[mapserver-users] mapserver logo

[Jim T. Bowen]

We have been using the name CheetahMap for quite some time here for our
MapServer based products.  In fact, we liked it so much, we registered
cheetahmap.com!

Have a peek at http://www.gaiaenv.com/images/logos/cheetah_map2.gif for the
logo we have been using.  We are not artists...but what we have conceptually
stresses speed.

Funny, but I kinda like the idea. I agree that the globe idea is
kinda limiting since everyone else uses it. Now, who has the
artistic talent to mock up something.

I was thinking about the mapserver logo (need for one) this weekend.
What seems to set Mapserver apart from the other map servers, other
than open source, good mailing list, etc. is the speed of it.
Because the fastest animal on Earth is the cheetah, that might make
a good subject for a logo. Also, it would let us do a variety of
logos that just have the same animal on them (similar to the penguin
for Linux). Also, it would stand out from the rest of the GIS software
logos which all seem to have globes. What do you all think?
