Very bad logo faux pas?

[Karen Fung]

Hey everybody,

So, I just had the most random thought when someone from Toronto
commented on our logo, and I can't believe I hadn't thought of this
prior to this:

Our logo is a trolley, powered by the BarCamp flame.

It looks like a trolley bus on fire.

A trolley bus was set on fire this past Halloween not a month ago.

*foreheadslap*

OK. It's not too late to change the logo (and to ask everyone who's
posted it to swap it for a new one), but I'm going to look for
confirmation first before flipping out. Is this a potentially awful
terrible thing that we need to fix, or am I blowing it out of
proportion?

I'm astounded that the bunch of us haven't caught on to this, but I
know it happens if we see it and all think "barcamp", not "fire".

Thoughts?

I don't think it looks like it's on fire. I think it looks like those cars that have jet engine, and when they start up, a blast of fire comes from the tailpipe. I don't think it'll be a big issue, and you could always make a short notice at the beginning of TransitCamp just in case anyone was thinking that. If you want to change it you can, but I don't see a major issue.

I don't think it's a big deal. Lets beg for forgiveness if necessary.
