Hi Folks, This seems to be in part a re-hash of a very old (2007) discussion on this same group that might be worth looking at first:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/coworking/coworking$20logo/coworking/Kx-PSRJV6P0/Adyc_cDUuW4J I think it's a very useful earlier conversation for several reasons: - It's actively constructed by some of the early and most important creators of the coworking movement - It puts forth the starfish as a central image for coworking and explains why - It puts forth a clear argument as to why some kind of symbol for a movement might be an important thing. - They created a logo page on the wiki as a workplace for people to try to create the ideal form, with many examples for people to contribute to: http://wiki.coworking.org/w/page/16583882/Logo My sense is they were pretty far along in the conversation, so we'd do well to start there.
