Heidi,

TripleO team discussed about the logo this morning during our weekly meeting.
We understood that we had to change our existing logo because it
doesn't meet OpenStack themes requirements, and that's fine.

Though we would like you to re-iterate on a new logo that would be a
variation on the current logo that moves closer to the foundation.

Our existing logo is: http://tripleo.org/_static/tripleo_owl.svg

Please let us know if you can prepare a new logo close to this one,
and I think we would find a middle ground here.

Thanks a lot,
