Hi Monty,

It's ironic that you're down on amateurs, given that many 
contributions to Xiph.org projects are unpaid. Of course I support 
your right to choose the branding that you think is the best.

I'm afraid that you've proved the point that you don't understand 
hardware branding. These logos are fine for a website but of no use 
to a hardware OEM - too complicated, too many colours, and you can't 
recognise them at a small size. Plus there's the issue that you've 
assumed the target audience can read a Latin script. If you think of 
something like the Dolby logo, it's independent of any character set.

I have been trying to be constructive, but it's not easy when your 
contribution is dismissed out of hand. If you're determined to stick 
with the fish for Vorbis, then I suggest making it a black outline in 
SVG format and see how it looks when printed 4mm in width on a piece 
of aluminium. 

Cheers!
