StewI don't agree that a new identity is needed at all. The currently logo is quite "famous" and I don't consider it to be awful enough that the top priority should be to replace it. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to brush it up a bit, but creating a totally new one is not something I think we can do, nor is it "within our rights" :]Personally, my opinion is that changing the logo would be not only a mistake, but a branding nightmare. However, that doesn't mean there isn't an infinite number of possibilities in modifying the existing one: something as simple as a one-run animated GIF that has a gleaming reflection running the outside border of the logo would be enough to signal "change" without having people scream in horror, "oh, my God, Microsoft(R) just bought PHP!"
