Just to clarify: "selected" means that the task was put out there, you claimed it and i said "cool". :) Also, Texen's logo only needs to say "Texen". Though, *if* it looks nice and/or *if* you want to or think it would look good, it could also include the word "Velocity", but as a separate word and ideally less prominent. I believe i already mentioned this in the comments of the task, but thought i should remind you since you seem to be calling it "VelocityTexen". :) Please be sure to review the task details and comments: http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-asf/issues/detail?id=30 > Since we're about 50/50 on the logo choosing proposition, we could (and this > is my opinion only) use one logo for VelocityTexen and one logo for > VelocityTools.

(Both have the initials of VT.) Efficiency (the encouraged form of laziness) is great (an excellent quality for anyone working in software!), but my preference in this situation would be to have something different. None of the other Velocity subprojects have look-alike logos, and i think that works well. For reference, here's what we have for our projects so far: Anakia: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ANAKIA-5 Docbook Framework: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBF-8 Engine: http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/images/velocity-logo.png VelocityTools: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-92 Since Texen is not any closer related to VelocityTools than any of the others, i think it might cause confusion if their logos are much more similar to each other than to the rest. > However, if the people here at Velocity think that I should develop a new > logo, by all means, I will try. it is ultimately your call what you want to contribute though. :) > Regards, > > Edward > > > > On Dec 18, 2007 3:12 PM, Nathan Bubna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Will do!
