Thanks for your explanation. Even if this is more a topic for the 
website list: Does this mean that sub-categories are not possible with 
the PloneSoftwareCenter?

There are already some sub-categories listed on the wiki page:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Extensions-website#Categories_for_templates

If it would be possible to have Extensions and Templates as main 
categories (I'd add Galleries as third one in future), all the present 
categories could be moved to sub-categories.

Depending on plone several level of sub-categories might be possible and 
searchable, but I don't have any idea of the background.

Understood - at least for the moment there is no other possibility.

Something like I did in my first proposal?

Andrew already created a combined logo with (modified) triangles:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/1/1e/Templates_logo.svg

Based on the scatter motif he combined triangles to outline "X" and "T" 
- perhaps they can be divided into two logos.

(I still don't feel too comfortable with using the triangles - even with 
rounded corners as in the document symbols and motif - in regular 
patterns like 90° rotation, the motif gets it's vivid and friendly 
expression by the unordered overlapping arrangement of different sized 
triangles. But as I can't provide better proposals, I won't complain...)

Best regards

Bernhard
