Re: Logo redesign proposal

Hi MW

On one hand, I really like the old Groovy logo for screaming "Groovy!", but
I can also see why the old logo might be a hindering for new adapters.

I think it is worth having a discussion, and your suggestion is a good step
on the way. I can see, that you have put thoughts into this.

My biggest gripe about your current proposal is the choice of colors, as I
am really fond of the blue color in the current Groovy logo.
