Dennis--your powers of observation are incredible! I did NOT see this!
It seems to me that the incorporation of the feather can be a little
strained. The cases where it is in shadow, on the other hand, are
easy to overlook.
The orb with stylized gulls is very convenient at a lot of sizes and
formats, including as a download button, an icon on directory entries
on downloaded exe and oxt files, etc. If the feather is to be a
feature of that, it will be tricky.
It would be useful to see some examples, as Kay suggests.

PS: I also wonder whether generic icons should be part of the source
release and distinct icons be used in the Apache-provided "authentic"
builds. In that case, it would be great if the generic icons did not
have the feather in any way. That's a half-baked notion, and it
simply might not be acceptable. It is something I wonder about --
differentiating builds produced by the project from ones produced in
some other manner and the source only having the generic icons.

We all love the orb with gulls, but maybe it's time for a slight
update to our logo? Or the header line on our websites (project and
user portal).
I took a look around at some of the Apache projects and the use of
project logos and web site headers seems to fall into a few
different categories.
Sites using Apache feather but not in product logo --
http://camel.apache.org/ http://forrest.apache.org/
http://cocoon.apache.org/
Sites incorporating feather logo into an existing logo --
http://mina.apache.org/ http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/ http://activemq.apache.org/
http://ofbiz.apache.org/ (???)
Sites not making overt use of any Apache logo (feather) --
http://click.apache.org/
So, any preferences? Ideas?
There already exists a AOOLogo proposal page,
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOOLogo+proposal
so we could just add items to this, or change some that are here, or
add a child page, etc.
