Re: [paho-dev] Status of MQTT-S spec

[Andy Piper <andypiperuk@xxxxxxxxx>]

To clarify on the logo. The original logo was done by an intern at
Hursley a number of years ago.

I made an SVG version of it to smarten up the mqtt.org graphics a
while ago. Because of the gradients and things, the SVG is not simple
and seems to render differently in some viewers.
I don't have that published anywhere because the original concept /
design wasn't mine. Arguable of course since I've already reproduced
it...

We asked Andy-SC about this on the mqtt list recently and I think
there was some effort to decide whether all of the graphics should be
available under a free license. That makes a lot of sense. I think
they were trying to contact the original designer to ask.
