Although I really like the actual logo because it tells much about the
project, I somehow also agree that it is not the top of style
(especially the handle of the lense and the extensive use of color).
Despite some comments here scaling _is_ an issue for logos  as well as
contrast - and ours is not very good at both. Personally I really like
the mapzen logo [1] to give an example (might be also problematic for
scaling, might need different versions for different scales, but it is
estetically good because of the reduced color set).


cheers,
Martin
