[gdal-dev] Refreshing GDAL's logo

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

So looking at https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/2117, it seems we didn't 
get more proposals than the ones from 2 weeks ago. There are 3 proposals in 
the initial post of the ticket: nirvn_v1, nirvn_v2 and nirvn_v3
In https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/2117#issuecomment-570059241 , there's 
also a variant of nirvn_v3 with the compas/satellite replacing the A.

Thoughts ? (PSC and community)

> - Each proposition must be clearly associated with a "${person_name}_$
> {unique_id}" identifier so we can unambiguously reference propositions.
> - A same person can issue any number of propositions.
> - Community members are invited to express their preferences in the ticket.
> - PSC will have final word on adopting a proposition or keeping the current
> logo if no clear concensus emerges. I hope other PSC members have better
> visual judgment than me to evaluate propositions ;-)
> - The selected proposition will have to be ultimately released as SVG
> readable by FOSS tools. With a color & back-white version
> - The selected proposition will have to be ultimately licensed under CC0 /
> Public domain for the sake of simplicity of use. For due credit, the author
> will be more than welcome to indicate its authorship, typically in rdf
> metadata, as was done for the PROJ logo (*)
> - Perhaps I've forgotten rules that will be added later. Hence the informal
