Hi William, Thanks a lot for your input. In fact is has come to our (TDF staff team) attention as well that our logo is not well used and not easy to apply. The plan is to put the topic into a bigger picture and consider a full redesign/rebranding for 7.0. You are very welcome to join the discussion, I will start soon with some basics.
