Christian, That is a great idea! Not just to get a nice new logo, but also (more important imho) to attract attention to the new 2.0 version. Marketing yay!
How do you want to do this? Do we pick from the submissions, or do we have a second round where people vote for their favorite? I would like the second one. Not that I don't have great taste (haha - that's my wife laughing, I was serious), but it is a chance to get even more people involved and thus attract even more attention. -Remko ________________________________ From: Ralph Goers <ralph.go...@dslextreme.com> To: Log4J Developers List <log4j-dev@logging.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2013 6:10 AM Subject: Re: Logo contest? For some reason I picture two guys with their arms outstretched standing on a spinning log in a body of water.... ;-) Hopefully, most of you will understand that. Probably not - In the northwest U.S. they have lumberjack contests where the guy who can stay on the log longest wins.
