Ok... :) you have a good point.

Not bad. I wonder if the ASF has any money. At the minimum
contributors should get shirts! :)

I guess I could use EPS files... though it would take me ever to figure
out how to get them to .gif. Honestly I think if we can get 2 or 3
"official" logos we would be sweet for a long time!
The EPS would be good so that if we ever have to recreate the gifs we
will be ok.
So maybe 3 logos
- 1 large: For http://java.apache.org/jetspeed to go at the top of the
page.
- 2 medium: To go in the distribution at the top of a running version of
Jetspeed (I think this is where the URL would be nice..
- 3 small: This would be a nice "powered" logo.
Thanks for you work on this. Any logo I would have done would have been
embarrassing ...
