Hello all, What are the goals for the logo redesign? What are the specific enhancements required for 3.4 release? Is this just a web logo update or broader?
Perhaps we should consider organizing ourselves around a more structured redesign/rebrand in support of 4.0. It would be a great time to refresh the branding. However, their are many dependencies, so we would need a full inventory of in app graphics so we could scope the effort.
