Okay I have an idea that I may regret sharing - because I am not enough of a cartographer to make it happen.
What if we went for a line work map (no fills or very saturated fills) and people could zoom into an appropriate area for their biz card or presentation subject matter? We would need a consistent palette to go well with the logo and general branding - but I love the metaphor of every member, local chapter, event having their own location driven background.
