I appreciate constructive criticism, but don't plan to spend too much time on these banners either. However, I totally agree with that comment. I think we can have several banners though.

Maybe one like this:
- Tired of waiting ...?
- Love Perl and Apache?
- What you need is...
- [modperl]
- Use it *now*!

None of these tells you what it is! So it's not different from Speed, Power, Whatever. Which may be intriguing, but unfortunately we aren't in 1997, where I was creating banners saying just "Click Me!".


We need to have a message, which makes it clear that this:

first a webserver
second running on Apache and Perl
third, else

Now you can clearly see the problem with the new logo: it gives no clue what it is. I'd think that people didn't think too broad when they've voted for it. So I suggest to cure that bug with putting the Apache feather and Camel inside the banner. Having these two solves most of the problem.

About graphics: I thought maybe it would be cool to have a bullet going through the logo and the caption "Faster than a speeding bullet", but that's way out of my scale. I don't know any good graphic designers either.

Anyway, that's a good idea, probably need to log it in TODO while we don't have any other better place.
