Subject: Re:  pick a project logo

Here is what I sent to Christian as the major points of agreement and
direction for the next iteration of logo development:

------- start of cut text --------------
If it's okay with you, we decided I'll act as a primary point of contact
with you to keep communication simple and help the refinement process go
as smoothly as possible.  I'll also be copying communication to a bug
we're using to track the project logo process to keep other people in
the loop.

So far, 2 of 3 developers who posted comments on the arrow theme logo
preferred the original "rectangular" concept (4.x and earlier) over the
later "oblong" concept (5.x).  (Justin and Daniel preferred 4.x and 1.x,
Theo preferred 5.x.)

envelope thickness:

  Justin is *very* keen on the "fat white outlines", much preferred to the
  4.x "thin outline" style"

  I prefer the thickness of 4.1 or 4.2.  Not too thin.

colors:

  Justin likes the colors in 1.1 and 1.2, especially the colors of the
  background and envelopes.

  I wish it was easier to tell spam from good by color.  I associate
  spam with "red", but the red in 4.1 and 4.2 is much too intense and
  dark, it sticks out very much.  I like 4.0 the best so far and 1.0
  (the first one under 1.0.37 on the original page) second best
  (although it doesn't have both spam and ham which is something I think
  we want).  I don't really like the feel of 1.1 and 1.2.

arrow thickness:

  The people who care seem to prefer thin so far (4.2).

text:

  the medium font with no bolding (4.1)

  one person did prefer the text integrated into the logo as in the 1.x
  logos

arrow tail:

  I think the blunt shaft tail is better in 4.1 and 4.2 over the tapered
  one in 4.0 (how do you grab it?), but the feather looks somewhat
  better in 4.0 even though it's not an entirely realistic feather
  shape.  Also, is it possible to model the feather more like the Apache
  one?

There has also been a request for a 4-color logo suitable for printing
on a shirt, but I think that's something that can be handled later.  The
button-size logo for web pages is also important, so maybe at some point
we should discuss which final formats are being requested.
