Hello,

First of all, thank you for your comments.

Someone at our office described the swirly thing as "visionary". Our Graphic 
designer (the one who has designed the suggestions) likse #2 best also. Our 
communications consultant thought, like you did, that font needs some 
touchup (she liked #2 best as well).

It shouldn't be a problem if logo uses commercial font. --> Actually logo 
doesn't use the font but the vector outline created based on font. It's a 
image, which isn't used like font is. There for there is no legal problems 
related in to use of these DynAPI logos in opensource project.

I believe that the program used for these logo suggestions was Freehand. We 
may make original design files available as well... and we may reproduce 
version suitable for your needs (including WMF, AI, Freehand, PNG or any 
other). We would like to do that after we have found the direction (more 
finalized design files), but if you (or any one else) need it right now, ask 
and we will deliver.
