The logo contest is not a bad ideia, after setting the guidelines of what it should convey. The old tap logo is really in need of it's due rest. The new, well I wasn't quick to get to what it meant. Although that's not that uncomom. A few examples we all know: - mySQL (someone has allready mentioned before) - PostGreSQL (an elephant?!?!?) ...and I'm sure many more if we think about it.
The catch is to make it mean something and that people get it. Also I agree that the unicorn in it's current pose is not very good. A unicorn also has a conotation of power, being mitical animals. Not just the fary tales mentioned. They appear in many ilustrations with very muscular bodys. A horse is a powerfull animal, but this unicorn is a bit thin, a bit weak, a bit feminine as someone has allready said, and pointing upwards is not that good idea. So, a good explanation on the unicord conotation, a refinement on the design to make it more powerfull, a new pose and well, we could think more about it from there. IMHO of course!
