LGPL it is then > > If any of the proposals (I'd call them "design ideas" for the moment) > would be integrated in the main product some day, it's license should be > compatible with the product. "Design ideas" "Design Concepts" or "Conceptual Branding".

Some kind of recognition might be appropriate IMHO. > Let's let it be free as we possibly can at the moment, I think everyone will have the above in mind in any case so it goes without saying. At this point in the process we are dealing with the "Show Version" like carmakers do for car shows.

So for instance (and please everyone feel free to shoot these down and substitute your own) Use the present Icon colours only and 6-52-140 A Gull type bug and/or the reverse "S" and use the "liberation" font set. And we set a time frame... say two weeks from today to have something nailed down. I would suggest also making notes of your design inspirations and reasoning in the same way as you would if you were doing a branding pitch to a client.
