I've been watching all the discussions about this, and increasingly think we're not looking for a logo; we appear to be looking for a symbol. One of the criteria was that it shouldn't be based on the word `debian'. I've never really seen a good argument for this; many (if not most) commercial logos are based on the word (Sony, GMC, Canon, IBM, Kellogs, KLM, Nokia, (dare I say it) Microsoft, ...). A symbol, however, is a different kettle of fish. > My question: > > Why are we discussing this on debian-devel-ANNOUNCE? Because debian-devel-announce doesn't set an automatic reply-to: debian-devel in the style of comp.os.linux.announce setting the followups to col.misc and no one notices / can be bothered to change that.
