Thank you for developing it, Bryan!
The first question I had seeing this, what are we trying to achieve by
creating a new logo for Postgres. I think current logo established itself
well and is very recognisable among other logos in the industry. Changing
it would mean that we might risk losing this recognition, especially when
many Postgres initiatives have logos based on the official Postgres
elephant (attached).
Overall, I think that if there is a feeling in the community that we need
to address a particular issue in Postgres perception and this logo would be
part of a larger change (in the community or the database itself) then a
revision of the logo may be justified.
Kind regards,
Valeria
