Thus, it's better to show this to the Git community at large. :-) If you or anyone is shooting for a re-design, I would suggest to somehow relate to the current "Git brandings" in use: http://git.or.cz/git-logo.png http://henrik.nyh.se/uploads/git-logo.png If you think you have a cooler logo, that's fine too, but then it's again better to present it explicitly, I believe. The latter is used especially within mSysGit, the former is used more widely - at the current homepage, as Gitweb logo, and in various modifications like http://git.nyh.se/git-favicon.png http://members.cox.net/junkio/git.png http://unfuddle.com/images/screens/source.big.jpg (top left ;) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis GNU, n. An animal of South Africa, which in its domesticated state resembles a horse, a buffalo and a stag. In its wild condition it is something like a thunderbolt, an earthquake and a cyclone. -- A. Pierce
