When Lana was asking about resources for re-designing the Install Guides landing page, someone at the Foundation (Heidi I think?) made a comment that the new logo will also come with a redesign and that their goal is later this year, not before Boston Summit. So we should have followed up on that thread.

By using a different logo, we won't have the docs header be identical to the www header. So you lose the trust and credibility of a reader by giving them a non-seamless experience and an off-brand look.
