Having chipped in early on in this debate I have avoided becoming embroiled since I think it has all been too detailed and in the wrong direction, and I have little time just now for any email. A few points: – Branding is important. – I heard Walter's comment early on, that he has repeated a number of times: he likes the current logo and doesn't want to change it. – Constructive effort needs to go into a D brand to set it up to compete for hearts and minds of programmers and their managers against C++, Go, Rust, etc. – Discussing a new logo is not constructive at this time, since it is not part of a whole brand discussion. – A new website is being proposed, it is an opportunity to create a brand, based on the current logo. I have to get back to Python stuff now. Also I am not a brand designer, just a somewhat experienced brand evaluator. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
