My feeling is that we put out this survey to actually find out what the
responders liked. It is certainly true that many of us really LIKE the
existing logo. But I think that we should respect the outcome of the
survey.
There seemed to be a consensus both for the flat logo and the thinner
letters.
I think doing the survey and honoring the results is a good way to keep
Apache OpenOffice relevant.
