ok, that's clear enough. I guess i get carried away a little by projects like firefox, jedit and sodipodi (the program i used to create the images). Personally i like good artwork and it allso inspires confidece in the product. Most people don't take long to form a first impression of something, and the way things look often have a lot to do with it. > The MMBase logo is already the same since this project became open > source (april 2000), and the logo has been used in books, > presentations, > thesis, documentation, mugs, and is familiar by many people, more and > more.
