I agree with your choice of colors, but I'm not as certain about extending the "crossbar" of the G all the way across. Yes, it may be more mechanically stable that way, but it looks less like a G. Also, it's TurboGears and not Turbo Gears -- having a space in the logo could really throw people off. Unless someone has a specific designer (other than Jon Hicks) in mind, I think the new logo and site template will come from people on this list (or people that people on this list know). Luckily, the designs you're coming up with are much better than what we've got now. So, this is a great discussion! Kevin
