Hi, this is not question, just suggestion.

IMHO, gitea name is hard to remember and
it's logo is somewhat not attractive and complex.
gitea has better functionality than gogs,
so why not have more simple name and logo?

Gitea is a word composited git and tea. That wishes we can do git work relax. I think it's simple enough. For the logo, if we have a better design. I would like to change it. But before that, let's keep it.

Gitea is a smart name for this project.

@sailfish009 do not think the number of letters but syllables. Github (2 syllabes), Gitlab (2 syllabes), Gitea (2 syllabes too)

The "Gitea" name is very good.
But the logo can propose better.
We can propose something better?

@kolaente I might be being a bit too picky, but can you shorten the strings on the icons to about 3/4 their current length?

I think we should use a logo without the Gopher mascot in it. Gogs has a really nice looking logo, and I really like how the Gitea logo draft looks a few replies above mine.

@qdbdbp I like the first icon, but it would be nice to add the git logo somewhere.

@lunny I think there should be a new issue for each logo proposal, because as people comment on the different logos, it will get very confusing.

What I had in mind, I did the effort of using Photoshop ;-)
Still ugly, needs real improvements : better colors, fonts, item positions and stuff

Yes, i think this is a good option separate issues.
I will add to "git" to logo and create a new issue.
