Having chipped in early on in this debate I have avoided becoming
embroiled since I think it has all been too detailed and in the wrong
direction, and I have little time just now for any email. A few points:
– Branding is important.
– I heard Walter's comment early on, that he has repeated a number of
times: he likes the current logo and doesn't want to change it.
– Constructive effort needs to go into a D brand to set it up to compete
for hearts and minds of programmers and their managers against C++, Go,
Rust, etc.
– Discussing a new logo is not constructive at this time, since it is
not part of a whole brand discussion.
– A new website is being proposed, it is an opportunity to create a
brand, based on the current logo.
I have to get back to Python stuff now. Also I am not a brand designer,
just a somewhat experienced brand evaluator.
