We are not a company selling a product. I think having your 'corporate 
identity' in the form of one iconset and one color scheme for client, 
website, forum, ... is already taking it more than far enough on this 
front.

On corporate identities: Companies are not always as happy to have to 
stick to the same identity at each time. They _have_ to, for fear of 
losing clients. This means they typically keep on sticking to very old, 
legacy things, although they don't want to. An open source project has 
the freedom to _not_ do this, to be free in its slogans, to be free in 
its looks. It can even have funny slogans ! Such freedom also means a 
lot more freedom to progress!

I also would really like to see you come up with a slogan that everyone 
likes. Because this another thing that sets businesses apart from 
projects like this: they have dedicated people inventing this stuff, 
without having to compromise and to discuss the proposals with the 
complete userbase. People on this list can't even agree on a simple 
thing such as removing a never-used option from the UI, let alone make 
decisions like this.

So, as a counter movement, i ask you to stop the insanity to make Psi a 
static, rusted project.

cheers,
