Historically this is what happened... 1) People started submitting logos more than one year go. Early logos were posted here: http://www.web2py.com/AlterEgo/default/show/97 2) We called for a competition on this list but no new logos were submitted. We did not have a formal vote of existing logos because I had the feeling there was not overwhelming majority for either of them. 3) More recently I received the two new logos I posted here. To me they both looked very professionally done so I asked you people.
I have no opposition to build an app to solve problems like this one and if you build one I will post it on appliances. But in the end we need to make a choice and the sooner the better considering how long this issue has been around. It seems to me everybody likes logo A so I have included it in trunk. I too like ti a lot (it has the W, it gives a sense of community, it is simple to remember, it is clean). Nothing prevents revising the logo over time and, in particular, change the fonts for the text.
