Hello again everyone.
Sorry for my absence from the list, I have been out of the country for a while and was too busy to keep up with the list(s). I'm back now and am slowly ploughing through the one and half thousand emails that awaited my return (and I am beginning to really hate SPAM).
Anyway, back to the logo. I realise that for many of you that are many unresolved issues and maybe a little confusion over the new mod_perl logo and I am almost entirely to blame. We've seen an animated version of our new logo and my crusade to introduce the underscore into Michael Demers design. Furthermore, painfull as it is to admit it, I lost the plot completely with regard to the button and suggested that a new button be designed based on the winning logo, apparently to te exclusion of the elected buttons...
Through all of this, I had forgotten that our new logo and buttons had been chosen through a democratic vote, and I realise that it is not my place to disregard that vote by modifying the winning logo and soliciting the development of a new button. For all of this, I sincerely apologise.
Therefore, logo status now is that we have a new logo (which is static and which doesn't have an underscore) and we have two buttons. All of which can be seen at: http://beverley2.digital-word.com/mod_perl/winner/.
I think it makes sense to have, as an option, an additional button - which would be based on the new logo. But the elected buttons remain (especially as many websites are already using Juergen Spechts design).
I hope all this makes sense. And, again, I apologise for my poor handling of this affair.
Thanks Jonathan for the followup
I think it's OK to have a few buttons to choose from, for other sites
to link back to perl.apache.org. So we just need to create a new button
based on the winner design and then we have 3 buttons to choose from.
Regarding the logo issue, I think that the conclusion was that we must have the underscore in the logo. Otherwise we have a problem of
modperl != mod_perl
The vote was for the logo design, not the wording/spel?ing. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that we break the rules if we 'fix' the name in the winner logo to match the product name, disregarding your likes or dislikes of this name.
Anybody is willing to take the task of adding the '_' if Michael Demers is not around? Then the logo can be made by simply "shrinking" the logo.
Also I wasn't able to try Matt's SVG animated logo, I couldn't find any utils on linux to do that. The old Adobe plugin crashes mozilla when I try it, the new one is not available for linux (yet).
