Hi,
I was about to prepare a logo for our NuGet package when I realized I didn't have vector based version of the NHibernate logo.
I managed to find this old thread from 2008 which seems to eventually agree that a contest took place sometime earlier and that the contribution from Andrew is the way to go. There is a vector version available towards the end.

I have archived the vector version in both the original .ai and .svg here:
https://github.com/nhibernate/nhibernate-core/tree/3.3.x/logo/old
Strangely enough, all non-vector versions in use on e.g. nhforge etc. use somewhat paler colors. Does anyone know if this is somehow by accident or deliberate? (Personally I feel that the original, stronger. colors are more attractive and have a bit more "edge".)
I went looking for the vector format because I feel that with todays widespread support for PNG we should use that instead of GIF, to exploit alpha channel for easier and more beautiful anti-aliasing.
