Coming up with a quality logo can be a journey, but a worthwhile one. One fun exercise to really get the process started is to ask everyone on the list, or via a survey of some kind, to give one phrase, or idea, or a feeling, or color, or actor, or movie, etc that Webware reminds them of. e.g.: If Webware were a feeling, what would it be? If Webware were one idea, what would it be? How would you summarize Webware in less than 5 words? This survey could even be a page on the Wiki that gets extended with answers. So you end up with a whole bunch of little phrases and metaphors for Webware, which become the inspiration for developing a logo that conveys those ideas. This gives a logo designer a pool of ideas to pull from, and also provides a kind of ideological baseline which in turn provides consistency across different logo designers' efforts (if they read it!). At some point the group can say, Ok we've got this list of ways to describe Webware, now everybody start submitting logos. And once enough submissions come in, the group can vote or the core team managing the development can just pick from those options.
