Actually, Medieval tapestry was the first thing that came to mind
when I saw the new logo. I do agree, however, that it's a little odd
-- something about the proportioning, the position of the horn, or
the pose of the unicorn...? It almost seems to be tipping backwards,
out of balance or bent awkwardly.
I do, however, prefer something evoking the "heraldic imagery" to the
bland old T, which was fine but boring. The concept seems good to me.
Then again, is that why Tapestry is named Tapestry?
I think the idea is that it weaves together all these components to
make a page.
Cheers, P

Tapestry? I've never heard the etymology of the name. If that's
why it's
named Tapestry, then the logo is cool with me. But, I would recommend
having some documentation on the site about its name, maybe.

Google is your friend:

I suppose it's meant to invoke heraldic imagery, but people
probably aren't exposed to many such images these days. ;-)
Actually, the unicorn would look much better on a rectangular
background like the stamp in the first google hit. Just IMHO.
Cheers,
Nick.
