Do you have any connections to the network?
Debug console, getblockhash 20000
If it doesn't report c4203f4bd41907ed62f4153eed6473a995a02fccdd198ee188eff60080bfca4e something weird happened. Delete blocks & chainstate.

Try this. Also verify that you are on version 1.1.0-pre1-dev.
As for the logo, I really like both versions of this logo, and do in fact prefer the blue one, however it is rather cut and dry that it is a derivative work, and the logo was never offered under an open license. It was offered in a competition for a bounty, community-oriented, yes, but a competition nonetheless. If the work is accepted, we would still need some form of license agreement with the original author to be able to use it at all, be it creative commons or whatever.
The recolor was done without license and cannot be accepted without permission of the original author, which was not given. I'd say that this particular discussion is not up to the community at large, nor even the developers. Whether or not the logo should be allowed to be submitted is between the original author and the designer who recolored it and/or redesigned it.
When comparing this to the many altcoin forks the difference is in the license agreement. We are modifying sources that are licensed to us under an open source license. The agreement expressly allows us to do so. There is no accompanying license agreement with this logo submission, and unless the original is selected as a winner and we are subsequently issued an open license (at which the point would be moot), or unless the original creator agrees to supply some sort of license agreement (perhaps via compensation in either LTCD, BTC, USD, or whatever else they decide upon) I cannot in good faith condone allowing the recolor entry.
Apologies if this offends anyone, but we've reached a discussion that ties directly into the heart of copyright law.
