I would vote for orb1 because it is a very neat and clean design. I must say that the way that the feather logo presents the word OPEN - the smaller wings leading the eye towards a larger set of wings and then an even larger blue word OPEN - is what I LOVE about that logo. Definitely a tough choice! Good designs...and if you do not already have it, beta version of PhotoShop CS6 is a free download until they sell it in May...just for you crafty folks.

These are all good choices. But I think AOO_orb1_logo_webSite.jpg is the best choice for the website. (My second choice would have been AOOfeather_logo_webSite.png. I really like that as well, but considering the wide range of languages spoken in the larger user community, a logo that has the extra text slogan would be less universal.) > Given the Lazy Consenus "process", discussion will be closed on Tuesday, > April 2, 0900 PDT. > Hopefully, we'll have a clear choice by then. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > MzK > > "Women and cats will do as they please, > and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." > -- > Robert Heinlein >
