Before I'm going to confuse people: I didn't mean to start the whole voting procedure this soon; I should have worded that better. After asking around a bit and seeing the reactions here it looks like most people would like to see a new logo. The license is also troublesome (and very hard to find on the webpage btw). I agree with James Treacy's observation that we will probably need two logos: one logo with a liberal license that people can just freely, and another, more restricted logo for things like official CD's and so. To phrase this in another way: we will have a logo that everyone can slap onto their webpage, t-shirts, posters, etc., and a logo that can be used for `official' products, like CD's made using our own iso-images. It would be very interesting to see what logo-sets people would come up with. Now we have to decide on how to choose the new logo. An obvious source would be a gimp-contest. That has already produced very nice results for other projects before. As has been demonstrated earlier it does not work if all developers have to choose amongst all submissions. Unless someone objects within 24 hours, I'll ask the gimp people about starting a contest. The final formal vote will also have `further discussion' and the current logo if you don't like the gimp-contest idea. To select the winner we should form a small group of developers to select a top-10 from all submissions and use those as the other options for the official vote. If people want to be in this group please drop me a note, otherwise I'll make a couple of suggestions myself (no, I'm not going to suggest myself).
