Hi, > Today W3C introduced an HTML5 logo for public consideration: > http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-8992 While, like Jeremy, I'm not crazy about the intended use of the logo as a catch-all for the open web platform, I think it looks really sharp. Well done! There's one bit in your announcement to the working group that confuses me, however: > The W3C Communications Team is excited about the HTML5 logo, developed > with community support, and hopes it will help you promote your work. This announcement email was the first I had heard of the logo. Now, it's entirely possible that there are significant fora on the Internet in which HTML5 is discussed that I'm unaware of or in which I don't participate, but I think I've got a pretty good handle on what's being discussed in the community. And, well, this logo wasn't discussed in the community prior to its announcement today. So I'm not sure how you can say that it was developed with community support. That said, and with the caveat regarding its FAQ furthering the confusion around what HTML5 is and isn't, I look forward to this logo being embraced by the community. Ted
