PNG is fine. Just wanted to make sure it has a free use license.
Mark Roseman actually assisted with the newwww.tcl.tklook and I
think it is pretty good. Maybe not as "slick" as Ruby's, but remember
that Ruby really exists for Rails, and those are all web apps. I
would thus expect a higher level of web expertise per programmer than
Tcl's industry background.

I didn't mean to imply www.tcl.tk was ugly by any means! But it is
more functional (not that that's a bad thing!) than attractive for
newcomers. As an aside, I find www.tkdocs.com much more pleasing
visually. It could just be something as simple as the use of
whitespace and the graphics/image on each page.

Anyways, back to my original question - does a "modern" Tcl logo
exist?

New logo ideas accepted ...

Jeff

OK, you asked for it! I'll cobble together some ideas over the
weekend. If nothing else, the logos should provide a good laugh! As
Thorsten said, the new blue feather as an image looks fine. My issue
with it is that for someone not familiar with Tcl, the association
with "tickle" is not obvious and the logo itself is not sufficiently
distinctive (like, say, Tux) to stand on its own.
