A first draft:
I admit to not loving the first draft, but that is the nature of a first draft. Suggested improvements welcomed from anybody — but the final decision is Roy’s and his alone.
(The draft is in .GIF format, for use as an image on a page. To use it as a favicon it will have to be converted to .ICO, which can be done once the design has been approved.)
I see no reason why the original favicon could not continue to be used, if wanted; it also benefits from being clear and easily readable, and the bottle image clearly a bottle.
The new logo, if a square box were drawn around it does not easily facilitate the addition of letters above or below. In your draft you have effectively cut off a little of the bottom part, plus allowed space between the bottles. An alternative would be to instead cut off the white space above, so extending the bottles slightly, plus allow then the overlap as per original, so that you could then place the FTLoP letters over the bottles instead (likely in white, perhaps). Not sure how that might look, just a thought.
Alternatively, perhaps one vertical bottle, at the right of the box, with FTLo on the left in black and P in red within the bottle on the right?
