Its been about 24 hours since Mark Boulton bravely posted some preliminary thoughts and sketches of a new Drupal wordmark. 60+ comments have been left on that post (and counting). Some of what has been said is useful to the discourse, others... perhaps not so much. I think the conversation can be boiled down to:

• This is a work in progress
• The initial concept is too 'Bauhausy' (i.e. people aren't crazy about the Bauhaus like word forms)
• This will not be a design by committee process - the Designer will have the final word
• Other options will be explored based on the feedback
• Maybe it was too early to solicit feedback on the design

Luckily there is more to this redesign than just a wordmark
