I know that Dilwyn's original web-page never >got much feedback Graphically all the other examples are far superior to the one that you prefer - which is the one with QL and a small bird image to the left of the Q. In todays graphically rich computer world I woud think that eye catching imagery is essential. My favourite in pure visual dynamic is the Nico 'Acrux' Macrionitis 3D image showing the letters QL mapped onto a sphere ( world ? ), inside an open 3D perspective box, and then floating above a landscape and sky ( the printing is not too clear in the magazine ). The three that feature the wording 'Quantum Leap' are all well done in terms of 'text' as an 'image'. The one by Melissa Ward in 3D looks nice even in B&W. However, I believe that 'Quantum Leap' has had its day a main slogan. Better to just use the initials 'QL' in the same way that 'PC' is used now. Overall I think it has to appeal to future more than the past, so an exciting 'image' can encapsulate something that will appeal to a wider audience. -- Malcolm Cadman
Re: [ql-users] QL Logo
I haven't had that many replies (a total of about 20 between the ones on and off this list) and the golden 3D one is slightly ahead so far, followed by the one with the little bird looking at the QL letters and the one with the three coloured squares to the left is third. As I could probably have predicted, my own entry has so far got the grand total of 0 votes :-( Dilwyn Jones > I have just been having a look at the various logos which Dilwyn put into QL > Today. > > My preference would be for the one from Jean-Yves Rouffiac :-) > > Anyone else got a preference??

I just need to wait until everyone's REALLY desperate for one, before I can afford to make them. They're zero-profit high-build-cost, so I need to be sure of selling them all before I make them. Dave

[ql-users] QL Keyboard Membranes
This has sparked a lot of interest on the mailing list, so I think the best way forward at the moment is to collate a list of people who are interested in getting hold of replacement membranes. I have added a page to my web-site where you can register your interest, so that all QL traders can judge the interest and whether it would be feasible to do a new run of membranes. Visit: http://hometown.aol.co.uk/rwapsoftware/membranes.html to register your interest Kind Regards -- Rich Mellor RWAP Software 35 Chantry Croft, Kinsley, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF9 5JH TEL: 01977 610509 http://hometown.aol.co.uk/rwapsoftware
