The original logo, as submitted to the logo contest (by Andreas Nielson IIRC),
had different text (using the word "project" instead of library) in a different
font.  This can still be found in
logos/OpenClipArtLibrary/open_clip_art_library_logo_01.svg

The graphical element from this winning entry was taken and put with the text
for the name we use now, in another font, by someone else, possibly rejon.  Also
there were briefly different colors (notably, one of the clips was green at one
point).  This version can be seen in logotype_final_-_open_clip_art_library_01.svg

But the colors were then changed back to the original ones (except for the
background, which was selected to integrate with the site design's blue top
banner).  The font and text, however, were not changed back to their original
version, since it was felt that we wanted to use "Open Clip Art Library" rather
than "project".  Yet, the font we use now also does not match the one in
logotype_final_...

Except for color, the text we use now, and the font it is in, bears a striking
resemblance to the ones in Neil Stuber's entry, as seen in
open_clip_art_librarylogo_01.svg, so it is possible that it was taken from
there.  I am guessing that this may have been done by Jon, Bryce, or Nicu, but I
don't actually know.
