Hi Rainer, Thanks for your comments. I like the idea of a *r*ocket, because it begins like *r*syslog does, so one can think it's RocketSyslog :p
As for the octopus, regardless of whether it's the mission or not, I don't see how it can fit with some other thing on a logo (that is by definition small). Sure, just the octopus would fit, but an octopus driving a car/rocket would probably be too much for the small scale. If I had to choose, I'd go with rocket over car over octopus. Not sure how to combine octopus with rocket, unless the rocket is in the shape of an octopus, which again would be too much. So, unless someone has a better idea, or the mission discussion reveals something new, I'd with something like this: _ / \ | |rsyslog /|\ What do you think? Don't criticize my ASCII art, though we could also have an ASCII art logo :D 2014/1/22 Rainer Gerhards <[email protected]> > On Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 8:25 AM, Radu Gheorghe <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Attached you can find a draft of a new logo from my buddy. > > > :-) > > > > Don't worry > > about the small size or the background: he'll give me plenty of options > and > > higher resolution when we decide what we want. > > > > He said he's a stranger to this space so he just did something :) I > assume > > he didn't know "syslog" was a word and so he broke it, but I like exactly > > that.
