I'm a bit uneasy that our best graphic designer doesn't like a design that the rest of us amateurs are about to adopt. I don't want to adopt a design that Linda doesn't like. Linda is a professional graphics designer. We would be wise to seek her guidance. It would be sad if we had a sub-optimal design because we failed to put our most skilled member in charge. I believe in meritocracy. For the book covers, I Linda should provide guidance, and make the final decision. Just like we do for the rest of the guides. For written text, Jean and Janet provide guidance, and make the final decisions. That is as it should be. I'd also like to hear from some other people, if anyone else has an opinion. Although everyone who has commented so far (including me) says they like Daniel's version, we're heard from only a few people. I did not mean to advocate that page as much as people seem to think. I was just answering Peter's request to put the logo down there. It's good to let people try out their ideas, and this was just part of that. I did say that visually, they both look good to me. I said that what I liked about the latter was getting a bit of recognition. But please don't take that out of proportion. First, it was a side comment. Second, even if we were to decide that we'd like a bit more recognition, there are a bazillion ways to go about it. Cheers, Just a few ideas: Perhaps the OOo logo and the OOoAuthors logo in a circle with OOo on the top half and OOoAuthors on the bottom to represent different sites yet one cause.  Also if we do use both logo's the gulls in the authors logo should go.  We have the gulls already on the page.  Maybe both logos in a circle with the gulls in the middle?  If you want to use both we need to find away to combine OOo, OOoA and the gulls.
