The first question I had seeing this, what are we trying to achieve by creating a new logo for Postgres. I think current logo established itself well and is very recognisable among other logos in the industry. Changing it would mean that we might risk losing this recognition, especially when many Postgres initiatives have logos based on the official Postgres elephant (attached).
Overall, I think that if there is a feeling in the community that we need to address a particular issue in Postgres perception and this logo would be part of a larger change (in the community or the database itself) then a revision of the logo may be justified.

Hello PostgreSQL advocacy group,
I recently contacted the core team about a logo design I came up with. Bruce kindly directed me towards this group.
As you can see in the forwarded message below, logo design is a bit of a hobby for me. If you and the community agree that the design has potential, I would be happy to iterate on the design based on your feedback.
If not, it was a fun project for me anyway.
I really like your logo; it's useful too in that it would work equally well in colour and black-and-white contexts.
I wouldn't mind seeing a little more contrast in the logo, perhaps some subtle areas of darker tone that would make the elephant more obvious. Though I'm not a design expert...!
