Was anyone else expecting the thing to be fully CSS rather than a .jpg?!

That would be awesome. An incredibly awkward contortion of CSS is always a better way to render a logo than, you know, pixels.

Looks like the Autobot insignia. Is this a declaration of solidarity against the evil forces of the Flashicons?

More like a take on the Superman insignia.

my thoughts exactly. i like it.

Wow. I actually doubled-checked the location bar to see if this was the real deal or just some designer take on it. It's a really great logo, definitely "with the times" with the bold, sharp lines and flat colors. I'm not sure I'll be putting it on any websites, since I don't think most users care or understand markup versioning, but grats to w3c for doing something that doesn't look like it came out of a committee o…

Maybe you won't put it on any main page but I suggest you do on your "about" page or what have you.

I can't be the only user in the world who has seen an interesting "tech" thing and subsequently learned more from a website.

It can't hurt!

And the IE folks on Twitter are using it as their picture:

I think we can expect full compliance.

Wow, I was prepared to mock it after seeing that w3.org actually had to design something, but it's rather good.

According to http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/html5_va... the logo was designed by "Honolulu, HI-based Ocupop." (http://ocupop.com)

It seems the logo is an image (http://www.w3.org/html/logo/img/html5-topper.png). How long until someone can draw it using purely HTML5?

Was hoping someone would uncover the designer. Ocupop has more info > http://ocupop.com/html5

I'm sure you got it - but my point was that I was expecting them to use all 'HTML 5' to render their HTML 5 logo...

Not that I am condoning it, I was just expecting it.

I'm sorry, but this is laughable. Do people put icons in their iOS apps advertising the use of CoreAnimation? Do they put some kind of Silverlight or Flash badge on their web sites done with those technologies? It's just a set of useful technologies. Why all the branding hoo-hah?

>...hoo-hah?

I don't think that word means what you think it means...
