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.
It's not about not thinking broad enough -- they voted for the best design, which was a good point for itself. For those 2 in the banner, that's true, it would be a plus.
IMHO, that was an omission in the rules of the contest. I believe the Apache and/or Perl mascot should have been a requirement. I'd rather see a camel head instead of cogs. I've no clue what 'cogs' have to do with mod_perl and what does it help to mod_perl to attract more people.
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.
Logged in TODO. Should we organize a contest? It would need pretty strict rules though, to get something that represents mod_perl in a good way and re-uses the current logo. I think it might be hard compared to having a designer do the job though.
Well, you can try of course. My attempts weren't successful so far.
if you do, we need to discuss the requirements first. See my post about a month ago to the modperl list which has already specified many of them.
