Just replying to note that I've been too busy with all sorts of stuff and expect to handle my promised share of this this coming weekend.
Regarding colors, but I'd also think that using some kind of variations on the Mer gfx (as an ocean and ship lover, yes- I also think the deep blue see has something very soothing in it ;) or Mer and NemoMobile combined in a way, not sure how yet. What about sending a call for proposals of logo design and have a contest where the winner gets a NemoMobile shirt as a prize ? I'll ask the good people from info@jolla to see if they are interested in sponsoring this perhaps. Gotten up so early, but sleep is for the weak anyways :-p -Sivan On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 8:44 AM, quixote <quix...@greenglim.com> wrote: > I haven't looked at the graphics yet, but just one suggestion about color: > > Not black. > > That doesn't give a pleasant, approachable impression.
