I'm sorry to say, but this has been answered for you before Haiku-Security:

The very work that people are doing now (Waldemar, et al), is to sync the various parts of the website, and that should include rebranding the main haiku-os.org site (which has laggishly been waiting for an update for a while) with the current logo.

Presumably, when the guidelines for branding are complete, larger scale versions will exist, with suggestive use, allowing us to attach them to relevant work (like some diagrams+presentations Iâve been creating), and once again feel happy.
Brand Identity"

I understand that you might not think the replies you got were official enough, but I'm unsure as to what could have assured you more.

This is exactly what I am getting at. If there is no OFFICIAL LOGO then just SAY SO instead of people like me wasting my time porting the official logo to all mediums/sites!

Either we have a consistent branding, or we don't. What is the answer? And, if there are leaders, where is their leadership? Someone has to be in charge. Someone has to make the decisions on these items, or you are going to drive away talent.

I already created a Wiki version of the 'preferred' logo, and it was

seems to me to be a wasted effort.

here is a link:

 it is a drop-in replacement, fits exactly with the bg-gradient and
all
that.



I don't see why should it replaced, anyway, but whatever is
contributed, you may have to deal with seeing it not be used. That
happened with code, and that happened with other stuff as well. There
is no guarantee that contributed stuff of any kind can and will be
used. We will always try and consider it, of course. If the current
Wiki maintainer didn't like your logo, you probably have to deal with
it.

I've thrown stuff out of our repository, other's even replaced stuff I
had done - and that's perfectly okay, as long as the end result
improves :-)

The argument that the communications channels are b0rked holds water. 


Now what has this to do with that issue?

Bye,
  Axel.
