Are you just too dense to understand that supporting a logo contest automatically implies that you are unsatisfied with the current logo? If you like Beastie why on earth would you want a contest to replace him? For the last time, it is not the contest that I and others are objecting to. It is what you intend to do with the results of the contest - that is, replace Beastie. > How many committers have responded here saying > just how much they hate the idea of even running the contest? > Why would they bother posting at all? It is not they who are being attacked - it's you and the others who want to dump Beastie and replace him. Of course since they aren't being attacked they aren't going to have a need to defend themselves. > And let me say once again, this is FOR a LOGO contest -- which is > not the same as being "Anti-beastie". All of us have said that > the Beastie will remain as a mascot. An hour ago you posted this: "if our much-larger user base has any interesting ideas for a new logo" you did NOT say: "if our much-larger user base has any interesting ideas for a logo" Your statement implied that a logo already existed - which in fact it does. You also said: "Somehow the ones who like the PRESENT logo seem to think.." What I see here is that when your using the "we never had a logo before" argument, you pretend a logo didn't exist, but all other times you acknowledge that it does exist. Ted
