This appears to be the general consensus.

I basically did it to see what people thought. I didn't have much idea 
what opinion most people held about the logo, and a good way to probe 
that was to open the possibility of a new one. The opinion appears to be 
that it is very good how it is, with the possible exception of the font 
used for the name. I (with some help) will be trying out a possible 
change in font, but that will only be adopted with strong agreement from 
all you folks. I'm certainly not changing the logo for the sake of it, 
don't worry. I completely agree with the opinion that logos and style 
should not be changed just to keep the graphic artists in a job. But I 
think it was definitely worth the discussion it has generated.

One (well, 3) question(s) I still don't know the answer to:
How well known is the logo, outside the people who already use it?
How widely known is MailScanner as a package?
Are there any other packages that are known about as well as 
MailScanner, so I can get an idea of how widely it is known?

I know it is downloaded about 30,000 times per month, but how many of 
these translate into upgrades or new sites?
