Both: "Java is not proprietary" and "Java is not less popular",
because of the strong association with Sun Microsystems, Inc ?

Yeah, but they also have www.java.com in addition to that ?

I think the 1st one is outstanding and simple enough, maybe a RED one is even better,

but i will always use my GREEN mars:

for D, till Walter release the official one.

They still have the text "Sun Microsystems" under the java logos, plus one on the footer. And that's a page for non-developer users.

I agree, but an animated logo would be great in an about box...

We're talking very different approaches to marketing.  Sun did this because they could (and still can now that they have momentum).  They had lots of marketing dollars behind them to push Java through all barriers. Yet I believe there always was some annoyance to the fact that Java had so much control of the language.

Walter doesn't have this option. Like other languages that have been popularized from such meager beginnings, it is better, I think, to make the proprietary connection a little less apparent so people don't disregard it as just another proprietary language.  In this case, Walter has no mass of funds to market his language in spite of such bias.

I believe many people don't like seeing languages which appear to be controlled by a single company (I don't; I've made D an exception because despite initial appearances it is fairly open). Microsoft can push C# effectively because it's presence is extensive, it's software is ubiquitous, and it's funds are practically unlimited. The same goes for Java to some extent.

The more I see the digitalmars.com site, the more I realize this: the D language link is embedded within a commercial site with very little public face to show apart from it.  I think the discussion in the other thread is attempting to fix this problem, and I think that is great news!

Those are quite good. I would have to say F (greyscale) and E (red) are
my favorites.

The only nitpick is that the category E items seem to be less than perfectly circular. That's an easy fix though.

Fantastic work.

Gal, what software do you use to create these?  They are very good.  I would like to try my hand at this stuff.

Do you use vector based drawing software?
