I I am also interested in the part mentioned by Greg. - What about square/circle logos? - Is the owl dropped? Did we consider it? I do not think those points were addressed. Not a contributor, just want to make sure this is not lost and we end up with a couple different logos. Just for context, the mascot (owl) just turned 11 a few months ago, if I read this [1] correctly: > There was a contest to create a new Maven logo and create a mascot: the > winning logo is and the winning mascot (officially christened) The Maven Owl". There was also a related question on the vote thread [2] > Maven...originates from the Hebrew mebhin (meaning "one who understands" or > "discerning person") > How about Owl as logo?
