New GCC logotype development. (Was:Re: New GCC logotype version 1.6 (Sorry, I forgot to attach the image).)

[Matt Austern]

I am not at all convinced that GCC needs a new logo.  Before anyone 
draws pictures it would be better to say, in words, what problem they 
think they're solving.  What problems does the existing logo cause, and 
in what way would a new one solve those problems?

One way in which the existing logo succeeds as a logo (a more 
specialized issue than succeeding as a picture) is that it's line art.  
It reproduces nicely on a variety of output devices, including 
monochrome devices and ones with limited resolution, and it can easily 
be scaled or adapted to different needs.  If we ever do decide we want 
to change or modify our existing logo, we need to make sure to preserve 
those properties.
