Honestly I didn't. But that's not my concern, you're most likely correct that it
might be looking better for now with the color you've chosen. I don't object
that and I don't mind if we do that for the spring logo.

My concern was about a common ground for artists willing to give us some logos.
A plain white does not limit them like other colors could do. For the case white
would not be a good background for the logo created, one might fade in in
logo-space to a dark/colored background.

One might argue that the colored background belongs to the corresponding logo
but that third color is in my eyes also a visual break in our homepage design -
whatever it is other than the white or the green we're using for the rest of the
content.

Maybe - let's say I jump in to release Michael from yet another burden. But I
don't decide anything that's not what maintaining should be about. For the
spring logo I would be really fine with all your suggestions.
