Confused at our branding.

I know this purple and orange has been kicking around for awhile on our

Preso but our logo is black/navy and bright red?

Thoughts on cleaning up our logo and colour scheme.

Keep current but change all our docs to these colours or

If we have to stick to purple and orange then

what about a logo something like this… or just some other lame ideas...
