PLC = POV-Ray Logo Competition.

Why should POV-Ray have a logo?
What should the purpose of the logo be?

It is important that we define this. Discussions about which qualities the
logo should have, and about how the logo rules should be, are dependent on
this issue.

Is the logo supposed to attract new users by looking appealing to them, i.e.
to "sell" POV-Ray?

Is it supposed to be a logo for all the current users, who will associate
the POV-Ray logo with the program POV-Ray? (In the same way as the name
"POV-Ray" is associated with the program POV-Ray.)

Is it supposed to obtain some status in the POV-Ray society by being used on
web-pages dedicated to POV-Ray, and on desktop wallpapers, and in desktop
themes etc.?

Anything else?

What should the purpose of the logo be, and if more than one thing, what is
more important?

I hope we can have a good discussion about this. Remember that those who
don't join the discussion cannot at a later stage complain about the
conclusions reached. So if you have any opinion please reply. Reply even if
your opinion has already been stated by somebody else. That way we might be
able to see a general tendency. In the end I will write down the conclusions
reached, and we can proceed to the next discussion.

Greetings,

Rune
