Btw, logos are graphical marks and is not mandatory that they are logotypes (wordmarks). This means you don't necessarily need to read the name of the product from the start (look at apple, volkswagen, audi, sun, etc). After you know it's XWiki, you can easily see what proposal 16 states.
The logo should be the identity and feeling of that product. Having a smart logo would be nice for us, don't you think?
