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. :) --- David Cloutman <[log in to unmask]> Electronic Services Librarian Marin County Free Library -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kevin S.

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 -- There are two kinds of people in the world: those who believe there are two kinds of people and those who know better.
