Imagine this dialog: > > A: "Hey guys, I noticed you have a new logo?" > B: "Yeah, blender rendering changed - so we dropped it." Well, the concept is to have the same logo but in new format. Of course, that would require some of professional work to ensure best-match rendering if even possible. And I don't think it's really giving up. It's just moving to the future, putting back good, ol' things in the museum. However, it'd be still best to fix it. > If we replace the Blender "g" we may also need a substitute for the > red-white Blender "gentoo" as seen at > http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/*docroot*/images/gentoo-new.gif > if just for the sake of consistency.

As I see the concept of a logo, it is bound to a pretty strict rendering. It's fun to have it in 3D but I'm not sure if, say, rotating it or changing lighting would still make it the same logo. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
