In my experience, good brands accurately represent the organizational
nature of the entities they represent. IMHO, "as disorganized as humanly
possible," isn't such a bad place to start. :)

Good questions.  I might lean towards what Wally said though about
this getting a little too organized/corporate if we go that route.
I'd like a nice logo because... well... oooh shiny!  I'm not that
interested in it for branding purposes though.  I'd like the main body
of "code4lib" to remain as disorganized as humanly possible (though I
think it's fine for all the "code4lib" projects (the conference,
journal, planet, etc.) to organize themselves as much as they
like/need).

My 2 cents...

Kevin
