Ok here is a simplified and rationalised version of the existing logo. The main change is it is slightly less fussy. The is one vanishing point and it actually follows a sine function.
It should look good on different background colours such as grey. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jérémy Naegel <jeremy....@gmail.com> To: wave-dev@incubator.apache.org Sent: Fri, 25 March, 2011 20:52:53 Subject: Re: Licence on Wave Protocol Logo By the way, what about something hand-drawn ?
