Over a year ago, SourceForge had a designer work on some ideas for an Allura
logo, although we never followed through to share it with the community and have
this discussion. Here are links to the two results of that. Favicon size and
original .ai and .psd files are available too.

This logo always reminded me of ... something. I forget what. It has
very strong echoes of another existing logo.
They are fairly abstract. I think the one without the lightning bolt is nice,
but I'm not particularly attached to it.
Regarding anvils, I am not real excited about that concept. "Forge" seems like
a bit of a dated term, not just for physical forges but software forges too. I
normally describe Allura as project hosting, not a forge.
I like the term "community hosting", or possibly "software community
hosting", for whatever that's worth.
I like the ideas & designs Nick proposed. The connectedness of molecules is a
nice idea. I don't know about having the letter 'a' in the logo though.
Yeah, I like the concept. Of course, my opinion on specific design
matters should always be taken with a grain of salt.
