At first, I thought that a POV logo has definitely to be made with POV.
But as a logo is either a 2D or a 3D image, it would be too limiting.

It would be an impossible task to show all the possibilities of POV in a single
LOGO.

In the 2D image case, it would be too limiting to use only POV.
POV is a great renderer, but how many of us only use it to create a scene.
Personnaly I use several tools to build a complete object ( let alone a complete
scene)



Now that I think of it, may be that I should post this in the general NG
