i think its superb, the crystal effect is very good and the letters
are very clear. i like the black letter with red flame.

It's a fantastic piece of art, but too complex as a logo IMHO
I would use it in some contexts, but the number of colours etc., would make
it hard to use in some contexts

Very nice.

That's just a matter of colour. Compared to a lot of the other entries 1.0.3
is a much simpler and more effective logo as you can easily see how it can
scale up and down and be reproduced in almost any format
It would definitely get my vote.

I have to agree. I hate to, I really like it, but it as a logo it's
not clear enough.

Not bad.
I really like the simplicity of 1.0.3's second logo, but I think
1.0.17(2) is my current favorite. I really like the subliminal "check
mark" in the envelope and there's a good use of color. It's a clean
logo that isn't too busy, cartoonish, or difficult to decipher.
I think 1.0.3 would be better if "spam" where in red with the black
cross-hairs over it.
> 1.0.29. Javi Masa (especially the second image of pierced spam in red

I think 1.0.29 is too cartoonish and would prefer something more
serious. When I have the SA logo on my ISP's "Email and Spam" webpage
I want logos that look serious and not that look 'cute' in any way. If
the logo looks cute I'm not likely to use it on a serious page.

I think it looks too much like an AOL icon. And it doesn't say, to me,
anything about the actual product. And what's the black oval in the
middle supposed to be?

also excellent looking, an early favorite of mine, but I think it's a
little too unclear which type of mail is on fire
1.0.29. Javi Masa (especially the second image of pierced spam in red
which is new) is my favorite. Fantastic work!
Basically, 1.0.29 combines the best of 1.0.24 and 1.0.9 into
something that I think really works. It also includes a ninja
element, the concept of filtering, and is cute.
1.0.25. Attis Bijlani - ClearFire Designs is also a good
"corporate-style" logo, it needs a bit more work, but the
concept is very good. It's just not enough "SpamAssassin" right
yet.

I dont really like the restrictions that the 'corporate' logo as for debian.
If you take this route, i'd suggest to have both logos free for use.
Personally, i dont care if the logo looks 'corporate' or not, i believe
the quality of the product is more important. If the logo is threatening
or cartoonish, even the better.
dual-logos may solve the problem and people can just choose whatever they want.

We've discussed this a little on IRC today. The thought came up about
having 2 logos ala Debian (http://www.debian.org/logos/). Basically have
one as the official project logo, and another, related, one for the
"corporate" use.
IMO, we want something "clean" and simple for a logo.

Maybe a couple of them could be used as is the case with some other open
source projects where there is an "official" logo that can be used
everywhere, while "cooler" versions are more suited to other uses.
Just a thought

Agreed, most of the logo's are a little too comic-ie (is that a word?) for
me. Actually my favorite is the Silver Protected logo from 1.0.24. It's
obvious that it's an envelope, tells you the product name, clean simple and
to the point. Keep the small one as is and make another one with the
graphic and the lettering a little bigger, remove the Protected by, maybe
throw in a blurb about ASF.
If you have a small button logo, I think it should say Protected by rather
than Powered by since SA is protecting you from Spam not powering your mail
system.

But it's never going to show up on a corporate site or a ISP's "What we
do about Spam" page. Sorry, it's just not. The logo need to be clean
and professional. Mostly clean. It needs to look like a logo and not
something "cool" with "ninjas".

For my 2 cents worth, my favorite is 1.0.24. Several formats to
choose from and just an overall great looking logo in my opinion :-)

Those are very colorfull, but I like the simple elegance
of 1.0.26. It won't seem dated in 2 years.
