1. Ideas for logos or logo themes

• A computer of some kind with people living in/on it and performing various activities in/on it. Perhaps a mounted "HCoop" sign on top of it. --AdamChlipala

• A stylized drawing of a rackmount server inside a circle, with hands/arms coming symmetrically from different directions to touch it. Probably monochrome or close ot it. --AdamChlipala

• Best logo yet! I very much like the circled-planet center. Not so sure I like the cropped "h" on top, perhaps it could be modified. But this one is showing promise. How about changing it to a fat, capital H instead? Something like a less ugly/more stylized version of this:

  (Obviously that H is too wimpy-looking, but that seems to be a more balanced-looking/symmetrical logo.) --NathanKennedy

  • I like this a lot. Even though Adam says that text may work against us, I think using the planet in the center and then a simple "HCOOP" in the black ring would look great. Perhaps the HCOOP being at the same arc as the ring. --JohnSettino

Quick symetrical job before work:

2.0.7. More planet

This is actually Chris "det" Clearwater's design which I only slightly modified and I offer it here because I liked something about it. --DavorOcelic

• I like the text/logo juxtaposition here. Perhaps this simple route is better than trying to do clever things with the letters. However this planet looks a bit too egg-shaped, maybe a little more round would be better. I'm not sure if I prefer the original planet color-scheme or not, I suppose that's just a matter of taste. --NathanKennedy

  I'm also not too gung-ho about incorporating text into the logo. A simpler yet more distinctive logo that uses a graphic that symbolizes us in some way could be much more effective. --AdamChlipala

2.0.8. Four Hands

Try at mixing the Ubuntu style of portraying cooperation with more 'square' theme.

• These are interesting looking logos. However I didn't know they were hands until I read your email. They look more like whales, or mittens, which is kind of strange. --NathanKennedy

How about this one ?
