Subject: Re: [ANN] the result of Ruby official logo contest

Oh, I didn't mean to make you sad! :)

I just thought it best to be frank about it.  I'm not a brand design
expert or anything, but I think this logo sort of fails on a number of
levels.

Can I ask you why you're seeking something other than the gem itself?
Is there a specific need you were wanting to fill with this logo that
it wouldn't?  I didn't see any sort of information like that anywhere.
 "Promotion of Ruby" doesn't really say much, especially when I think
the gem on its own would probably work for that.
