Man, you guys are all over the map. 

Perl already has a fine logo so why are we bothering with this? Logos and
branding and marketing take money and talented professionals who make it
their job to promote things. 

The logo is irrelevant at this time for Perl when noone seems to know what
we would actually do with it once we had it.

All these years CPAN has survived without a logo and since I had a
professional graphic artist working on another project I asked him to have
a go at a CPAN logo. I'm not sure yet where they may be used, but I'm
rather fond of the "CPAN airways" one :)
