Well then, I really am sorry.

As for the aformantioned logos, I would have to agree with Leif.
I don't particularly like any of them..

I could be just the quality of the images in your PDF..
but they don't look as 'crisp' as I am accustomed to in a "commercial" logo.
They seem somewhat pixelated.

I'm not going to argue colors.. but I will argue that the logo should have a
crisp
look to it.. smooth edges and a definate lack of pixelated edges..

Of all the ones you posted, I like the first one most (or dislike it the
least? <grin> )

What is the font called? Maybe we can find a free equivlent. Or even make
one. We could then create an anti-aliased version of the logo.

To the rest of the team: does anyone have ANY of the old logos?
I will try to find some of them myself.. but if anyone's hardrive has not
blown up ten times in the last two years, maybe one of you would still have
the old logos (and there where a lot of them) in an archive somewhere.
