Personally, I think we need a new POM version to drive us forward. As a visual goes, I'd look for something like a beaver (who builds things) wearing geek eye-glasses (indicating 'it's a maven'). On Wed, Dec 18, 2013 at 10:18 AM, Stephen Connolly stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com wrote:

+1 with the idea of a beaver or so. An animal building things would be a better match for Maven. The one you designed is already in the right direction. I would imagine one with an additional pencil on the ear and a helmet like this one for example:
