From what I've seen with other Incubator projects the word "Incubating" or "Incubator" is not a requirement in the Logo. I think we should have a version of the AOO logo that is plain and ready to go now.

It is important to acknowledge the Apache Incubator in our releases. This can be done by incorporating the Incubator Egg Logo instead of adding Incubator to the AOO logo. Note that there are new SVG and PNG versions of the Apache Incubator logo available here. [1] These were updated just this week. You will notice that both of the sites are using the new logo.
