Logo

I wouldn't call it dictatorship. At some point there has to
be made the 
decision to stop change the logo. It is not good to change
your logo 
continously, because a logo is a brand. People recognize a
logo and it 
is important to position yourself in the market. So I can
understand 
this decision. Eventhough this is an open source
application, it still 
needs a recognizable brand and to become popular. And after
all that is 
what we all want... Popular open source applications for
everyone, used 
by everyone. Maybe Lluis should have told it differently,
but that is 
merely a choice of words. It is all marketing. Something
most of us 
don't deal with, but is still a part of the acceptance of an

application.

Regards,
Arjan.

The problem Arjan is that logo that we are talking about has
not been even
been used at all, not on the website and not on the new
release 0.12.
Correct me if I am wrong but MonoDevelop has never had an
official logo,
hence it state on the website and I quote:

"We need a logo! It would be awesome if somebody could
design a decent logo
and splash window for MD." 

Here is a link to the page that I am referring to.

I truly understand branding and marketing, hence way I
realize how important
it is that a product looks good!!!
