Re: ORTC logo - donated by Hookflash

The WebRTC logo was designed to be all-encompassing; each circle in the
logo was meant to represent one of the five major browsers.

While there may have been unconscious bias, I can say that the logo was
never intended to be Chrome-centric, and I don't really see how it could be
considered so.

I don't really want to spend a lot of CG time arguing this, but I did want
to make the intent clear.
