Well I far as I can see there weren't any logos
displayed on the dynapi website or used in the distros
(I stand corrected). Juhu's company is developing a
WYSIWYG editor that uses DynAPI for client-side object
creation. They've invested some time into research,
designs, etc. On such basis I said why not get some
new logo ideas? So I asked him to scheduled some of
hos graphic designers, programmers to aid with the
development of the API, etc. I don't see anything
wrong with new ideas? And it would be even better if a
lot more companies would see the benefits of the API.

A proposal for new logos designs does not violate the
principles of open-source software. I personally asked
him to design the logos and then post them to the
group to get their feedback on the new ideas.

Not so at all. Sometime ago Jordi posted a link of
what was considered a new design for the DynAPI web
site. Up to this day I've not heard anything more
about it. Many of the past developers are either just
watching the list or just don't care anymore! There is
only a few of us left, so I think it it would be cool
if we can get some _new_ ideas, _new_ designs and even
a _new_ website. 
IMO there's nothing wrong with a proposal. What if
someone should approach you and said I think your
house would look better if it was colored in blue and
white? But before they can even approach you they
would first have to design you a model of the house
painted in blue and white.
