Firstly, a new logo is not something you roll out on its<br>> own, it's part of a new 'corporate identity' and it's not something you just<br>> implement by accepting a pull request. Secondly, there's tons of derived<br>> products that are sitting there looking dated all of a sudden; not only<br>> national or
sub-project web sites, also printed materials. It seems very<br>> amateurish to have different logo versions sitting around in different parts<br>> of the project. All in all I believe some advance notice would have been a<br>> good idea.
