To be honest, I don't think the bottle logo is any good for anything. It's unbalanced, unmemorable, fiddly and pretty ugly. Might be a good opportunity to run another competition, and at the same time get some publicity for what we are trying to achieve -- explaining why we need a logo would coincidentally also publicise our philosophy on derivatives (cooperation with/encouragement of etc.)... With luck we might even get a decent logo for that use out of it too ;-) Cheers, Nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
