Hi,

the distro logos are not an identity. They identify a branch of 
development. These change over time, as branches also changes, as we 
just see with the development of MicroOS as a "new" member and/or the 
upcoming of SlowRoll. As stated before, I identify with the chameleon as 
logo for the whole project. And this is not subject to change, as far as 
I have understood this.

Also the logos are supposed to be more homogeneous - which a good move 
especially in hindsight of the big ALP as a common base change.

Communication on before was leading into a different direction and it 
sounded if the whole project's identity is about to change - but that's 
also partly because of the drama seeking social media.

Cheers,
Bernd
