How about trying to come up with an image that actually reflects what the
project is about, instead of drawing on an irrelevant mening of "leaf" for
inspiration? The LRP logo is cute, for example, but by associating with an
irrelevant meaning of "router", I think it confuses people more than it
conveys meaning.
The "leaf" metaphor in context means something out at the edge, at the
periphery. And unpacked, the acronym LEAF describes guarding and protecting.
Why not something on the order of Tux in a fire helmet (at least in the US,
this helmet says "firefighter" very clearly), with a depiction of a small
network on one side, a big one on the other (nothing complicated for that
part, just a very stylized layout of lines)?
Or the same stylized network, but with Tux in the middle, surfaced as a
brick wall?
Alas, I'm not an artist either ....
