Hi Anna - 

Cool drawing! In my original email I was actually seeking something inspired by 
the "Mind the Gap" theme from the London underground. 

It is a cool drawing - but I do think having something more gender neutral will 
be ideal for this award (you can learn more about barnstars here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Barnstars ). While she has quite the 
personality (it appears an angry one, and many of us can relate to that!) the 
"vagina vision" (ha!) might make it a little odd to give to men and for men to 
give to others. 

Thank you for your effort!

Hi everyone,

I recently mentioned the idea of the "Mind the Gap" barnstar/award. The term 
"mind the gap" is in reference to the warning set forth by the London 
underground to warn people to make sure they pay attention the space between 
the train door and the station platform (learn more here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_the_gap).

Are you a designer? Or do you know a designer who would be happy to volunteer 
their time to creating an award for Wikimedians who work hard to close the gap 
within Wikimedia through outreach, welcoming, standing up for others, writing 
about and maintaining women's articles or related images, and forth?

Here is the original "Mind the Gap" logo...which I believe is under copyright?: 
http://www.earthpm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/mind_the_gap.png

Here is a cool feminist spin on it: 
http://londonstudentfeminists.blogspot.com/

Another fun piece of inspiration - the German women's movement logo of the 
1970: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Womanpower_logo.svg 

I tried to develop something myself, but, my own skills are rather pathetic in 
regards to design. I will award you with a barnstar of your own and a beer if I 
ever meet you (or a beverage of your choice) - or the designer you recruit!! 
And of course fanatically praise the awesome-ness you or the designer are 
through Twitter, Wikipedia, mailing lists and beyond.. <3 

THANK YOU for your consideration!

[Sarah Stierch]

I think it's pretty cool too! I'm not sure...the blog hasn't been updated in
a while, but they have a Facebook group:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=59200549800&ref=ts

They are the London Student Feminists.

Should I write to see what they think? Panyd - Do you know anyone there?

Hi Sarah,
I love this idea and have always loved the phrase in its original use too.
I've passed on the request.
