I've been on Arachne almost since the beginning and have the Arachne pin but can't find it at present. Maybe someone could put their pin on flicker so everyone could see the logo we had. Maybe we could reuse it with the 20th Anniversary notation.
I like the idea Alex had of making a small transfer sheet. That would be easy to add to our existing equipment. I also liked the idea of a patterned fabric we could all purchase by the yard and make our own cover cloths, knitting bags or smaller bags to keep our needlelace or tatting stuff in, or even larger scale tote bags for pillows. Maybe using the spider part of the logo for the patterned fabric. My friend digitizes logos for cover cloths that she sells at IOLI conventions and I bet many of us know where we could get something like that done by a local business. In the US it seems that most towns have a business like that. I have even done iron on logos on fabric printed on my computer in the past. It would be good to have the logo available for download by all of us. I also like the idea of someone coming up with a lace design, maybe a line drawing, that could be made into a pricking for different types of lace, similar to the poppies made by international lacemakers, and then having our finished designs online for everyone to see. If we do this, we should have the design well ahead of 2015 so that slower lacemakers have a chance to get theirs done by the deadline.

A chance to influence a younger age group so I had better not blow it. Going to show more contemporary designs to them as well as historical laces. Hi Arachnids > > This is for anyone in the know.
