Its sounding somewhat like there's still some pent up creative juice
out there to optimize this logo further. I don't recall there ever
having been an official logo competition ... it seems to have
proceeded somewhat ad hoc. I'm not speaking for myself, in particular,
but it seems like some others might want to get into the game.

I've been involved with numerous startups and their logo selection
processes way more than I would like. Sounds like there's an
opportunity here for a simple little web2py app that would be of
interest to small businesses and possibly attract them to use web2py:

- Display a gallery of logos that are submitted by all comers
- let visitors vote once per logo and let them change their vote up
until a specific date
- let visitors see the average vote per logo and how many people voted
for that logo
- leave the new logo upload function open for awhile so people can
hone and refine their ideas
- let the voting period start after the logo upload has been open
awhile and end a couple of weeks after that

MDP obviously has the right to have final say on the logo. He might
want to reward the winner with an acknowledgement, bragging rights,
and eventually, a logo'd trinket.

Eventually, with logos, one needs a document describing permitted
usage. There should be reversed versions of the logo on light and dark
backgrounds. If the logo has an icon, it should be specified whether
the logo can be represented by the icon alone. Copyrights on logos are
important as they are original artwork. This document should probably
ultimately appear on the web2py website.

I'm sure the logo voting app would be useful to many small businesses
in the social networking space who want to get community feedback for
a group identity. See this example done recently with Ruby:

Apologies if this is repeating someone else in this very long and old
logo thread.
