Hello, WK>A single button that matches the logo will be simplier, and more WK>distinct. Too many choices is making it harder for the newcomers.
I agree here. But then, TMTOWTDI is a big part of Perl culture. I suggest a democratic solution: present the logo and the favorite logo-based button as "the" logo and button. Then, also present a page which has some alternate buttons on it, including the two winners of the present contest. Make the page with the official logo and button easy to find so users will see it first. Since there was a landslide winner I would say there is probably no need for alternate logos although it may be interesting for historical reasons (the Google logo archives do it the right way, in my opinion: http://www.google.com/stickers.html). DR>I really like the new logo, and in fact I voted for it. However, I just DR>realized that the logo uses "modperl", whereas mod_perl's name is DR>"mod_perl", with the underscore. Does anyone else see this as a problem? BM>It's a graphic design so I don't see that it needs to follow the Apache BM>module naming convention exactly... It's a design -- it doesn't have to BM>be accurate to the name. I agree with both these statements. I think the issue isn't that the design must follow the name, but that users often get confused between the two, and if the design doesn't follow the name, that confusion will certainly be exacerbated. Of course, this is probably not a big problem as long as the conventional term is used in the documentation and website and as long as "modperl" on Google leads to the mod_perl site. I might also point out that any mod_perl hostnames come out as modperl (since underscores are not allowed in hostnames) and that modperl is often used as a directory name even though underscores ARE allowed in filenames.
