I want to ask you guys to hold up for just a day or two, ill put up a website with all the logo's discussed in the mailinglist + some extra's. That way everybody can give their preference and Herbert can make a final descision.
I do disagree with Matt though, i think logo design is imperitize for the growth of VServer as a trademark. VServer is growing at a very fast rate, we want VServer to be recognized instantly and be though well of. Maybe not for the community, but for every discision maker and system admin image counts. Anyway, 2 more days. Ill make sure we have a summary of all the images involved. Both .png and vector.

guess I will do that, as it seems that nobody
organized a 'public' contest and/or voting for
this purpose ... but I guess the 'community' is
already converging towards something ....
for me it looks like the green checkmark V plus
some text (the actual name) seems acceptable to
the volks involved so far ...
as a vector graphics version is very desireable
we should try to get that done with a few small
adjustments, and verify the license of the result,
so that we can freely use it for our purpose ...
maybe we should try to register it or something
like that? anybody who knows about the legal
details here (and maybe about the costs?)
I'm confident,
Herbert
