I'm actually more a fan of BugsBane and Ivan's. One steady critique towards
a lot of these designs though...the slogans are:
* Powered by KDE
* Built on the KDE Platform
* Part of the KDE family
Lots of the logos omit "the" from the design, resulting in "Built on KDE
Platform" or "Part of KDE family". It's grammatically wrong and sounds
funny so they should work that word back in imho. This is actually part of
the same reason I'm not a big fan of verbalshadow's as it stands at the
moment. It omits most of the slogan, using only one word. Stu, are you in
charge of this initiative? Could we pass along some feedback to these folks
before we put it to a vote? :D
