Could you put my idea up there too? Maybe we could have a logo 
competition!

I'd really like to hear an official response on this subject from 
Xiph.org. I respect the technical abilities of the Ogg developers, 
but when it comes to hardware branding neither the fish or the thor 
logos are adequate. I think the input of some experienced graphic 
designers and/or marketing people is needed, as it would be a shame 
for Ogg support to go unrecognised over such a simple issue.

Why do you think iRiver created their own logo for Vorbis support? 
Because the existing logos just don't work, and are far too expensive 
to print on the case of a hardware device. If you don't tackle this 
issue, you'll either get a variety of non-standard logos appearing, 
or more likely you won't see Ogg on hardware or packaging at all.

There's no reason why the fish can't be retained as the logo of 
Xiph.org or whatever. But please, look beyond your personal 
attachment to the old logos and think about the bigger picture.

Cheers

Daniel
