[Qgis-developer] Final Logo Pick

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

I have to say when I compare them to our existing logo, none of them
really do it for me. Perhaps we need a new mandate to freshen our
exisiting logo rather than to try to create something new. Our current
logo may have issues but it is:

* distinctive
* bright
* clear
* recognisable
* already has a strong association with our 'brand'

If the new logo does not meet these or in some way offer an
improvement over the old, we should rather focus on tweaking what we
already have.

Regards

Tim
