The logos look very slick.
Like others, I find #1 more appealing. The concern I have with the current color scheme is that it looks very similar to the Google <http://www.google.com/help/hc/images/picasa_forum_logo1.jpg> Picasa aperture logo. If Google decided to give its logo perspective they could be hard to distinguish. Maybe this could be fixed by changing the color scheme to differ more from that one used by Google and Microsoft Windows? http://www.google.com/help/hc/images/picasa_forum_logo1.jpg In terms of metaphor, I like the coil a lot, since it reminds me of the RSS radio signal icon, which is conceptually similar to what we're doing with OSLC. The reason I didn't vote for that logo as much is the way the signals come out of the "O", unlike the layout with the aperture logo. Maybe combining the two layouts would be worth considering, although the lines still look a bit faint: Either way, it's great that we're going to have a slick logo, nice work Kimberley and Susan. Could we also make sure that the logo looks reasonable at 16x16? It's likely to show it somewhere within the Eclipse/Mylyn UI at some point, and it will also make a nice favicon for the site.
