Ahh, I see. Thank you for the clarification. I agree with you assessment. I realize my previous email was overly inflammatory. Let me restate a couple of points. Leo does have a brand, but it is underdeveloped. Does it need developing? Absolutely. My first impression with Leo was its icon and I said to myself, "wow, a stock image!". It seems like an afterthought, which is not a good first impression. The lion has great potential for a strong logo. It would benefit the Leo community to develop it further.
As a disclaimer I would say, this is not an issue that should slow down main developers. However I would hope that the main developers see the need to improve Leo's branding, acknowledging that there are higher priority concerns.
