As Petr says, we have had the (apologies, but to me) ugly logo for a while, so it is widely used, and perhaps it has even grown on people. BazaarNG managed to grab the best concept logo of the lot, IMHO, with the 'merge' roadsign. > If you think you have a cooler logo, that's fine too, but then it's > again better to present it explicitly, I believe. Can we separate the 2 things? The better fonts and layout look like a win to me. WRT the logo, the current one is not a particularly strong image, and we haven't spent millions in plastering it over magazines or anything. So a good new logo would be something to take on. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
