I was just browsing a couple other nameless Apache projects and I was
reminded how branding can have such a negative impact. Then I
remembered that this design has been floating around for a bit but
never seemed to go anywhere even though it seemed to be production
ready.

Can we just commit this and work on any remaining details that someone
wants to put in effort to fix?

Bump. +1 for Paul's proposal. It's been stewing for a year now...

Do we need a vote or something for moving ahead with this?
