Added a Comment to Regarding Stage 3 Logo Refinement: in Original logo (Chris's version) the TM seems a bit too big and too dark? Regarding Kevin's tuned version - iteration 4: I agree with all steps beside the i dot size and new position. Are there opinions one the two versions and could be placing the dot in the original size between the two versions a solution? And like said before making TM a bit smaller and with lighter gray like for "Apache" would be better IMHO.
