Yes. PostgreSQL is hard to read as one word even when printed ;)

I think it would help to move the "powered" word up (and make it 
"powered by") and have the baselines for "Postgre" and "SQL" line up.

I did some logos a few months ago based on a Crocodile image. 
Unfortunately I have'nt had time to work on it lately.

They are still up for viewing at :

http://www.trust.ee/Info/PostgreSQL.figs/logo/page.html

I got even some positive feedback ;), especially for the 
'PostgreSQL underneath' logo button on page2.

But to make a proper logo out of that material still requires some work.

	I think alot of ppl had agreed that it was, but the image needed
to be worked on...

	I even like the 'commentary' at the top of the page, which we
could use as a "How we choose our Totem" page? :)

	I really liked his 'doing a search over an Object-relational..."
imagine ...

I have an idea.  Instead of making the SQL with horizontal lines, could
we make it with rectangles, so it looks like an SQL table.  That may be
a nice effect.
