After having finished the crucial part of my exams I finally did what I promised.
The logo I created from Downward's sketch has won in the final round and so I have to fulfill my promise to provide several versions of the logo. As discussed earlier the colored logo might need a recoloring but first of all I've created a black&white and a stroke version, which can be used anywhere in all colors we like. All with slightly reduced complexity.

Below a little gallery. First the black&white logo, then the stroke version in several different color schemes (yes, a few look a bit nerdy but it's just for the sake of demonstration ;-)). Click on one of the logos below to see a higher quality version.
Unfortunately I can't attach the SVGs here but I'll upload them to my server.

This is great! And this ticks off one of the three things required to get out an official release:

• Rebrand all the text from Songbird to Nightingale - stevo has done this
  
• Change the logos/images - stevo was waiting on these
  
• Create a new default feather and remove PurpleRain - stevo is working on this
  

I'm looking forward to this list getting finished, because then we can move into a proper project phase rather than everything hanging on the required work of a few people for legal reasons.

Yeah, Nightingale makes progress though it still doesn't compile on my system. :-)
If you want I could also participate a bit in creating the feather. I'm a web designer, not a XUL writer but perhaps I could help a bit for design and usability.

I'll work on the logos a little more the next days also coming up with versions suitable for very small icon sizes such as 16x16 pixels (maybe a modification and the original for 32x32 pixels and above).

[Manko10]

I've created two new colored versions, one coppery and one purple.
I'd prefer the purple version as the coppery one might look a bit like a bird that has fallen into a pile of excrement. However, in some situation that version might work as well.

Further on I removed that shadowy thing from the note head (also in the exports in my posting above) and provided a few more stroke versions on a transparent background.

I think the stroke version doesn't work so well as application icon but as a logo for the website and other branding stuff it might be great.

the coloured ones looking great. and also in my opinion the purple version looks a little bit better.

[Manko10]

I've created three versions with text. The font is Ayita Pro. I also experimented a bit with Expressway but then decided on Ayita Pro. I think that's the way to go. Ayita Pro is a serious but not formal font. It expresses flexibility but also reliability.

The slogan is not fixed. It's just something that came to my mind accidentally. I also played around with something like "Get your tune" or so (which I think is even better since it's shorter) but unfortunately that was to short for the design.

I was looking forward to seeing your work Manko10. And that's cool !

Personally I prefer the coopery logo because it looks like... a nightingale. The slogan is fine too.

[Manko10]

A colleague of mine also told me that he likes the coppery more and actually I chose that color because nightingales are brownish. If you think we'd go with that, that's totally fine. However, I think the purple bird looks a bit more precious.

[Manko10]

What about this?
