Personally, I like the vertical logo better than the horizontal one. The icon is larger than the text and I favor that balance. Perhaps the mahout on the elephant could be waving a hat like a rodeo cowboy<grin>. That would mix metaphors a bit, but add some whimsy to the logo and make the mahout stand out more. (Someone on the Hadoop list was looking for "Hadoop wranglers" a while back, so the precedent has already been set).
Great initiative Lukas, keep it up!
