I was just giving my simple user opinion (not being a designer nor a artwork guy myself ;-) ) I was thinking that it would make more sense to use the same color for the "CentOS" word, like for example for the one we have already for the bug tracker : https://bugs.centos.org/images/centos-292-new.png Still "enough" dark, but not black, and so it can be seen as a whole : logo and centos words are part of the same identity and not something constructed from a logo on one side, and a centos word from somewhere else. Just giving my opinion though - -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlU0juAACgkQnVkHo1a+xU7BFwCgiSqr2aHrgHu6cvdXZo9dOMcn GaMAn0e5Y3s1+miEOzhRm0p1g/0DJvYx =v7so -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
