Regarding the logo, here are my wild ideas when I hear the name Vala and when I let my imagination run wild:
- Vala sounds like me similar to Valhalla from Scandinavian Mythology ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla) - Valhalla was govered by various gods among them Oden (Wednesday is Oden's day) and Thor (Thursday is Thor's day). - The typical symbol of Oden was a crow. - The typical symbol of Thor was a hammer. So by a huge leap of logic I conclude that the the logo of Vala should be based on either a crow or a hammer. Since Thor's hammer is nicer, See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor , it should be used. Perhaps with an engraved V or in red green and blue like the Gtk logo.
