The logo contest was completed in March of 2010, and a new logo was chosen from among many excellent entries. This page is for historical purposes only, and editing is closed. See also this page.

New logos

Our current logos are fairly old and in some cases difficult to read because of their fuzziness. OTOH, I like that it invokes old-timey (US?) postmarks. With new versions of Mailman in the works, perhaps it's time to start soliciting new project logos.
