[Qgis-developer] Re: [Qgis-community-team] New QGIS logo

[Andreas Neumann]

 I would assume the Q and the arrow represents a compass. The Q is the 
 compass rose and the arrow is the needle.

 Personally, I don't think that the current logo/icon is that bad, but I 
 am open to other proposals. I also don't think that the current logo is 
 too complex. Look at Apples logo (i.e. of Safari) - this is pretty 
 complex logo as well (I would say it is more complex than the QGIS logo) 
 and people seem to like it.

 I also think that there could be different versions (e.g. with or 
 without shadow or even with a different color). One could distinquish 
 certain sub-projects (such as QGIS Server, QGIS Android, QGIS webclient) 
 with a slightly modified QGIS logo.
