Hi there,
I hope you don't mind me dropping this in the hat. It's original art and I
feel speaks simply and graphically to the essence of coworking "individuals
/ together"... I can provide a clean copy & feel it could be tweaked
further... OURSpace has not had lift off /opening at this time.
I like their treatment of it. Nice.

Why not do two stick-figure people to either side of a desk, leaning
back in their chairs with their feet propped up and arms behind their
heads? It's informal, it's fun, it conveys the idea of a shared space,
etc. You could even put a starfish logo on one of the desk drawers if
you wanted.

Hi all,
I've just finished reading the starfish book...and I'm wondering

picking the other one for these mockups.

Hey Tony,
Looking good...although as I told Chris, I really don't want just a plain

man) and coworking is international. It also would be a leap to explain that
the star was actually a fish. :) If we can find a better star
I like Berislav's point as well. But what we really need are
alternative sketches -- since it's easy to point out things that
aren't compatible with our tastes in writing, but much harder to

Feel free to bring forward other symbols. The starfish is sacred to me (as

One of Chris' main concerns with a starfish was that every single starfish
kind of brings up thoughts of the beach. He's right. It's just one of those
symbols. Here

I like the use of the starfish to symbolize the coworking network, but
