Rails logger format string configuration

Question

How can I configure the rails logger to output its log strings in another format? I would like to get something that is more informative like:

[Log Level] [Time] [Me

Answer 1

For rails 4 apps, I've put together a simple gem that not only adds support for basic tagging like time stamp and log level, but even adds color to the log messages themselves.
