I had seen another logo previous, so maybe it's a new one that is up on the Christian Daniel site? I like both of the ones I have seen.
On the latest Billboard 100 chart, Cassie has moved up to #3 while Joc is still at #5.

The Bad Boy i-Squads have closed. From the sites:
Due to circumstances beyond our control and at the decision of Bad Boy Records, we will be closing down the Bad Boy i-Squad effective immediately.
I don't mind them closing as much as the sudden nature of it. I had a ton of points built up over time. My standing:
Bad Boy i-Squad
181,175 points (25th)
Last redeemed something on April 16, 2005
Cheri Dennis i-Squad
38,075 points (13th)
Never redeemed something
Yung Joc i-Squad
43,400 points (3rd)
Never redeemed something
What this means is that I have spent a bunch of my time at these sites promoting Bad Boy artists with the expectation of being able to redeem these points for CDs, etc. and now, I have little to show for it. The decision to close the i-Squads is going to be met negatively by fans in general, but to close it like this is terrible. The right way to do it would have been to give the i-Squad members a window of time where they could redeem their points for whatever was left in the i-Squad shops as they have done with previous closures. That would have greatly softened the blow. But, instead, our points count for absolutely nothing and they are leaving literally hundreds (thousands?) of fans high and dry. That's a shame.
We've got some new additions to our audio player. They are:
Come To Me by Diddy featuring Nicole Scherzinger.
I've had this track on repeat all day. Really liking it.
Showstopper by Danity Kane.
Me & U (Remix) by Cassie featuring Diddy and Yung Joc.
This is a great remix, featuring a verse from Diddy and Yung Joc.
It's Goin' Down (Remix) by Yung Joc featuring Rick Ross, Slim Thug, Jody Breeze, Diddy and Block.
Another awesome remix.
Gettin' Off by Diddy.
This is an interlude from Diddy's upcoming album. As far as interludes go, I think it's pretty cool. Good interludes generally go in one of two directions, I think. They are either funny or personal. This one's personal and, well, it works that way.
Relax and Take Notes by 8 Ball & MJG featuring Project Pat and The Notorious B.I.G.
Me & U by Cassie.
I Know You See It by Yung Joc featuring Brandy "Ms. B" Hambrick.
Some interesting stuff (emphasis mine) came out of the AllHipHop.com interview with Cardan:
AllHipHop.com: Speaking of ghostwriting, in edition to Nelly, you’ve also written for Bow Wow, Lil’ Kim, Diddy. What are some of the songs you’ve written that people may be familiar with?
Cardan: ... I just did the new Diddy and Mary single. It’s a new Diddy single about to come out, featuring Mary, produced by Rich Harrison....
AllHipHop.com: So, what’s up with the album situation? You’re about to put out a mixtape, but aren’t you also working on a record deal?
Cardan: Yeah, I’m working on my record deal as well. Actually, I’ve been talking to Puff about something. He wants to do something with me. I’m just walking out the Universal building [where I was] talking to Eric Nixon; he wants to do something with me. I’m trying to see who has the best offers and who’s gonna be behind the project because I just don’t want to take their money an they just don’t be behind it. I’m looking for the right support and team to get behind me. ...
AllHipHop.com: What’s it [the mixtape] called and where can people find it?
Cardan: It’s called Free Agent Million Dollar Baby Mixtape. ... I got Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Peedie Crack, Lil’ Cease…I got DL Gunz from Philly, I got Akon, Puffy, so it’s gonna be pretty dope.
I can't recall hearing much of Cardan besides I Really Like It, Do You Remember?, Jam On It and Just a Touch (Bad Boy Remix). But, what I heard, I generally liked. It would be interested if he signed with Bad Boy, especially given his rocky background with Mase - though, he says they're cool now.

Bad Boy now has 3 on the list. Cassie's Me & U has moved up to the #4 spot (peak) while It's Goin' Down has fallen, but is still strong at #5. It's been in the top 5 for how many weeks now? I Know You See It is in at #96, as well. Good stuff.
When was the last time that Bad Boy had an album with 2 tracks that hit the Hot 100? Longer than I thought - you have to go all the way back to Welcome Back by Mase. Congrats to everyone involved there.
Bad Boy Online has been updated. As far as release dates, Cheri Dennis' album is given the ominous "coming soon" with no date. 8 Ball & MJG are August, Cassie is August 8, Danity Kane is August 15 and Diddy is September. I think that may already be outdated, though, as I just read an article that said Diddy's album is in October now.
