What about the other 3/4 that will be confronted with another logo and might not be able to link it against the GNOME brand they know? If it's really 1/4 it's bad, but if it's "only" 1/30 I'd call it multicultural reality on this world. Come up with anything that you consider "non offending" and I will probably find some culture where it IS offending. ;-) GNOME 3? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_(number)#As_a_lucky_or_unlucky_number Probably not enough reason to avoid 3... but GNOME 4? Considered an unlucky number in CKJ, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_(number)#In_other_fields . Enough reason to avoid 4? *shrug* andre -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
