Hi,
It makes sense to me to have one for letterheads and official documents
and a couple funkier ones for web use.
However, the new suggested version is not suitable for official use IMO.
Shouldn't we have something that can be easily scaled without loosing
clarity. For example the lad logo scales very well even though it is a
bit abstract for some people.
I am working on something now that I'll submit later today.
Cheers.

Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street.
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before
the arrival of U.S. troops.

I agree with this, and in previous years a lot of the

Please allow me to chime in here. Linuxaudio.org is not designed to be
exclusionary, but rather focused on a particular platform. This means that
cross-platform efforts which cater to the Linux platform are also very much
endorsed by the Linuxaudio.org (we already have a number of such memberships).
It is simply that the consortium's efforts are based on our focus, which is
currently the dominant libre platform.
As far as the logo is concerned, I agree that the "cutesy" factor may be seen
as distracting/inappropriate. FWIW, this at times can be also its strength as
it allows the logo to stand out. The actual "cute" factor is also
significantly diminished when the logo is reformatted to a web-usable size
(namely made significantly smaller).
It is also conceivable that certain sites/webmasters will be more prone to
including logos with penguins than others. For this reason, perhaps we could
also talk about having 1 official logo, but 2 or more web logos which would be
a variation on the original.
Most importantly, no matter which logo we pick, we should provide svg/png's
online for those who wish to provide link on their webpages.
Best wishes,
Ico

Calling
the whole system just Linux is arguably a misuse of the
trademark.
Arguably so, and please rest assured that I have had the 'the
talk' from
RMS more than once, but in the case of linuxaudio.org the organisation
is specifically about the Linux kernel and related free software. We
don't cover audio on BSD, Darwin or any other free software platform. We
do recognise the The Linux Mark Institute and the work it has done to
defend the Linux trademark.
