Hello,

following up on this topic - after the last IRC meeting the conclusion
was to try to get something based on the logo from Kamailio World and
see if we get something usable for Kamailio. Olle volunteered to use its
artistic skills and connections and attempt to get some variants. The
graphic vector formats of Kamailio World logos are available at:

  - http://www.kamailio.org/pub/kamailio-world-logos/

If someone else is going to work on a new logo based on them, write me
directly not to overload the mailing list. I will put the variants
online to be viewed by others whenever we have to pick one.

Cheers,
Daniel
