Hm, I wrote about a nice girl, because Europa was a girl and why using a ugly one for a logo. She should definitly dressed, best in an ancient greek gown. The drawing should be very simple, so we can use it in bw and as a small logo, so we dont need details. A simple GNU a simple girl and the twelve stars in a circle around them.
Twelve stars? EU is NOT europe I think we'd established that already.
Indeed.... although the 12 stars no longer represent each country and will contiune to be twelve they are still the symbol of the EU. Russia, some blatic countries, even some northern vountries IIRC are not EU.
I do understand that the twelve stars would make an association with Europe, but I don't know if it's fair to make Europe == EU.
My vote is for the original FSF symbol. Nothing more - nothing less. Another symbol will probably only confuse the oroginal issue.
Well, I'm also for straight and simple logos, and I'm all for the original FSF logo. The fact that this is an European org. should be quite simple to see if we add 'Europe' to it; still, as I see things the majority seems to like more complex and symbolic logos and I won't argue with that.
