Hmm... The logo, the graphical identity and the program name are all *very* important factors when it comes to establishing a software in the minds and lives of the users...
I'm totally convinced that I would have discovered the beauty of Lilypond years ago if 1. The program name was something that I would associate with professional music/notation 2. The site was professional and modern, (reflecting the artistic level and intensions of the program and its developers) 3. There was a graphically appealing logo, again with associations to professional music/notation For years, I've seen links to Lilypond examples, always thinking this was some kind of non-professional semi-toy thing... To me, the nice little happy note does *not* give an association to the professional level that Lilypond represents! (Maybe ideal for a program for children!) This also connects to the discussion of heightening the professional level of the documentation - I would really hate to see the nice happy little note on the first documentation page... Two examples of projects with nice graphical concepts (in my opinion!): http://codeigniter.com/ http://www.javeline.nl/ <- take a look at the correspondance between site and documentation! Well, that's my opinion... Hope I don't offend someone! It's really cute, the nice little happy note! :-) Best regards! Jonas 2007/9/13, Juergen Reuter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > OK.
