Heartfelt (yet slightly envious ;) congratulations to the great Chris
Colefax, whose numerous contributions to the POV community cannot and must
not be ignored. Way to go Chris! :-D

So long as they're for the better and make it look more professional-like.

If this is the case, then it will still look more or less like an ice-cream
cone, right?

Oh, come on... it can't take that long to add it, can it? We don't mind
waiting a bit longer. Heck, most of us (myself included) wonder if this
"POV-Ray 3.5" really exists at all... ;)

We could tell you, but then, as I'm sure you comprehend, we'd have to kill you.

The primary change is that in the black and white version, the white
"highlights" are removed, so it looks more solid.  The only other potential
change (though this one is not for sure) would be to rotate it (the
"official" solid monotone version) about 25 degrees clockwise so that the
crescent is horizontal and the cone at the base is swept back.  This adds
more movement to the logo, but it decreases the visibility of the embedded
"P-O-V".  No decision has been made about whether or not we want to rotate
it.

Hopefully we can get somebody (maybe Chris C) to make us a nice splash
screen that uses the logo.  :-)

Ahh, perfect! I never liked those. :)

I actually thought about suggesting Chris to remove them back when he had
just submitted the logo, but for some reason I never did. I did suggest it
to TonyB though, who originally also had highlights in the b/w version of
his logo.

In my experience a design can be stylish and it can be dynamic. But not both
at the same time. I think this applies to this logo as well. If you rotate
it 25 degrees clockwise it will appear more dynamic but less stylish. I
personally definitely prefer the stylish version (not rotated). I think when
rotated it looks odd and unbalanced. I wonder if the votes would have been
different if... Never mind, it's your decision! :)

On a slightly different tack, would anyone know if the current IRTC trophy
gif files were generated in POV (the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. gold disks).

If so, whould you know if the source POV file(s) can be downloaded from
anywhere ?

My reasons for seeking these source files will become apparent (If it's
finished in time) on 15th Jan (IRTC Anim 'Chase' round)

Cheers.
