MapServer logo (was: Call for volunteers!)

[Stephen Lime]

I liked it but saw the ESRI similarity. The my continent vs yours issue doesn't bother me. Heck, go with Pangia if that makes everyone happy. I'd have gone with Minnesota myself. ;-) Thank Fred for his efforts, it's real close.

Besides the ESRI comment I was worried a bit about display at small sizes. It'd be nice to embed it in maps. Might need a mapserver ttf.

If we could have a logo with other continents also  not only with America
... I can understand you but somehow it is not global ... There are
MapServer users in Europe, Australia, Asia, probably Africa, etc... and
it's too ESRI like design also...
