Best regards

Hello team!
To go along with our launch of SMX5, I've been working hard on (1)
rebranding our image and (2) revamping our website. We have an
extremely powerful product, but in my daily work with customers I
notice we get undervalued due to our old-fashioned and outdated website.
With regards to (1), I felt that the emblem in SMX logo was already a
masterpiece, so I didn't touch it (asked Lukasz Dywicki for the vector
graphics). However, the type/font could do with a more modern look.
Gert also suggested to somehow include the Apache feather in the logo.
So after several iterations I combined both ideas and overlaid it on
grey background -- which I think could be part of our color palette
for the new website (white background variations also planned). Please
find attached the result and let me know what you think ;-) The
attributes I was going for are: elegant, modern, sleek.
Concerning (2), I suggest that we go in the direction of the Apache
Mesos [1] site and embrace Middleman [2] as a static site generator,
incl. Twitter Bootstrap, Sass, and all those fancy frontend frameworks
of the current age ;-) I've been experimenting with the toolset and
it's powerful, yet simple enough to author content with our beloved
Markdown syntax!
I'm working on a prototype of the website, which I will push to GitHub
and post here for us to collaborate on.
For now, I'll be happy to get some feedback about the logo.
