Daniel,
I sent you a reply to this post but have not received anything back. Can you confirm the receipt of that. I just want to be sure that we're in touch.

That's great, I'm glad people liked it. The competition was hard indeed, Michael and Walter had great entries. SpamAssassins, let me know how you guys want to proceed to refine and choose a final version.
If it's okay with you, we decided I'll act as a primary point of contact with you to keep communication simple and help the refinement process go as smoothly as possible. I'll also be copying communication to a bug we're using to track the project logo process to keep other people in the loop.
So far, 2 of 3 developers who posted comments on the arrow theme logo preferred the original "rectangular" concept (4.x and earlier) over the later "oblong" concept (5.x). (Justin and Daniel preferred 4.x and 1.x, Theo preferred 5.x.)
envelope thickness:
Justin is *very* keen on the "fat white outlines", much preferred to the 4.x "thin outline" style"
I prefer the thickness of 4.1 or 4.2. Not too thin.
colors:
Justin likes the colors in 1.1 and 1.2, especially the colors of the background and envelopes.
I wish it was easier to tell spam from good by color. I associate spam with "red", but the red in 4.1 and 4.2 is much too intense and dark, it sticks out very much. I like 4.0 the best so far and 1.0 (the first one under 1.0.37 on the original page) second best (although it doesn't have both spam and ham which is something I think we want). I don't really like the feel of 1.1 and 1.2.
arrow thickness:
The people who care seem to prefer thin so far (4.2).
text:
the medium font with no bolding (4.1)
one person did prefer the text integrated into the logo as in the 1.x logos
arrow tail:
I think the blunt shaft tail is better in 4.1 and 4.2 over the tapered one in 4.0 (how do you grab it?), but the feather looks somewhat better in 4.0 even though it's not an entirely realistic feather shape. Also, is it possible to model the feather more like the Apache one?
There has also been a request for a 4-color logo suitable for printing on a shirt, but I think that's something that can be handled later. The button-size logo for web pages is also important, so maybe at some point we should discuss which final formats are being requested.
Daniel
