Interesting... I think those logos are crappy. But hey, let's take your point and run with it. So we have bridge-and-bulrushes for British Waterways', and a factory-and-wave for Factory Records. Do we really want map-and-magnifying-glass-and-ones-and-zeros for OSM? Or can we break that down/simplify that a bit, so designers have some more room to move? Maybe that would help us to find some common ground between those emphasising the importance of story vs those emphasising graphical/technical/appearance. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
