Well if people like "shotgun owl" I will offer this choice:
http://people.apache.org/~stephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-owl-selection.png
<http://people.apache.org/%7Estephenc/maven-logo-contest/maven-owl-selection.png>
A, B or C
My vote is for B if we don't mind the "shotgun owl" comments... I
initially liked the red of C but after trying blue I favour B as it is
closest to my original vision with the colour scheme I now prefer.

I found the "shotgun owl" to be pretty funny and unique. Part of
choosing a
trademark is uniqueness and that is more valuable than something
standard.
I think the white belly should return for that return.
Cheers,
