Maybe we should define old vs. new logo? What I am seeing first is the
CITRIX logo (black letters, 2 red dots, light gray gradiated type
background( Then it changes to the only other logo I ever saw with v9
clients that says Citrix MetaFrame
This is with web client. Behavior is seen with a clean install of v10, as
well as a v9 install where v10 was installed afterwards. Farm servers are
PS4.0 R02

Is this possibly a caching problem with the client? In other words for
some reason it is using the cache from the old client? Just a thought.
I'll tell you what, when I tried installing 10 over 9 nothing worked. I
ended up unistalling everything, deleting the citrix folder from add remove
programs, going to registry and deleting the Citrix Key, and clearing my IE
cache and reinstalling and finally got it to work.
