Re: Apache Flex logo colors - Flex Tour

[Keith Sutton <ke...@spoon.as>]

This is a very good point especially when you consider that there will 
be a Flex Tour happening through Feb-Apr in which we hope to reach not 
only the Flex developer community (100k-600k depending on who you talk 
to) which includes A LOT of end-customer organizations. The 
image/message that is delivered in the next few months could go a long 
way to setting the stage for Flex going forward.
