There have been many candidates submitted in the Logo contest [1] which =
can be viewed at http://www.fdmhosting.com/log4j2/.  I am going to be =
honest and say that none of them grabs me and says =93that=92s the one=94,=
 although I like the ideas expressed in quite a few of them.  I =
definitely like the play on version 2 and using it as a superscript to =
make it appear as log4j squared.   Many of the logos just feel too big =
to me - they have Log4j adjacent to the image, making them take up a lot =
of horizontal space. On the images themselves, I really like the coffee =
cup submitted by Murad,   I like the script used by Andreas but I would =
prefer that the 4 was facing the correct direction and that the 2 =
superscript be to the right of the 4 instead of to the left.  I think =
many of the graphics submitted by Gary are kind of cool - they are very =
modern looking.

Ideally we should pick out a new logo before 2.0 is released so it would =
be great if we could get more discussion on this.

Finally, these are just my opinions.  I won=92t be the only one voting =
so I would definitely like to hear what some of the other PMC members =
think.

Ralph
