I really like the ideas for both the ore and the block. The block should be a little more decorated like your design, rather than just a flat looking block. I do have reservations about supporting the ore because I do love the old texture, and it would be very hard for Mojang to change it because it is (like you said) so iconic. It would be extremely difficult for them to change all of the merchandise they already have that features the old ore design. But in all reality, I think they should change the ore too. It makes a lot more sense to have it look similar to the emerald ore. After all, it is also a gem.
The ore is definitely too symbolic to change, and there's already quite a bit of merchandise with it pictured, which would have to be updated and ARGH.
The block is debatable, though I'd personally rather it stayed as is.
I like the new Diamond Block. It looks interesting and different then other blocks. However, I don't really like the new ore. It seems too similar to Emerald Ore. Other then that, I give this support.

Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!
I think the emerald ore should be changed to the "old diamond ore" style, the current emerald ore looks like something out of a mod which takes away from that vanilla feel.
To tell you the truth, I don't like the new ore you're presenting us-partly because it copies the emerald one, partly because the old one is fine, and partly just because of my opinion. However, the new Diamond Block is pretty nice!
Support.
But the current diamond ore kinda copies all of the other ores? :i
Even though I've played this game since alpha, I like this idea. I think that iron and gold should have the same style, lapis and redstone the same style and diamond and emerald the same style. Coal and quartz can be loners.

No support, I feel diamonds are good the way they are. If you want, you can use a texture pack. I would like diamonds to glow a bit in the dark though.
I like the texture for the block; diamond blocks need to be a little less hideous, in my opinion, because as is they're fairly tacky.
However, I don't think we need to change the ore texture. I like the ore texture. It's nostalgic for me when I run into it, and I just don't see why it's necessary.
Prior to my last post, this thread does make sense a bit. The diamond ore should be kept the same, that's for sure, but the diamond block should be made in some way better. I don't think it should be identical to the emerald block however.

Perhaps if more jewels are implemented in the future, they could all follow the same pattern? :L

And mine is not at all identical. o.o
