Re: Pirate Monkey?

[Arjan Eriks]

Guys, I just joined the marketing list as co-organizer of the CCCEU13. And i was involved in the logo design for the event as well (hence i recognize the monkey on the pirate shirt). I like the pirate design very much. It gives some feeling about rebellion, being brave, different, funny, adventurous and such. A lot of values you would like to have as an open source community. We are not like the rest, we are making our own choices. But for positioning CLoudStack as a top of the bill cloud product, that plays a role next to OpenStack, AWS, Azure, IBM etc. etc.. I do not like the monkey logo that much. It just feels too much like a comic book. A lot of open source products are not chosen on a C level, but CloudStack is. Imho it should look robust, mature, proven, open, global... and maybe even 'enterprise' sometimes. Really would like to hear your ideas on this.
