I agree with the mixed feelings about the "tout court" logo changing (which, if it happens, should anyway be sanctioned by GR, as the last one was decided that way, as correctly recalled by someone) but the simplified swirl can definitely be used in a lot of situations, and the proposed website looks very nice! As for the images I don't share the concerns some have expressed, and think they're just a marketing campain. Some are probably better and to the point, and some might be less, but I don't think we should be "offended" by them. Just as an example I'll include a link to a picture for a commercial for the HTC magic (which I randomly happen to have on my laptop because, working for Google, I found it funny and took a picture of it): http://people.debian.org/~ultrotter/misc/q1050732.jpg I don't think people will be offended by looking at it, as they won't be offended by looking at pixelgirl's images. If it conveys or not its message I'm not 100% sure, but it's not for me to say (I'm not an expert in the field). In pixelgirl's case for example I think the "reliable parner" image is a nice pun, and goes to the point, while the "software with passion" one is less, and wouldn't put bugs in advertisement, but then someone else might think differently, and I don't think we should be in the business of censoring ideas/art! :) Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
