I wanted to start with a call to the 800+ people in this google group to see what resources might be available here. I have an idea how much it costs to get a good designer, but I'm fairly leveraged as it is. Stepping up a level: if we had unlimited resources here, who would you go to for logo and site design? I'm fond of the work done for Firefox/Thunderbird for the Mozilla Foundation, but I don't know who did that. (I'm sure I can find out...) Does anyone else have some particularly inspiring designers to consider? Kevin
