I, too, being a closet design nerd, would also volunteer to be on some sort of committee.

Ignite, Drupal, Ubuntu, OLPC and lots of other tech groups have logos and
brand identities. Actually some of the best- known logos are for
non- profits-- I'll bet most of us can mentally summon the United Way logo, no
problem. I don't see it as a corpporate gesture. Code4Lib is a group that
people are excited to be associated with, so I think it makes sense to have
a logo to put on stickers, shirts, etc.

I'll offer that I tried my hand at designing a logo for my library last
year. In fact, several of my colleagues made attempts as well, but I won't
implicate them by name. The results ranged from uninspiring to ridiculously
terrible. We're now working with a professional graphic designer and I think
that's a good way to go.

Because of our project, I've gotten interested in logos and would like to
volunteer to serve on the committee, if there is one.
