Hi,
To fit more in with the Jakarta style we need a new pretty word header.
What do you think about

Doesn't really work for me, but neither does the exisiting A logo.

I like the shield with the A on it. It needs to be a little less complex
and more simpler IMHO because it needs to fit into small places. (like out
banner ;]).
Cheers,

threw up a quick sketch in coreldraw. Not much,
but I do feel this could become nice.
What do you think, should I try and do a quality
one?
greetz!

Now that's a good idea. It captures the legendary aspect, without
demanding any specific knowledge of folk.

I agree with Berin here.
(...)
If a redesign of the logo is neccessary/wanted, I suggest getting a simple
toon-like icon ala Tomcat/SuSE/Enhydra/Linux/etc. Does not have to be an
animal, though =)
(...)
The current blocks in the 'A' are nice for those that understand, but mean
nothing (probably) to new users.
I'm guessing that there are a lot of people out there who have no idea
what avalon is (in mythical context, I mean), so a logo pointing at
that would not help either.
(...)
The key terms regarding avalon are "server" and "framework". Building an
image around "framework" probably results in horrible things. Server,
though, might be nice. A possibility would be a butler named Avalon
serving up a computer....
(...)
Anyway, I definately do not think moving from the current logo to
an even less graphical/iconic form would be a smart move.

greetz,
LSD, who's going back to bed (flu :-(
PS: - a shield with a big A on it, together with a spear sporting
a banner that says "Avalon"?

The logo.
Who said we had to bend to an arbitrary standard of a word logo? The "A"
with avalon written on the side is distinctive, and is of sufficient
high quality as to be professional.

Which bit - the logo - or conforming to the style ?
;)

Don't take it personal, but I think it's a step back from what we already
have.
