Lester, the logos that Zaher created look great. They resemble the
modern style that Open Source software like Firefix or Thunderbird
uses.

So what's the official path for approval? And where are the official
Firebird logos? The gloat logos are, well, just gloat logos.

Thanks for the hint, Helen. I have already fixed that.

I created this page because I needed a "correct" logo for my software
and I didn't find it. I managed to get a CDR file from someone and
converted that to the various formats. The Firebird Project is of
course free to use them (and any other Firebird related material on my
website) and/or publish them on the Firebird website.

BTW, Zaher is correct in that the logo that appears on the Windows
installer is ugly, because it has been rendered without any
antialiasing. This is the first impression a newbie gets from Firebird
and IMHO it's not a good one.
