Huhu,
looks great to me and it's definitely the right timing for a logo change :)
Me who came to OpenWrt for porting it to a mobile phone and continued
with pictures frames, mini-notebooks and landline phones, I never
considered OpenWrt as a plain wifi router distribution/toolchain but one
for every kind of embedded devices.
Although I know it's coming from there and the name still reflects it,
I'd appreciate more "embedded" than "wifi/antenna" in a logo, though
having no idea how to do that :)
Please don't consider that as complaint or even objection towards your
drafts.
It's just some input which might or might not be taken into account in
the end.
Thanks for your work!

Mirko-
I just wanted to say that I had the same reaction (because I think LEDE
is a good idea), and then I thought about it a while.
The truth is that just about all the embedded devices coming up are
going to have some sort of a wireless component, and in many cases the
"wirelessness" of the device or application is just as important as the
"embeddedness." The current popularity of the ESP8266 is proof of this
(although it doesn't currently run OpenWRT) - there are lots of
educational devices out there to connect sensors and measure things,
but, when they have a wireless connection on them, suddenly they are a
LOT more interesting for practical applications.
I decided that I actually liked having the symbolic reference to
radio/wireless/etc/ in the logo. I choose to view it not as a WiFi
router, but just something that's wireless.
Just my own 2 cents worth,
Bill

Hi,
First of all, I’m glad to hear the process of remerging LEDE with OpenWrt is
moving forward.
For what it’s worth, if prefer the LEDE name (it’s friendlier - ‘leddy’ - and
not tied to the name of an old router!)
However, it seems the consensus is that the OpenWrt name should remain. I
thought that maybe we should take this opportunity to at least give the project
an updated look?
Maybe a new logo? I’m personally not one for mascots, so I had a quick go at a
few simple text-based designs:

What are you thoughts?
