ROME logo contest 
Mark Woodman has been very active in the ROME project lately: with Amin he created the ROME Aqueduct subproject, to add a pluggable persistence layer to ROME (they already have a Prevayler implementation)
More recently he organized the ROME logo contest, in order to get a cool logo for the growing number of projects that are powered by ROME.
You can see the current submissions, and because ROME is all about syndication, we have a feed for the latest entries in the contest!
For now I really like Mark's elegant and essentially typographic entry, as well as Jerrold Maddox's minimalist ROME-XML using the very nice Trajan font type.
Robert Copper posted 2 fun variants of Sun's Duke, as a roman legionnaire, and an orator, but I think we'd have some problems with Sun lawyers in order to adopt these ones in an open source project:-)
So if you have any talent for vector graphics art, please enter the contest: we need a cool logo for our T-shirts, in order to replace the quick design I made a few months ago. A software project is never complete until you ship the right T-shirt!
