Subject: Re: the result of Ruby official logo contest

I like that logo because it's versatile.  He's put a "Web 2.0" finish
on it now, but you could just as easily redefine it into something not
Web 2.0.  I see it like the Apple logo: rainbows were so 1970's, but
tossing some shine on it brought it into the new millenium.

I think that logo could handle that sort of transformation quite easily.
