I assume that the "twice a year change" and the "funny, alliterative animal names" are references to Ubuntu Linux. Note that, while each release of Ubuntu has its own name, the Ubuntu logo has remained unchanged for years. I agree that the change to a new OSM logo should have been discussed, or at least announced, well in advance, not done as a surprise to everyone except whatever committee made the change.

I propose this: From now on, we change our logo twice a year - on 1st May and 1st November. That way, nobody can ever claim not to have been notified. (I also propose that we use funny alliterative animal names for each release.) > I wonder how many local groups have only just > committed to expenditure that is now out of date even before they > receive the product? Calm down. Our merchanidse is not "out of date" just because the logo has been touched up.
