Okay :-)

Let's do that more (again), then. For my part, I'd love to push that 
concerning design and branding stuff.

Absolutely!

...which is something I like a lot about the TYPO3 community :-) That 
people actually care what we work with in regard to design and branding.

I think you're totally right about that. It does present other 
challenges, though.

There's just been endless debates about it, both face to face and via 
email about it. We've tried many variations and many very different 
solutions - and talked them over between design, marketing, core teams, 
guys who were involved in the past and with a couple of outsiders. It's 
a long story and it would go too far for me to account for it as so many 
people have been involved in the discussion.

Best,
