Nick, one of the tag-lines I was thinking about was: - Liberate your data - Free your data
Or "The database that..." before either one of those. This is the direction I'm feeling our tagline should go in.See the tagline discussion on the marketing list for more. Maybe this helps you with your logo work! (I think this discussion should actually move to marketing@c.a.o for now. We can bring back a final list of candidates to the dev@ list once we've been over enough iterations.)
