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! -Sarah Stierch On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 4:10 AM, anna jonsson <annaba...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > I'm an artist,and recently found out about this gendergap list > amazing work you have done! > so I send a proposal for the logo... > Anna > > > ------------------------------ > Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2011 21:17:38 -0400 > From: sarah.stie...@gmail.com > To: gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org > Subject: [Gendergap] "Mind the Gap" Barnstar/Award - I need your help! > > > Hi everyone, > > I recently mentioned the idea of the "Mind the Gap" barnstar/award.
