RE: [hobbit] Xymon Logo ?

That's always been one of the things I've never understood about companies...they don't think they are getting worthwhile software unless they pay through the nose for it.  Trust you admins and let them decide if it's worthwhile.  They're the ones that will be using it day to day.  I'll be the first to admit that there are some FOSS projects that aren't worth what you pay or them but they either get forked by people who care to make it better or they disappear altogether.

see xym.jpg in this attached email(it is only 16KB) so I think it is ok to be sent via this email.
I don't know engough about GIMP yet. I hope the "X" has four hobbit colors in the devided four sections.
let me know if you want the xym.xcf gimp file to continue the work.

I think logo design should be designed by the icon professional designer.
I am willing to pitch in money for this cost also.

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.
