Jon, we don't *really* *must* to have a *new* logo. We should have *a* logo. The boxed image isn't really a logo and we can keep it, it doesn't mean we have to replace it. Take a peek at servicemix for instance. It would be great to have something simple as a logo, as somebody already mentioned in this thread. Servicemix, Karaf and Aries did a great job, as well as many other Apache projects. The thing is camel does *not* have a logo.
