Hello,
thanks Paul for the nice job! The colorful hexa-shaped logo seems much prettier.
One point/suggestion - if the letters "TEX" shared the same background - be it e.g. light gray - it might be
cleaner how to read ("discover") the word "ConTeXt"; it would also keep the hexagonal shape,
associating chemistry; and it would also indicate or highlight relation to "TeX".
But keep my notion or feeling just personal; the new logo is "nice enough" as
published on wiki.
Best regards,
Lukas

Hello,
thanks for your feedback. Again, I don't want to impose or dismiss anything. I
wanted to share this because I believed somebody else in the ConTeXt community
could be interested.
@Taco: Actually, I stumbled upon the nice ConTeXt group logo recently and was wondering who made
it. To answer your questions: I tried to avoid any logic or rainbow-type color sequence to create
something more unique. The first square had to be in blue and the middle area in a warm color. (I
played around a lot with the color combinations.) Regarding the outside circle: I tried different
variations, with and without a surrounding circle or round background, with and without rounded
squares, and was most pleased with this solution. It's true, "clean and simple" can
easily lead to "too informal".
@Clyde J: Valid point. I use the logotype with the subscript 'E' whenever I can
in inline text.
@Floris vM: Font, spacing, overall appealingness. No Helvetica/Nimbus Sans,
which has less meaning to me for ConTeXt than a DIN-ish/technical one. Colors
are fun. If you don't see it this way, it's perfectly fine.
@Alan B: I've uploaded MetaPost files of the main version.
Yes, the horizontal version is not very exciting nor very TeX-aware. I made
this one primarily because I wanted something small for a little GUI script.
Now I think it's just superfluous.
Greetings!
Paul
