It's silly, but I like the proper 臺灣 better than the lazy version 台灣. It looks more sophisticated and is more official. I vote for the title of the community to have the lazy 台 replaced with the beautiful 臺. Anyone else in? Much love.

My original idea was to split the difference with 臺 in the icon and 台 in the name. Judging by the upvotes this is a popular idea.

I think this is a good approach. The seal script is beautiful and clear in the logo, and 台 in the name seems most common. I like the traditional 臺 when it is large enough to see the strokes, but I'm not as partial to it when it is displayed small and cramped on a screen.
