From what I remembered, at first, everyone was gravitating towards 
using the logo with Alex the Aligator, but then Johan Peitz mentioned 
that the copyright situation was somewhat ambiguous so other ideas had 
to be found. Although many proposals were put forward, we couldn't come 
to much of a consensus as to which one to choose. After that, much of 
the discussion centred on trying to convince the Allegro developers to 
agree to endorse whatever logo-proposal was agreed upon, without 
actually having agreed on one first, while not much discussion on which 
logo to agree on. In the end, everyone got fed up of the discussion, but 
a page on the Allegro Wiki was made showing off the proposals we had 
come up with so far - 
http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Mascot_discussion (and also 
http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Community_logos for banners) (BTW 
there is another page of logo-proposals on the Allegro Sourceforge page 
at http://alleg.sourceforge.net/logos.html ). Since then, not much has 
happened.

BTW I agree with what others have said about the musical version of 
Armin's logo. Seeing that 'Allegro' is already a musical term, using a 
musical logo will mislead people into thinking that the scope of the 
lbrary only involves music.
