[MonoDevelop] Logo

[Arjan Hulshoff]

I wouldn't call it dictatorship. At some point there has to be made the 
decision to stop change the logo. It is not good to change your logo 
continously, because a logo is a brand. People recognize a logo and it 
is important to position yourself in the market. So I can understand 
this decision. Eventhough this is an open source application, it still 
needs a recognizable brand and to become popular. And after all that is 
what we all want... Popular open source applications for everyone, used 
by everyone. Maybe Lluis should have told it differently, but that is 
merely a choice of words. It is all marketing. Something most of us 
don't deal with, but is still a part of the acceptance of an 
application.

Regards,
Arjan.
