Dear Code4Lib, Because I'm not a coder or a librarian, I am not a member of the Code4Lib community. However, my husband Jonathan, who is a member, told me about the logo thread Roy started last week. As a professional designer, I agree with Roy that Code4Lib could use a well-designed logo to bring its activities under a unified brand.
Having close ties, I would like to do my part to help out your community. To that end, I am volunteering to design a logo for Code4Lib. My one request would be that you actually work with me as a professional designer, rather than turning this into an open contest. Code4Lib is many things to many people. Reconciling these perspectives into a single brand is, as Roy said, not an amateur task, and will require some coordination to merge the input and ideas from the community. As for the process, I think Roy has it right. Form a small committee to handle the details and distill the opinions of the community at large. I'll start with a few drafts the committee and community can comment on, and we'll go from there. What do you think? Sincerely, Stephanie Brinley President, Adelie Design http://www.AdelieDesign.com/
