I have noticed a second Zope logo appearing in some places (notably the Portal Toolkit Demo, but now also the www.mgmt-inc.com homepage, for instance). Since it is our common goal to evangelize the Zope platform, I believe it is a bad idea to have two Zope logos floating around the net, as this dilutes the branding effort. I think everybody should refrain from creating alternative Zope logos. On the contrary, we should establish guidelines for using the oficial logos, and post "oficial renderings" on the Zope.org site. In sum, we should all choose one logo and stick with it. By the way, in my opinion the Zope logo as displayed at the zope.org homepage is EXCELENT: it is beautiful, simple and can be recognized very quickly. One cannot ask for more.

The Zope logo I display on my site is the one that I grabbed from DC's home page, and it is the one printed on the t-shirts at the Linux Expo held recently in Raleigh, NC. Jim

I had not noticed that DC itself is using the spherical logo on its homepage... And even printing t-shirts! Although I much prefer the logo on the Zope.org site, we will switch to promoting the other one if that becomes "oficial". My main point is: having two logos makes promoting the Zope brand twice as difficult. And now at this early stage is the best moment to decide which logo to promote, before a lot of people commit to one or the other. Best regards, Luciano Ramalho

The second logo (as displayed on the @mgmt homepage, for example) is the new Zope logo used in Zope 2, and will very probably completely replace the old logo once the new Zope site is finished. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
