How about a new XEmacs logo?

This is, of course, not a very important issue, or something that (technical) people really care about, but for now I can only help the XEmacs development in this area. I wanted to propose my idea of a new XEmacs logo. Currently I have nothing specific in mind on how that new logo should look like -- I just dislike the old one. The biggest problem with the existing logo is it's transparency. Many people have background color other than default gray and that is one of the reasons why those dislike the logo. I am one of them - I use DarkSlateGray background. You can see how ugly it turns out by visiting XEmacs Beta section of xemacs.org. Also I personally dislike the italic font. In my opinion italic font can only spoil a title or a logo. The very sharp and dark shadow doesn't fit at all. It is too unrealistic to add something to the logo. You might of course disagree with me here, but I don't think people say "wow" about the existing logo. Neither does it reflect the functionality of XEmacs... or it's beauty :-) How old is the existing logo? So, I would like to suggest to make some alternative logos and choose the best one for the upcoming versions. Maybe we should make it a contest, I don't know. Debian people solved their "problem" that way... I took the initiative myself and created one. It can be found at http://dreamer.nitro.dk/linux/xemacs/screenshot.png. It should be considered merely as a suggestion and not necessary something I really want to see in the next versions of XEmacs. I encourage other people to make logos that are better than the existing one, and mine as well. Not to repeat myself too much here is a part of a reply to my logo suggestion from comp.emacs.xemacs: And here is (was) my answer: So, what do you think of the whole idea? -- Sergej Malinovski [http://dreamer.nitro.dk]
