It's a little like an invitingly open door way.

Will the other submissions also be available?

Thanks,

Good point, although I have to say right away, this is a beauty, well done!

This is really interesting... The (so far 2) answers here are quite...
hmm... different compared to the (so far 59) answers here:

http://www.rubyinside.com/so-heres-the-new-ruby-logo-639.htm...

Does this mean that the Ruby world is clustered into (at least) 2 sets
of people: contributors to the Ruby mailing list and readers of the
rubyinside.com blog? Obviously not, but the contrast between the
quantity and content of the comments on the mailing list vs rubyinside
is pretty striking.

Cheers,
Peter

From a design point of view, it has a number of flaws and I find it
washed out and not as beautiful and striking as the exisiting logo.

I read through the comments on the website... aisde from the
unconstructive, inane slander which is unneeded, the professional
negative comments about sum up my view on this logo.

My 2c.

I think it could be improved with a bit of touch up.

It's ok, but it's really just the same logo in a box.
Hardly worth ¥100,000...
I won't be wearing any Tshirts of that, but I'll still use the
language regardless.
Better luck to us all next time...

I know it's too late for the contest, but this is a logo I'm using on some
shirts and presentations:

Maybe I would like others better, but I did not see them, I am the
conservative guy and I like how it stays in tradition, I also said
that I liked it but I am not a graphics guy, maybe I should not have
made my verdict.

But you know "de gustibus non disputandum esse" how to say that in English?
Tast's different?

Well, I rarely comment on blogs, and prefer to hold discussions on lists
such as this one.

But I did add a comment on rubyinside.com; I do not care for the new
logo, finding it clumsy and complex, useless at small resolutions and
monotone renderings, and generally lacking in the qualities that make
Ruby appealing. It looks like something for QVC, not a 21st C.
programming language.

Photorealism is the static typing of graphic design.

Yes, well Python proved that a sucky logo need not hamper a language,
though when they did their homepage redesign the logo got a welcome kick
into modern times.

You know all it really needs is for the background to be lighter and
the foreground to have "popping-out" contrast --richer color, perhaps
a little shadow. Then I think it would be pretty nice.
