Or for the tradition line, a look at the Maian.ttf (or Maiandb.tff ?)
with a bit of belleved text macro...

I'm concerned that the final result would be some sort of Frankenstein's 
Monster, where all kinds of features get crammed into one image...

Unobtrusive elegant lighting with an area_illuminating area light + 
radiosity + photons and/or SSLT would like nice.

  How about a scene (not necessarily something that would replace the logo,
but ought to have the logo in it somewhere) that clearly showcases *all* the
new (visible) features in pov3.7?

Yes.

An art gallery usually has a variety of themes and styles all in one  
gallery. So how about an art gallery with sculptures depicting each  
letter. Each sculpture can showcase a feature. Something like Salvador  
Dali's stuff would be nice.

I am thinking about a Renaissance-like painting, or maybe surrealistic: 
landscape with the letters as huge buildings of sort.... Piranesi too comes 
to mind...

Your reference was unfamiliar to me so I did some research and found this:
http://squashint.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/piranesi.jpg

I like the ladders, the block and tackle ... can't quite make out the 
contraption in right foreground ... a crane/lift/hoist maybe? I also 
like the style/mood of this example. So yeah I could see the The letters 
POV-Ray as a construction project of sorts (left to right in front of 
the hoist) ... OV-Ray is already in place, and the extra special "P" is 
being lowered into position ... or as you suggested same style but an 
outdoor scene. I want the final product 16x9 aspect so we'd have a 
little bit more horizontal real estate at our disposal.

This could work really well methinks. :)

Remember the reflective sphere under construction? I think that is an 
idea too.

Yes. That seems to be even better. I second that.
[although I love Piranesi ;-) ]

Since I liked the mood/lighting, the perspective, and the period of the 
example I cited. What about a combination of the two ... My busy time is 
just getting started, but I /may/ be able to find some time to rough 
something out ... I just got Bishop running via CrossOver on my linux 
system, and I think it'll make getting the basic scene geometry setup easy.

I'm not pushed by any time-line on this at the moment, so I'm not sure 
when I'll have something.
