openmind, please post your question as a new topic in the Help using Inkscape forum.
Wow, the 2nd version looks like a much meaner, angrier tiger to me! Even with the change in the scowl lines on the nose, I don't see he's lost any character. I'm certainly no expert, but to me, a logo should naturally not have or need as much character as a stand alone art piece might. Because the logo is more like a symbol, where simplicity is equally important to character (imo).
I remember when I was in college (I attended 2 colleges, and this was the case at both) there was a logo version of the mascot, like would be put on athletic uniforms, for example. But then there was also a more artistic version of the mascot, containing more detail and character, that would typically appear on letterheads, and in places where simplicity wasn't as necessary.
Well, I don't know really what your logo is for, but that was just a thought, for whatever it's worth.
