Re: [phoenix-dev] New website design: a call for participation
So can we use the one that's on a white background on anything other than a white background? I don't even know if it works visually with that many other colors, but just for the sake of widening our submission pool, is that allowed? It says "on light background" on the web page, but since the comments here were about "white" I just wanted to make sure.

Yes we can use the eclipse logo on a white background.  You can ask Janet
but it really isn't a legal issue.  All the logos on this page are legit.

Design Issue
One problem we have with the eclipse website design at all are two
things. The Logo itself doesn't work well on light backgrounds and the
main color (purple) is not modern at all. It looks dark and in lighter
tunes it looks not really nice.
Spot on, Roger. The logo unfortunately really mucks up most decent redesigned color options. The fact that the logo requires a specific background color (and that it is dark purple) is, IMHO a real problem for designing anything to look good.

There is an Eclipse logo with a white background that, I think, qualifies. I'll ask Janet if we can actually use it.
