Also, with the LGM board we have agreed that from now on the LGM brand would be the one created by Alex. If you guys want to change that decision, the colors it has to be consistent and done in the earliest possible stages of the organisation (that is, at the end of the previous LGM !!! :) aha! ). I am already using that color for business cards, invitations letters and advertising in the magazine of one of our partners, ICGQ. It could of course be changed but if yes, then do it quick and agree on it quick too. I am about to produce the t-shirts ! :) And the website is already up with that color. My take is I would prefer that the surroundings graphics change from year to year but not the logo and not the type. Something has to remain consistent. It's branding. One thing to consider is if we are going to change color every year, will the LGM brand be well served by such a decision. To me it is far more important to have the PR and Pledgie and Website and Call for participation out and Sponsors than any other consideration at this point in time, especially because we are not that numerous to work on all those things. If everyone gives his opinion on the color of the logo we're in for a long round here. As always, I am ready to be convinced by good arguments but time is running low. :) Cheers!
