I think it isn't supposed to be. Even having a tagline is on the verge of being obnoxious and for any kind of professional work a small textual note is the maximum one should do. > >> I agree that if we want to have a logo available on the colophon, we >> should create a real logo.

A small designated team (maybe some > professionals in the lilypond community) or everyone interested? I think we should really designate a small team or maybe even one single person to design the logo. It's no good to have large e-mail threads with everyone chiming in on their personal opinion. And it should be someone with experience in the topic, a professional if we can have one. > 6. If the latter, how to choose from different proposed logos? One might conduct a poll on the user list to select from 3 or 4 proposals made by that small team, that's the most democracy I'd think useful here. Best, Simon
