Hi,
Thanks for voting for my submission. That's a great result for me. But since I saw your posts about the hat and other kinds of things, I have to say something to you.
I think the main thing is that I'm actually from Switzerland and my english isn't that good and well: Derby ? What's this. So I think most people who don't speak english fluent, don't really link this word with a special thing like a hat or a horse race event or something other.
So, the goal for the logo would be, that people who look at the skin or the logo of derby, can recognize: Ah, that one I know. Ok, they don't really care about what the logo is, they only recognize: Ah, I saw this one in combination with the word Derby. Mission complete...
I agree with you. After all, what links an elephant with PostgreSql? (I've got to say that whenever I see an elephant at the zoo now I think of PostgreSql.)
btw, Roger, I really like the simple, elegant lines in the logo you produced. Thanks for contributing it.

The thing with the contest: Look, this content was launched in Spring 04, it took a couple of month to really start the contest and the full process has or would take near 1 year. So, why don't you want a decision? The corporate design of the derby project should be here. Something should be here. Why spend another half year or full year to decide for a *little* bit better solution, when there are options here. Take this time to spread the word and the logo. That's the main thing.
For me it's not important, that my submission won. My goal is to help the project itself. Maybe with ideas or prototypes or whatever. Take the things you like and make the best with it.
