All points are valid IMO except the logo is still the xwiki.org logo since
negotiations seem to have fallen apart on choosing a new one. Also it will only
be used in the administration interface and people there will likely know what
they are administrating.
I'm happy with whatever, I'll apply the current #2 logo and if a different one
is made before release day and the community finds it better, I'll change.

Hi,
Check the proposal I have made for Invitation app here:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Ciprian/Invitation%20icon
All suggestions are welcomed!
Hm, although it respects Caleb's hints, I don't quite like either
proposal. Looking at it, it doesn't suggest "invitation" at all, but
mailserver configuration (which we actually do have in the "General"
administrative category). A good option would be to actually make a new
category for the mailserver settings and use one of these icons.
Searching for "Invitation" on Google Image Search, I noticed two things:
- invitation envelopes have a ribbon + knot on them, and they don't
usually get sent via landmail (thus no stamps nor postal markings)
- invitations start with handwritten "You're Invited" (see
http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7DmaO_QbCcmK0M:http://www.misquincemag.c…
for an example)
So, a suggestion would be to eliminate the stamp and instead use a
ribbon around the envelope.
Another suggestion would be to use an open envelope and a letter with
You're Invited on it.
Also, I'm not sure the XWiki (SAS) logo should be there, since normally
people using XWiki don't see that logo, so it's a bit confusing.
