Thanks für the feedback, that helps… J
1.) The font I used is as it is (wobbly etc.). I was looking for a font with rounded ends. I will choose another one. If you have any suggestion it is welcome.
2.) The lower “I” and the “I” in red shall make clear that BIRT is not only a reporting, but also a BI tool. Most people I know associate BIRT with an old fashioned reporting tool for lists… The Bi and the RT should be read each for themselves and both together. In question of trade mark it must be distinguished from other words like “bird” or other marks. There is no word written like “BiRT” this should make the mark more “safe”.
3.) The red shall also be a link between the picture and the word part of the logo. The green shall set off the word BIRT from the image, so that both are recognizable by themselves.
4.) I looked at several other project logos and many of them, not even the present logo of BIRT, links to Eclipse. Never the less, I see different possibilities if this is a wish or need, I will make a suggestion.

Betreff: Re: [birt-dev] New BIRT Logo
Business Intelligence Reporting Tool is very specific and contains all the keywords a designer needs. I'm not too worried that designers can't understand what we do.
However, I'd rather keep it in our own hands if possible.
I think it's a good start but it needs some work:
* I like the graphic, it is suited for icons and stuff
* The letters are a bit wobbly (see the box I drew)
* Why is the i lower case and red, why are the other letters green? What is the idea?
* What is the link to Eclipse? Maybe we can use the colors or do something with the logo
