#13I didn't know it even had a logo. I only ever see it as a command in a terminal.

#14Originally proposed logo looks so much better than the accepted one. Perfect example of client interfering with suggestions that result in something safe but boring.
I have yet to see a logo redesign which some designer didn't criticise.

I agree with his objection to the first. It's easy to see the logo with the logotext and read it as "URL" instead of "curl."
The logo for the accepted version is the best of the 3, in my opinion. However, when looking at it combined with the logotext it looks kind of odd in that the slashes are leaning away from the word curl so prominently. (#2 doesn't have this problem). No matter, though, it is a big improvement.

Do you mean the one with the :// which precedes the "curl"? If so, I agree. The first version was too complex and inconsistent, but the third version played it too safe. I also agree with another poster who said that the accepted logo has more in common with PCBs than URLs.

Urr because everyone on this site uses curl every day at every available opportunity?

I think curl is one of those little things that don't get much attention, but are invaluable for much of our serious work. And just announcing a logo for it makes some of us recognize it and remember to appreciate the efforts of the project.
