In this week's GeoServer meeting on IRC (logs at
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/2008/09/16/IRC+Logs%2C+September+16%2C+2008)
we discussed the concerns about the logo that have been brought up here,
namely:
1) The color of the text 'GeoServer' in the powered-by logo does not
contrast with the background strongly enough to attract the eye, and
2) The eastern hemisphere is excluded from the logo.
In the meeting we decided that (1) is not really problematic (ie, those
at the meeting all agreed that there is sufficient contrast), but (2) is
a valid concern. We plan to have our designer look into producing a
variation on the icon with either ambiguous continents (we'll call this
approach 'No Favorites') or one that includes all the continents
('Pangaea'), sticking with whichever looks best in the end. In order to
provide concerned parties some time to give feedback we'll wait a couple
of days before going forward with the redesign though.
