Yes, apology for that. I should have proposed it before taking any action.

I thought it is better to explain the ideas if there is something we
can try out with.
Since it is a complete new design, the best way I can think of is:

1. Propose the idea of changing the website/logo
2. The community discuss and vote for the proposal
3. Call for ideas/demos/implementations of the new website/logo
4. The community discuss and vote the for idea/demo/implementation
5. The winning one sign sufficient files to be merge into existing repos

I am wondering that whether there is some guidelines or best practices.
