Please give your feedback and suggestoion.
Are there any updates on the proposed new NuttX logos? We stopped
discussing this with no follow through plan.
I suppose that with no additional action, the default position is that
we do not change logos.
I think that what is missing in the current logos is a message. What is
it that we want to convey with a new logo. Without a message, it is
arbitrary artwork and there is nothing to motivate a selection. Perhaps
we need some marketing folks involved as well as graphic designers?
Forgive me if this was done and I missed it, but...
I think we should have some kind of NuttX new logo "contest" (no
actual prize for winning, except that the winner gets a warm fuzzy
feeling inside, and the project adopts their logo). The contest should
be open for some predefined length of time, allowing people enough
time to think and experiment with logo concepts. Once the deadline
arrives, we as a community would vote for the best logo out of all the
entries. If we go this route, then as a community we need to make up
an announcement, which would then be posted to all NuttX channels
(e.g., here on dev@, at the LinkedIn group, etc) to maximize the
number of participants. The point is that it should be open to
everyone to contribute a logo for consideration.

A contest is fine, maybe we could even create a pool to purchase a
prize... like a nice, high end NuttX board? I would contribute.
But if we want to make progress, we should from a committee of some kind
that will take the responsibility. Nothing ever happens if we delegate
things to that non-identified, nameless person.
