[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] [Qgis-psc] Logo

[Barry Rowlingson]

One thing about this logo is to make sure it doesn't look anything
like any other existing mappy s/w logos or any other product with
"Quantum" in the name. Doing a google image search for "Quantum logo"
will show you about 200 different corporate logos with 'Quantum' in
the name!
