I agree.

But if we had planned this from the start, we would be able to do the
contest differently - everyone would be asked to:

 - create the logo with some tagline (like Andy did)
 - put the logo on a shirt for example (the shirt svg would be provided)
 - (optionally) create a derivation of the logo for some special
sprint, for example Plasma at CERN
 - create launcher icons for various sizes that can be different from
the logo, but connected

Which is unfortunate, but not that much of a problem IMO - we have
been /stuck/ with the current K-gear icon in the launcher since KDE
1.1 (1999).

On the orther hand, LTS is the culmination of the stabilization work
we have been doing and it should have as few rush-jobs as possible -
it should provide what people are used to modulo the bugs.
