[cgiapp] Proposed new look and branding for cgi-app.org

[Giannis Economou]

Hello...


Personally I welcome the move forward to a better name to brand and 
market. I like Titanium and think it's easy to memorize and to refer to.
Of course always "the enemy of the good is the better". The only thing 
to think of is the http://titaniumapp.com/
About the new site I like it. I personally find the bonsai (and the 
green near the brand name) is not very well suited (different value than 
titanium).
I know I say my opinion without proposing alternatives now, but hope 
it's better than not writing at all... :-)

Regards,
Giannis Economou
