What else has widespread interest?

1. Chinese Lunar New Year, February 10th, but is really a multi-day
holiday in countries that observe it.  2013 is the "Year of the Snake"

2. March 20th, First Day of Spring

3. March 27th, Document Freedom Day

4. May 22nd, 200th birthday of Richard Wagner (add Viking horns to the logo?)

5. June 15-30 FIFA Confederations Cup (turn logo into a ball?)

It depends on how often we want to change the logo.

I also think we would benefit from a redesign of the website look &
feel.  IMHO what we have today is too "busy".
