Well to move forward, I'll put it this way. I'm interested in funding Chris H to do work on the OCW website, and I'm interested in the feather. But I'm not a BDFL around here (just for the funding :)). That said, I'm happy to have a community VOTE where you have one VOTE, and I have one VOTE, and so does the rest of the community on their favorite logos and we'll go with that. Or you can decide that the rest of the work embodies enough that you are willing to bend (but not break) on a few issues like having a feather in our logo which IMO as a long standing Apache member is something I'm a fan of in the projects that I contribute to. Yes, I know not all Apache projects have this. Pick any 5 Apache projects and you will find differences in a number of areas. We have a loose set of principles that bind us together and logos aren't necessarily one of them (though our branding policy is and it doesn't mandate anything other than the ™ on the logo or on the first appearance of Apache™ Foo on the page).
TL;DR we can VOTE, but you can already tell where my VOTE will come in the logo.
