
Everaldo icons were.
