[hobbit] Xymon Logo ?

[Everett, Vernon]

I agree.
Let's not rush into this.
Remember, we live in a world where lawyers prowl, and they will sue you, simply because your logo looks a little bit like theirs, or uses the same colours as theirs, or makes people crap the same colour as their logo does.
Hobbit worked fine for years without a logo, as did Linux, and many other products out there.

I am not saying we need to wait years before we come up with a logo, I just don't believe we need to rush into this.
Sometimes, when something doesn't need to be done, it is important that it isn't done.

Regards
    Vernon
