I definitely agree with this. I'd like to see some more colour
variations (maybe just background colours even) to allow it to fit into
a site's design better.
Jonathan asked whether we should have just one button, or several. I'd
say just one theme, with several variations as mentioned above.
Others have suggested several buttons and I'm assuming they mean with
differing themes. I'm against that, as the point of a logo is to
reinforce the branding of mod_perl. Of course, if people don't want to
use this theme, they won't. That's fine. That's no worse than the
current situation.
Finally, I think the mod_perl/modperl/ModPerl/Mod_perl thing is a
non-issue. We all know what is being talked about, right? It's nowhere
near as bad as the .gif "hard 'G' or soft 'G'" or the vi "V.I. versus
'vie'" problems.
