I see your point FogNL considering the diameter of Proteus.
The Classic wings style can't be too wide and highest as on old GGTS or els they will curve on the diameter.
So they need to be somthing like Penelope V1 maybe.
I'm sure Imeo is aware of that.
By the way your example is somthing I wouldn't use,I have 15 originals of them but only with the small font.
Regarding the GG logo it happen that there are more then one versions that I like.
And for me it's not on the horizontal/vertical topic but more about size and details!
I like details and proportion in details,so there are some horizontal versions I don't like as well.
"The GG" should be in size proportion to the wings on one side,and in proportion to all other TMF
From the other side.
Too big a wings don't leave space enough for details,or make should I say-details in proportion
To each other.
For horizental version the one in dspin picture look to me the most proportional and fine from all others.
Not too big a wings leave place for TMF and The GG spread around in proportion to the wings.
For vertical version my prefernce are well known to all,I find the JGG to be the best,not mimic some stylish present
Mode,it stand a part from what on market and and got a carecter of is on, not rev... Of GGTS,I like it so!!!
Proteus/Esterigon are somthing steps above all others- it's must be make correct this time
So if we go on horizental my opinion is that I would prefer the designe on the old GGTB but with the Penelope V1 wings.
