Yes, this is important. But thjere also can be a flashy version and a simple
version, for example, the Gnome feet is colorful but can easily be reduced

Just a minor nit, I think we shouldn't make the logo at all, we should let
professional artists do it. A gimp contest would be ideal. I was very

were good logos to choose from.
