It's the colours from the Microsoft logo except they are upside-down. ?? I'm not a lawyer but I would be surprised if Microsoft started gunning for a user group that helps promote their stuff. It's not like we are trying to be them, just wave their flag. Might do some more research just to make sure it won't be an issue. _____ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of David Gardiner <da...@gardiner.net.au> Sent: Tuesday, 11 April 2017 7:48:59 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Logo for Ozdotnet I think these are good. I'll overlook my state being divided in two :-) Wondering about the colours though - they're presumably based on the Microsoft logo colours. Would it be better to have them in the same order (eg. clockwise from top-left red, green, yellow, blue) ? Or is it intentional to not do that to avoid legal issues? Or maybe have them upside down as a nod to being 'down under'?

One with and one without the .com. We also have ozdotnet.com.au and more recently ozdotnet.io. (because some dumbarse thought that would be a much better domain name... sounds geeky) So far option 6 is winning. _____ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of David Richards <ausdot...@davidsuniverse.com> Sent: Monday, 10 April 2017 3:43:47 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Logo for Ozdotnet #6 is the best f those presented. Some suggestions: - I think "oz.net.com" is just unclear. - We probably don't need the ".com" as part of a logo. The actual website can be additional text below the logo on any promotional material rather than part of the logo. - Did you try "ozdotnet" on a single line?

Plan is to put this on the website/forum (if/when that goes up) and make stickers and tshirts available (probably RedBubble). Turn it into something people can promote and get a bit of new blood. Feedback welcome. cheers Stephen p.s. personally I like 06, but have asked if she could have white text with a black outline (to make it easier to read). Also liked the OZ characters being slightly larger. -- David Connors da...@connors.com | @davidconnors | LinkedIn | +61 417 189 363
