Re: [TCLCORE] New Logo ?

[Christian G. <aur...@gm...>]

Dear folks,

while I'm not opposing to create a more modern logo, I would really
advise to hire a proper graphics designer to do that. The logos that
have been shown so far are clearly recognisable as something not done by
a professional. The logo shown by Brian below is much better but still
not today's fashion. Just for fun I prompted SD3 for a modern logo
including a feather; this is the result:

I'm sure a real designer can do much better!
