Hi Bryan,

I completely understand, and think it is always a good idea to reflect on
how Postgres is perceived based on current branding. My point is that the
logo is merely a tool that helps a brand to be recognisable and we risk
losing that if we switch to your design. It might be that it is the risk
the community willing to take but it's important to recognise it and to
understand what we would gain from it.

I am not sure what you mean by scalability?

I think in any case, a variation of an elephant logo might be handy for
local conferences or events that are looking for a near-Postgres-logo, but
don't have the means to develop it themselves (like those cool graphics
that Fabio shared from PGConf.Brasil.)

Kind regards,
Valeria
