I've thought about a new logo for commons for a while now. If only I could manage to invest some time to push the new commons site skin based on fluido forward. Would be nice to have a fresh new website and a new logo. Maybe we could host a contest, like they did for log4j [1]. I'm really bad when it comes to photoshop and the like, but I'd like to have a logo where the letters of "commons" look like little puzzle pieces.
