There ya go, I added the images you wanted to show into your post.
I agree with you, that the GC era Sonic looks horrid. The move to a 3D artwork didn't worked at all.
But at all, my favorite will always be the Dreamcast one. That design is just so cool and full of win. I kinda like it's newest incarnation... but I don't like Silver at all.
His best look is his current one.
AKA the Genesis looking one he uses in SSBB and Mario and Sonic.


The SSBB look is a bit too similar to the Sonic the Hedgehog '06 look too.
Sonic sucks IMO 
The ugliest design I think is the Dreamcast one.
Way to go Sega, you made Sonic look like a rat
Top 3 favorite games: Super Mario Galaxy, The Sims 2 (PC), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
He looks nothing like the Genesis one in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He still looks weird. Why can't they just bring back his original look?
I agree Sonic has been getting more horrid over the years. However, I think his appearance in Brawl is a definite turn in the right direction. Maybe it's because the unbeliveable concentration of win around Brawl makes everytihng related to it awesome by association? =P
Sonic failed because it's design started to appeal away from what Mario was appealing to.
The old Sonic just looks so much better when put up next to what it is now.

Agreed. The Genesis was the best IMO as it was the most friendly and the one most in touch with what Sonic's creator(s) wanted.
As an amusing note, is it just me or could one measure the quill droopage to determine Sonic's age in game time?
"Cute" ages a lot better than "badass", or what they call the later looks.
And I don't really get it. From what I understand they could have kept the old "cute and nice" Sonic and let just the side-characters be "bad and mean".

Hey, in Sonic and the Secret Rings, the genie is always calling him a rat... Maybe that's the look they were going for.
