Hi, http://picasaweb.google.com/lukas.vlcek/Mahout/photo#5178454146860270354 is a Mahout logo proposal which I consider near-final version (#2.5) I would like to hear your comments. I think was able to accomodate most of your comments - the figure of Mahout is bigger and is not that abstract and I put the beach balloon back. Also I was experimenting with mexican hat as well but I didn't like the result so it didn't make it into final proposal.
As for the MAHOUT type it is regular font called Impact (only in 80% of its original height). This can be changed but I think that this kind of font fits the logo very well. I think the font in previous version (proposal #2) was Arial Black which look good as well. I already do have everything in vectors (svg).
