I don't think the project is in need for a new logo, but I like
the approach in the first logo. It is not cheesy as many modern
designs today.

The first logo is something to work on. I think I have difficulty
decognizing an elephant if it had not appeared in the Postres context.
But I like the added velocity - it almost feels like the elephantlike
creature is running waving ears. Its trunk somehow does not fit well.

The whole point of a logo is to have only one ...

If like bitmap work, I have published 32x32 and 48x48 favicons
based on the current logo, but they are not very good apparently:

Here are scripts I have used to generate them:
