I've put the proposals at http://www.owfs.org/index.php?page=logo-poll
I'll try to keep the page up to date.
One question is size. At least the initial request was for a logo to
acknowledge OWFS use on sites that use OWFS. David Lissuik also sugggests
that we'll want to use the logo on PCB silk sreens that are supported by
OWFS.

You're right. As the project has evolved, the names have not. OWSuite and
OWService are great names. However changing the name at this point would be
a problem:
1. The sourcforge site is owfs.sf.net and sourceforge "unix" name is owfs
2. The web site is owfs.org and we have owfs.net reserved for a eventual
live demo site
3. The port 4304 is reserved by the IANA for "owserver"
4. The mdns service names are _owserver and _owhttpd
5. All the archived mailing lists and "MailArchive", "Gmane", and the like
are for owfs-developers
etc...
My experience is that CHANGE names lose momentum.
We could grab owsuite and owservice and ownet, and spread out the project.
Would that help us in the future?
I know owserver sounds like a machine, rather than software, but we do call
Apache a "web server" and sendmail a "Mail server" and ....
