If nobody authoritative wants to set up a poll, I can certainly do one :) I'm a little bit busy at the moment, but as long as we're not in a hurry...
To prevent overwhelming people with options, and after letting these stew for a little while, I'd be happy to limit choices to: * shapes: just circle and hex. I think circle is strictly better than "straight", and I think "slant" is too disorganised / unclean to be a winner. * colours: "feature" and "half". The plain versions are probably too boring to bother with. So that only leaves 4 proposals, across those two axis. I can include more if people think it's worth it, but I don't want to overwhelm. I've made a start here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oMKuPCIz5bmUokrN6mllYpIDH7cmVQTzuZAcUdGH1HM/viewform Please DO NOT COMPLETE THIS POLL (until it's finished), I'm just posting here to solicit feedback. I obviously need to populate the rest of the images, but is there anything else we want to ask? Is anything phrased poorly? Is it OK to require a google login? I'm assuming everyone has access to one, and it'd prevent the laziest attempts at skewing the results. Cheers, - Tim.
