 I (sirvaliance) started working on ideas for a new Tahoe website and logo
 and have attached the preliminary logo proposal and screenshot of the
 website. The test site can be found at http://wy954.o1.gondor.io/, but may
 change at anytime.  The website is a rough start and has only been tested
 using Chrome.

 Initial reception (from IRC) for the logo was that the stencil font was
 too militaristic. As for the website, most felt that they would prefer
 minimalism and simplicity over the current setup.

 The topic of logo design is still open in Ticket #1185.

 I would prefer a discussion of ideas on what they would like to see from
 the redesign before I move forward.  I would also appreciate the posting
 of links to other websites that are in the vein of what you are all
 looking for.  This would include a color palette as well. The designs I
 made took into account that zooko preferred the black/red color scheme so
 the palette was greyscale/red.

Comment:

 The linked site is gone and I assume that at this point if we wanted to
 revisit the Tahoe-LAFS logo/branding/etc we would be starting from scratch
 and not from this work.
