Can you forward me the discussion, then? Because it was definitely a mistake
for the project to adopt the same logo used by PostgreSQL Inc. (since you
folks seem to have been using it first). Mostly I suspect that nobody was
really thinking about marketing at all in those days.
I think this means that we need to work on a new logo, post-haste. It's a
little too late for the conventions this summer, but we'll need to change the
logo ASAP after that.
With all respect to Lamar and Jan, the elepant-diamond is not really feasable.
It reproduces poorly at low resolutions or limited color palettes -- heck,
even at high resolution it's a bit muddy. Frankly, a usable logo has to be
draw-able on a cocktail napkin with a ball-point pen, or people will ignore
it. Also, what would we be *saying* with an elephant in a diamond?
Ideas, anyone?
