The different background > for the two parts of the word adds to this. Still, they are attractive. Yes. PostgreSQL is hard to read as one word even when printed ;) I think it would help to move the "powered" word up (and make it "powered by") and have the baselines for "Postgre" and "SQL" line up. > Hmmm, I have an idea, what about a Penguin? I did some logos a few months ago based on a Crocodile image. Unfortunately I have'nt had time to work on it lately. They are still up for viewing at : http://www.trust.ee/Info/PostgreSQL.figs/logo/page.html I got even some positive feedback ;), especially for the 'PostgreSQL underneath' logo button on page2. But to make a proper logo out of that material still requires some work. Hannu

I think alot of ppl had agreed that it was, but the image needed to be worked on... I even like the 'commentary' at the top of the page, which we could use as a "How we choose our Totem" page? :) I really liked his 'doing a search over an Object-relational..." imagine ...

I have an idea. Instead of making the SQL with horizontal lines, could we make it with rectangles, so it looks like an SQL table.
